Theme Changes

theme Settings

button Colour

I set the button colour in the theme settings of the debut theme to #810C70

h2 Font

A copy of the original file is saves in the shopify/code folder on my PC.

In the file theme.scss.liquid on line 1394 the original theme is:

h2 {
  font-size: em(floor($font-size-header * 0.78));
  text-transform: uppercase;
  letter-spacing: 0.1em;

  @include media-query($small) {
    font-size: em(floor(($font-size-header * 0.78) * 0.9));
  }
}
 

I made the following changes:

1. the text-transform to none.
2. changes the letter-spacing to 0.
3. the font-size-header * (factor) from 0.78 to 1.
4. the media-query font-size-header to 1.0
5. Added the colour of the button to the header.

This is how it is as of Oct 14th 2019

/*=====Start of changes made by MVR Oct 14 2019========*/
h2 {
  font-size: em(floor($font-size-header * 1.00));
  text-transform: none;
  letter-spacing: 0;
  color: #810C70;
  @include media-query($small) {
    font-size: em(floor(($font-size-header * 1.00) * 1.0));
  }
}

Variants

To change the variant by clicking the image.

Make the changes by following these instructions: https://help.shopify.com/en/themes/customization/products/variants/select-variants-by-clicking-images

1. From your Shopify admin, go to Online Store > Themes.
2. Find the theme you want to edit, and then click Actions > Edit code.
3. In the Sections folder, open the product-template.liquid template. (If your theme is Venture, see the note above.)

{% comment %}
Place this in your product.liquid template, at the bottom.
{% endcomment %}
{% if product.variants.size > 1 %}
<script>
  var variantImages = {},
    thumbnails,
    variant,
    variantImage,
    optionValue,
    productOptions = [];
    {% for variant in product.variants %}
       variant = {{ variant | json }};
       if ( typeof variant.featured_image !== 'undefined' && variant.featured_image !== null ) {
         variantImage =  variant.featured_image.src.split('?')[0].replace(/http(s)?:/,'');
         variantImages[variantImage] = variantImages[variantImage] || {};
         {% for option in product.options %}
         
           {% assign option_value = variant.options[forloop.index0] %}
           {% assign option_key = 'option-' | append: forloop.index0 %}
         	
           if (typeof variantImages[variantImage][{{ option_key | json }}] === 'undefined') {
             variantImages[variantImage][{{ option_key | json }}] = {{ option_value | json }};
           }
           else {
             var oldValue = variantImages[variantImage][{{ option_key | json }}];
             if ( oldValue !== null && oldValue !== {{ option_value | json }} )  {
               variantImages[variantImage][{{ option_key | json }}] = null;
             }
           }
         {% endfor %}
       }
       productOptions.push(variant);
    {% endfor %}
</script> 
{% endif %}

1. 4 Paste the copied code at the bottom of the product-template.liquid template.
2. Click Save.
3. Open the theme.js or theme.js.liquid file in your Assets folder.

$(document).ready(function() {
  thumbnails = $('img[src*="/products/"]').not(':first');
  if (thumbnails.length) {
    thumbnails.bind('click', function() {
      var arrImage = $(this).attr('src').split('?')[0].split('.');
      var strExtention = arrImage.pop();
      var strRemaining = arrImage.pop().replace(/_[a-zA-Z0-9@]+$/,'');
      var strNewImage = arrImage.join('.')+"."+strRemaining+"."+strExtention;
      if (typeof variantImages[strNewImage] !== 'undefined') {
          productOptions.forEach(function (value, i) {
           optionValue = variantImages[strNewImage]['option-'+i];
           if (optionValue !== null && $('.single-option-selector:eq('+i+') option').filter(function() { return $(this).text() === optionValue }).length) {
             $('.single-option-selector:eq('+i+')').val(optionValue).trigger('change');
           }
        });
      }
    });
  }
});

DESCRIPTION Update

Change the description to match the variant.

https://community.shopify.com/c/Shopify-Design/Demo-change-description-in-product-with-different-variants/m-p/276269

need to figure out how to establish Option number so display can be triggered on Option #

When you edit the product description, go into "Show HTML" mode. You need to create some panels. Each panel should contain the ID and description of that variant:

<p class="description" id="7397573253">Description for variant 1</p>
<p class="description" id="7397573317" style="display: none;">Description for variant 2</p>
<p class="description" id="7397573381" style="display: none;">Description for variant 3</p>

Where:

• id is the variant ID can be seen in URL when variant is selected
• productOptions[0].id will also give the variant id where [0] is the array index.

document.getElementById("test0").id = productOptions[0].id.toString()

• style="display: none" tells the browser not to show that description
• class="description" its a hook we need to use for the callback

Having this done in the description you need to edit the product.liquid (or wherever your variant change is) and add this:

Line 729 of Theme.js is place to add change to descriptions.

// selectCallback is the callback name in Timber
var selectCallback = function(variant, selector) {

   // Simply toggle on/off the panel according to the variant selected
    $('.description').css('display', 'none');
    $('#' + variant.id).css('display', 'block');
// rest of the Timber code
}
