different style radio buttons

[migrate7]

Morning!
Is it possible to create & implement more than one format for radio buttons within the same Estore (v7)?

I am using the file 'Act_VariantRadioButton.html', but there doen't seem to be an option to use, for example, 'Act_VariantRadioButtonWithImage.html'.

I need to display colour charts for my products, but although I thought this would be the easiest method it has so far proved impossible.

I have also tried javascript for replacing a second 'product image', elsewhere in the store, but also need this controlled by selecting a radio button.

Will I need to write bespoke code ("if" statements) to create colour charts?
If so, any useful tips?!

Thanks.

In the Choice's HTML for Name field you can add some HTML to display an image or set the text to a particular colour.


E.g. For a Choice Red

<font color="red">Red</font>

or

Red<img src="redswatch.jpg" width="40" height="20">

(in this case you'll need to upload that image via Advanced / Additional Files.

I've also done a patch that allows you to colour each item in a drop down list. It's on www.drillpine.biz/actinicstuff

Ah ha! That simple - works perfectly, thanks Norman.

Can I store the images in a seperate folder, as they don't seem to load in the preview if it says img src="colour-images/redswatch ... ?

Hi Dawn

If you want the images to appear in preview for Actinic, you would need to copy them to the following location: "C:\Program Files\Actinic v7\Sites\Site1\PreviewHTML". If you copy them to that location, you should see them in preview within Actinic.

Kind Regards

These images need to be in Site1 and entered into the HTML for name filed without a path.

I don't think that Actinic can cope with your hard-coded colour-images/redswatch.jpg.

You may also need a duplicate copy in PreviewHTML as mentioned above.
