Variants help

Hi

I could do with a pointer with variants please. I have them setup in the product with this on the product page;

<?php perch_shop_product(perch_get('product'),[
            'template' => 'products/product_details.html', 
            'variants' => true, 
            'filter' => 'slug',
            'match' => 'eq',
            'value' => perch_get('product') ]);  
        ?>

and I have this on my product_details.html (along with my other template bits);

<perch:if exists="has_variants">     
        <perch:input id="product" type="select" class="variants" options="<perch:shop id="_variant_opts" type="hidden" />" placeholder="Please choose" required="true" />
    <perch:else />

I've tried a few things, including;

<?php perch_shop_product_variants(perch_get('product'),[
            'template' => 'products/product_details.html', 
            'variants' => true, 
            'filter' => 'slug',
            'match' => 'eq',
            'value' => perch_get('product') ]);  
        ?>

But not having any joy, am I close? I've run out of things to try...

You need to put variants inside the variants tag.

https://docs.grabaperch.com/templates/apps/shop/products/

<perch:variants>
    <perch:variant id="productVariantDesc" type="text" />
    <perch:variant id="price" type="shop_currency_value" />
</perch:variants>

I don't know what you're trying to do with the code above so can't be more specific I'm afraid.

Hi Jonathan

Sorry, I didn't get a notification. I've added the variants to my product_details.html;

<perch:if exists="has_variants">     
        <perch:input id="product" type="select" class="variants" options="<perch:shop id="_variant_opts" type="hidden" />" placeholder="Please choose" required="true" />
        <perch:variants>
            <perch:variant id="productVariantDesc" type="text" />
            <perch:variant id="price" type="shop_currency_value" />
        </perch:variants>
    </perch:if>

Which displays the variants as a string. How do I select the template for variants (eg, like variants_list.html)?

Thanks Wayne

They're just a part of your product template, much like repeaters or categories would be so your html will wrap around the variant tags in your code above.

<perch:showall/> in your template will list out all the variables that are available to your template.

I'm still not getting it. Do you know of any examples out there I could look at... I've looked at nest examples where I got some of the existing code from.

Have you got a design you are converting into Shop or are you doing it as you go? The variants will conform to however you design them. They are not a fixed list of items apart from any special shop tags you might use.

Generate some options (size, colour etc) and then assign them to the product. Then generate variants based upon the options used by the product. You can then edit each variant as you see fit.

Your variant template is called variant.html – this is the form that's generated in the product's variant tab on the control panel. Any template tags in there will output in the product page if you put it between the perch:variant tags and they are assigned to the product. If they are not then nothing will show.

Here's a product template I wrote a variant for recently - ignore the markup:

<perch:if exists="has_variants">
                    <div class="l-variants">
                        <perch:variants>

                        <div class="l-variant">
                            <dl>
                                <dt><perch:variant id="productVariantDesc" type="text" /></dt>

                                <dd><perch:variant id="price" type="shop_currency_value" /></dd>

                            </dl>
                            <perch:form id="add_to_cart" app="perch_shop" action="/shop/basket" class="l-add-to-cart-form t-sans">

                                 <perch:input id="product" type="hidden" value="<perch:variant id="productID" type="hidden" env-autofill="false" />" /> 

                                  <perch:input type="submit" value="Add to cart" class="l-btn l-btn-small"/>    

                            </perch:form>
                        </div>
                        </perch:variants>
                    </div>
                    </perch:if>

Thanks Jonathan

That's a massive help and I now have the variants listed, just need the price to display, but I'm sure its my issue/typo.

Thanks again.
