	I've looked at that, the problem is that I have a different SKU for each product color and a different picture. Lets say my main product is ABC and I have 4 colors of the same product and 4 pictures not just swatches, SKU will be ABCred, ABCblue, ABCgreen, and ABCwhite. Those will be the only orderable options on the product detail page. What would be the way to go here? Do I need an add-on?

	Hi, That is EXACTLY what the apparel add-on supports. Each variation of a product can have a unique SKU and image as well as stock levels etc. See : http://wiki.earlyimpact.com/apparel_add-on/features

	Have used the add-on for years - works great. You can pretty easily change where you put the swatches (it is a code change but just requires moving the call).

	Here is the apparel mod installed in a site selling sinks where the product is available in a large variety of colors: http://www.glasssinksonline.com/store/pc/Bar-Kitchen-Drop-in-4p2.htm Is that what you have in mind?

	Yes, I think this is what I need. Let me try it and maybe come back with more questions :) Thanks for your help!

	Have 2 follow up question... 1. Can there be a short description added to each color? I use radio buttons and the name of the color is displayed next to it. Is there a way to show suggestions on the next 2 -3 lines before displaying the next radio button with color? i.e. radio button - "Green" - next line - "Fits with product ...." - next line "url" Short description will be stored in the db. 2. Instead of swatches I use thumbnail pictures for all the colors and if there is more then 3 colors available everything gets shifted and looks terrible. Can I change the settings somewhere to allow only 3 options per row and start a new row if there's more then 3,6,9 etc.? Thanks for your help!

	At the top of viewprd.asp is this code - you can adjust that as you see fit. pcv_intProdImage_Columns = 3 The rest of what you are asking would require custom programming. We'd happily discuss that with you if that's the route you wish to take.

	Greg, pcv_intProdImage_Columns is already set to 3, I think it refers to additional images for the main product not the color option thumbnails If custom programing is the only option I guess I'd have to do it this way. I was thinking of adding a field in the db with that short description and just displaying it after the radio button... Unless there is an easier way to go
