Options QuickView for Configurable Products in Magento
Quickly display size and color combinations directly from the category page without having to click into each product. Your customers will easily be able to see if you have their size and/or color in stock.
Absolutely essential for clothing or shoe stores!
Quickview Options in Magento Extension
This Magento Module is optimised for fast page loading times, the product combinations are only loaded when asked for, so we are not decreasing performance by overloading the page with all the information at once.
Uses default color and size attributes used to create configurable products as well as any others you have set up. Just select each product attribute you wish to use in your store.
Quickly and easily assign color codes to each color or use an image to represent a unique custom color option like a pattern, texture or color combo.
Upload your own color tiles for custom patterns and colorways.
Installation
Once you have downloaded the zip file you have 2 options,
1) unzip it and upload the contents to the corresponding directories in your store via FTP.
2) Via the admin area of your store, use the Connect Manager (System -> Magento Connect -> Magento Connect Manager) to install the package (CDL_OptionsQuickview-x.x.x.tgz).
Clear the cache (System -> Cache Management) then log out of the admin area, then log back in.
You will now have a new tab in your System -> Configuration panel called CDL with a tab named Options Quickview.
If you cannot see the new features in your category pages, you may have to manually move some files (app->design->frontend and skin->frontend) from the default/default location into your own themes folders. You may also need to tweak the css a little to suit your custom theme.
