Request preview window for shop

REQUEST

Have a preview box, so when they go to buy a username color, glow, bold etc, they can see what it will look like. Very important when they are trying to find the right glow for a certain username color. I remember ushop used to have this, and i have so many members requesting this on my site, could this be done in the next update?

Thanks

If you enable the change always option for the item, they can change it as many times as they want without losing points again.

To do it as a preview, the action script has to be rewritten and those items must be separated into their own action files, so that would have to come when I have more time.

Okay I'll wait until you have more time, thats no problem.

however request for second feature.

If they have bought the item then its free for them to change it for x days. after x days they get a x % then after those x days it is back to the normal price again. how about this idea?

The version of ushop I had installed didn't do this. I am pretty sure I had the most recent one too for 3.0.x

Its a bit harder to do the method you are suggesting, but it would be possible providing another field was added to the user table.

Again though its something that I would look into for the future as its a bit more involved action.

I would like this too ... although I'm not complaining, there is no rush.

I looked at the script myself and can see how the fieilds are shared amongst different options, so I understand the difficulty

The problem with my site is that the members just don't know HTML hex codes, the real life saver would be some sort of js colour picker that they click to enter the code into the box. (or even a dropdown menu in the form so you could actually restrict certain colours)

Like I said, no rush.

i think that one is more urgent IMO, my members know sweet FA about hex codes

I would be happy with this idea as well, and make it so we can restrict certain colors because red blue and green are staff colors on my forum and members should not be entilted to those colors IMO

Yes but the problem with restricting colors is, they can make a color that is damn close to the ones u have blocked anyways.. Say u block the word "Red" from the colors... I could choose #FF0000, #FF0001, #FF0100, #FF0101, #FE0000, etc... and it would be so close to Red the human eye couldnt tell a difference anyways...

I know, so the way to get around that would be to have the field populated by either a dropdown box or a colour picker like the one on the wysiwyg editor. (a dropdown would have to have colour names rather than hex though)

Therefore you choose what colours are allowed rather than what colours are prohibited.
