sszelei Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 I have heavily modified the controls structure to display images in the radio options for each resale item. These images are added in the administrator just like any other option. The admin section was modified also but not open as this is a live site. Check it out and see what you think. Coming soon to the babysoftusa.com site - control option dependency with ajax that is controlled through the administrator. Depending on selections in one control other controls will display or hide with appropriate selections. www.babysoftusa.com Regs, Steven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lputman Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 I like the pictures in the options for the radio buttons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Yuen Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Your pictures are extremely slow loading. Consider a thumbnail contribution. Also since you are only offering English and US dollar as a currency consider removing those infboxes. The falling leaves are unnecessary and annoying. Consider removing. Other than that your site is stock osCommerce and is not ready for a review. Consider making more changes to the default osCommerce layout before asking for a review. I don't like the horizontal scroll for the options. Nielson has written about how horizontal scroll is one of the top ten usability mistakes that webmasters make.

The annoying falling leaves was what the shop owner wanted for fall but will reconsider. What would you recommend as a replacement for the horizontal scroll for something that has a potential to grow the page substantially? Thanks for your recommendations.

stonjie Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Also please have a look at it in another browser. In Firefox, it overlaps for the different options of products. In Opera it doesn't even give a horizontal bar to scroll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digilee Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 I agree with Andrew. Nothing really any thing other than a stock install. And is it really appropriate to have an advert for 'sexy' clothing on a baby site? 1 out of 10 for effort. SolarFrenzy Solar powered gadgets at down to earth prices.

sszelei Posted October 11, 2008 Author Share Posted October 11, 2008 I have finished the dependency system. Selections in a parent control now control other controls and the attributes that are displayed using ajax. While you will not be able to see it, the admin section has been completly rewritten to allow for multiple attributes selection for assignment to product based on the option type selected and a new section has been added to assign the parent child relationships for the dependency system.

Guest Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 Conditions of use not done. Stck standard install with some add ons. Does the home page serve a purpose? Get rid of the ads, sexy clothes on a children's site do not belong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get rid of the ads, sexy clothes on a children's site do not belong. Working on the home page. Only 2 add-ons for control types and Paypal system. The rest was coded new. Sorry I hate trying to figure out what everyone else has done and how to code around it. Cant get rid of sexy clothes ad. It actually gets a number of click through believe it or not.

I do appriciate all of the comments though. I had forgotten to remove the Conditions of use link and do hope to have a nicer looking GUI soon.

lindsayanng Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 it took A LOT time to "upload available selections" and then it seems that not all products have a dependecy attribute.. so you have to wait for it to laod for nothing?? I dont know.. I was on the ROLL BAG page, and clicked fabric and strap type, and it gave me that warning, but nothing changed.. on the blankets it seemed to work correctly. HOWEVER< if i chose IMAGE ONLY, then it asked me if i wanted to put it RIGHT OF NAME or LEFT OF NAME.. but i choose not to have a name.. Otherwise, now that i see how it works, i like what you have done!! i will be creating a custom t-shirt design store, are you going to upload this as a contribution? I LOVE THE COLOR PALLET! is that you coding too? A great place for newbies to start Road Map to oscommerce File Structure DO NOT PM ME FOR HELP.

I LOVE THE COLOR PALLET! is that you coding too? Thanks, I had not noticed that on the roll bag or the pillow before. appears I introduced a bug in my last "FIX". I hope to add this as a contribution but while I am using it on this site I do not think it is ready as a contibution yet. I need to fix the bugs and clean up some of the code, then remember where I made all of the changes so people can update their stuff. I could just upload the entire os site. The color pallet was my own doing and while almost just like the other controls it is a bit of a hack in the product_info.php page which I need to find a cleaner way to handle. The hack has to do with the order of the colors and is in the database script to bring it back in the order I wanted the colors to display. If I did not do this the colors would display in the order in which they were input into the attributes table. It is fully customizable as each color is an attribute assigned to the item and option type. Thanks for all of your comments they have provided me with a number of things I need to update. If I dont get this up as a contribution before you create your store drop me an email at [email protected] and I will send you the the code.

lindsayanng Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 that you be awesome.. THANK YOU If you need any graphical work (which seems like you do at this point) let me know.. I like doing stuff like that.. I hope you get it all sorted.. its going to be an awesome contribution.. Now the BEST BEST addon would be to have the product_info image change as you add attributes.. now, that would be a LOT images if you have a LOT of attributes, but for things like blankets, to have red show up in that big image as a red blanket would be neat.

Rachael w. Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 The product info pages have some nice features. Get it out of the catalog and into the root. Lose the intro page and put that info on your index page. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well since you mentioned it "product_info image change" I am working on a designer that allows the user to drag and drop of attributes onto the clothing and the post back would send the image of what the user had designed. The hardest part is getting the scale of all of the images correct. I thought about doing this with FlashMX or Silverlight but then realized I can do it all in javascript and keep the system somewhat contained. Well that's the future for now one disaster at a time.

lindsayanng Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 The hardest part is getting the scale of all of the images correct. I'm not sure what you are talking about here.. If you need ANY help with imaging, you can get it here..i'm more into graphics and design than coding.. I mean, you can take one single image and make it look like you have 10 pictures of different products by using photoshop and changing the colors there.. THAT is what i would LOVE to be able to do.
