Hi Kyle,

One more thought on this: Here is an example that seems to implement variations, in a gallery format, that does appear to work correctly:

Not sure this will example will be of use, but thought it might be worth a look.

Hi Kyle,

Understood. Perhaps a fix for this issue will make it into some future WooCommerce update, given that many themes provide a similar gallery approach to products.

In any case, thanks for the explanation.

Hi Rui,

Thank you for your response. I’m afraid I am not explaining the issue very well.

I understand that the main image changes, depending on the relevant variation that is selected. This works fine.

The problem is that this variation image is then connected to the first thumbnail in the series, regardless of what that thumbnail is. In other words, once a variation is selected, the first thumb image and the main image that it loads no longer match.

In the example on your demo site, once you select the sand variation, the first thumbnail, which is a single black shoe, now loads a main image that is a pair of sand shoes.

This is clearly an error, either with WooCommerce’s default variations behavior, or with the theme’s handling of variations.

Hi Rui,

Thanks, that does clear out the selection, but it is rather confusing for the buyer to have thumbnails that do not correspond to the displayed image, as well as for some thumbnails to stop displaying all-together.

Is this the default WooCommerce functionality? Am just not sure why the first image is replaced with the variation.

In any case, thanks for the response.

Hi Ed,

Understood. Thank you, again, for the previous fix.

Hi Rui,

I may be misunderstanding, but that option doesn’t seem to allow for a layout where the main product description, additional information, and review tabs are moved under the Short Description / Add to Cart button, and are displayed in an accordion format.

I have attached a screen-grab of the layout from your Cardinal demo, which shows the ideal layout, highlighted in red, which we would like to duplicate in Atelier.

Thanks,

Hi Ed and Kyle,

Thank you for the very quick turnaround — your 1.3 update has fixed the issue.

There still seems to be one minor issue with this ordering of products, namely, that the “ORDER BY” function disappears all-together when selecting and saving the “MULTI-MASONRY DISPLAY” option.

It may be designed this way, in that the multi-masonry display cannot support ordering, but just thought I would mention it, as this Product Element is one the most powerful features in your theme, and it would be very useful to have it apply to all the different display types.

Regardless, thank you for the very timely, ongoing updates.

Hi Kyle,

Understood. I had thought that a function similar to Cardinal’s “Product Description Tabs Mode” option would allow for an easy switch between the two layouts.

In any case, thank you very much for checking on whether this is possible. I suspect this option may be useful to others who are upgrading from your other themes, as placing all product description information directly under the short description and buy button is a huge usability improvement over the default position, which separates all this related information across the page, and takes the user away from that critical buy button, although I know opinions on this will probably vary.

Hi,

Just a quick follow-up on this issue after the 1.3 update. I may have missed it, but it seems that the placement of the “Product Description” content is still fixed under the image and short description areas, in its own “product-after-summary” div element.

Is it possible to re-create the placement of the Product Description and all other tabs, directly under the short description area, in an accordion style layout, as seen on this Cardinal demo page?

Our previous site, which used Cardinal, relied on this particular layout extensively, and we would very much like to duplicate it in Atelier.

Thank you for the follow-up Kyle — looking forward to the update.

Hi Kyle,

Yes — the plug-in does output the custom tabs, but they are also located under the product image / short description area, along with the main product description content.

With Cardinal, which had the “Product Description Tabs Mode” option, it was possible to place these content areas, in tab form, directly under the short description area, as seen on this Cardinal demo page.

Again, for our purposes, this layout make much more sense, and we were wondering if it is possible to recreate this layout in Atelier?

Thanks again for the quick response, Mohammad.

Hello again,

Looks like you have just released a 2.06 update. Could I also receive this update via link or email?

And, is there a way to get the latest update, without having to constantly bother you all here on the forums?

In any case, thank you for your time.

Hi Rui,

Thank you for that — issue resolved and excellent support.

Best, THK
