eCommerce - couple of issues

[Mel_RB]

1/ Social integration - I want to integrate some social elements and for this I need the {tag_smallimage} to be used as the thumbnail on the social sites - but I just need the image URL not the full img tag.  In another web app I have done this by using the tag {tag_imagename_value}  but I have tried {tag_smallimage_value} - but no joy? 

2/  Attributes - Why is there not a text box attribute?  I am currently making a eshop that offer engraving, the product might have three attributes and each needs engraving.  What I wanted to do was:

Attribute One: (a drop down box of options)

Attribute Two: Textbox to enter what is to be engraved on attribute one

Attribute Three: (a drop down box of options)

Attribute Four: Textbox to enter what is to be engraved on attribute two

Attribute Five: (a drop down box of options)

Attribute Six: Textbox to enter what is to be engraved on attribute one

You get the idea...  I see that you can add "Capture details" which adds a 'special instructions' box - but this is just one box and not ideal as you cannot change size or title...   Anyone know a better method?

3/ Product price - I know it has been asked but wonder if there is a fix.  After the user selects an attribute (and add cost to the product) is there a way to update the price on the page - not have to wait until added to cart?

4/ Random Product - is there a way of displaying a random product like in web apps - either from a catalog or TAG?

Hey Mel.

1. it is _path for eCommerce (Do not ask why, lol).

So... {tag_smallimage_path}

2. If you want someone to drop a message you do use the capture details box for this but for you treat it as a data store. Hid that actual box and form up your own input fields in the product layout. With javascript when they are filled in/add to cart happens have your code populate the capture details box with that field data.

3. You would need to do this with javascript again so on any change of attributes you look for a value there and update the visual price with it.

4. Not at the moment out of the box.

Hi Liam, Do you know any example code for this? Thanks.
