    Image Machine alternate text

    Has anyone ever come up with a solution for providing a small text description along with each image on a product page? We used to do this manually with Lightbox, but when we switched to the Levels theme, we decided to use the built in Image Machine. Problem is, there isn't really anywhere to add such descriptions to individual images.

    We have customers who are now running into some confusion about what they're looking at, if for example, a product comes in multiple colours.

    We've done it before using custom product fields. We created a custom product field for each additional image. We then load them on the page in a json object and link them to the image type by the naming of the image type and custom field.

    For example, if the image type is main, we would create a custom field called "imagetext_main"

    This allows us to check which image type was selected and then load the right text for it.
