Attribute Swatch Colors

[lesliekirk]

Is there a way to use a color name to display an attribute color swatch instead of having to create an image swatch?

Hi Leslie,

You could probably use some CSS magic to control a SPAN tag and fill it with the background color of the swatch name. The only sticky part about this would be the swatch name would have to be a named CSS color [ https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css_colors.asp ].

Yeah, I was curious as to what the commented out code in the scripts.js file that mentions swatchColor and has a ton of color names and hex codes for them.

Hi Leslie,

That was holdover code from Suivant. It applied an outline of the appropriate color to the swatch when it was selected if the code matched one of the color codes.

LOL, okay. Nevermind. Maybe this can be a 2.0 wish list item

couldn't you do it using class names and corresponding selector definitions like .almostBlue { background: #0000FA; width:20px;height:10px } and <span class="almostBlue"></span>

Enter the class name in the swatch image field for the attribute?

I'm not sure if there is a way to do this through image machine, I was thinking more of just using attribute templates...but then I'm old school as in it would be faster for me to implement via attribute code and my own jQuery than to figure out where the bones are buried in image-machine :)

If this was feasible through image machine, i'd assume Matt would chime in.

I was referring to the Attributes - the field where you upload the image through.
