Configureable Product Page #95

Open krebbi opened 8 years ago

krebbi commented 8 years ago

Just asking myself what would be the best way to have a fully configureable product page. one option is to make the vivid_product block editable and the other option would be splitting the product into several blocks and work with a page template. the last option would be more flexible in terms of adding more features like galleries or whatever.

what do you think and do you need some help here?

/dashboard/pages/types/output/ of the Page Type "Product Page" is not configureable so it's more a pure coding thing to adjust the layout & design of the product page. Or maybe have the template choosable on "Detail Page" in /dashboard/store/products/edit/ in the first place?

You are correct that it's somewhat of a code thing. It's not quite "configurable" as much as it's you can make any block template you'd like and select the default template output here.

I do think it might be a good idea to explore possibly choosing the block template though at the product level. Could be cool.

Also - just realized we're not allowing you to select which Page Template you can use at the creation of the Product/Page #110

I don't want the product block itself configuring the design/layout. I think that makes the view.php way too messy and complicated. Which is what 5.6 eCommerce suffers from. I think the thing to do here is
