Looking for someone with hook_form_alter() knowledge - JQuery would be great too! - based on feedback I received.
I posted this last night elsewhere and realized I should have posted here. I am trying to make the info below as detailed as possible so that I won't waste anyone's time if it isn't something you for you.
Hi,
I am trying to make I have a project with a very short timeline, and I need someone who can help figure out/complete some product attribute customizations for Ubercart. The following are the types of attribute customizations that are needed:
1) File/Image Upload - does not need to be displayed (just uploaded)
2) Select image from a Graphics Library - buyer clicks link, chooses an image category, then an image, and this is captured to be submitted when purchasing the product - ideally the image is displayed on the product page
3) Select Box with Attribute Images Below it - I realize there is a fantastic Option Image contributed module, but this does something different - some products will have multiple attributes like this and there is no need for any image switching. All that is needed is for a row of attribute option images to be displayed (along with a title) underneath or above the select box. Having a larger version when clicking on the image would be great.
4) Text Area (rather than a text field)
5) A group of 4 text fields with considerable text and some images above it.
Additional Notes:
- All of the above are attribute / product customizations needed on the product page itself, and they are options that the buyer would choose prior to adding to the cart.
- These are types of product attributes needed - some products will have none of these, some will have a few, and some will have multiple attributes of a type described above.
- My "plan of attack" right now is to use hook_form_alter () to change existing attributes to work on some of the items above - such as the text area attributes and the file/image upload.
- It has also been suggested that doing some JQuery coding might work well for the selection of an image from a Graphics Library - this could be a pop-up dialogue, work along side Lightbox/Thickbox, or work through page redirects.
- Also, it would be great (probably through hook_form_alter() again) to be able to change the way some of the attributes are displayed - allowing more text above the attribute options (rather than below) - but this is low priority.
I don't think it is likely that I will be able to check back here, so please email me at:
I can send some links to a site where the above is already being done in another system (proprietary) - although the links will only work for a couple of days. Then that site is being taken down, hence the site is being done in Drupal/Ubercart.
Thanks,
Matt
