I recently purchased the Broadcast theme by Presidio and I am having regrets. I have spent a lot of time setting up color metadata accurately and now I see that to display color swatches Broadcast uses a list of color names that must match the product color name exactly, next to a hexcode.
Rather than pay for a color swatch app is there an easy way to extract the color names and get a hexcode for the colors already assigned via metadata?
Otherwise, this feels like a very long and tedious and manual job for a store with hundreds of color names.
@Kdrosas do you mean that variant at the product backend needs to use a set name?
For any product to display color swatches in Broadcast I will need to add the exact color name next to the corresponding Hex code. For example, I tested on one product page and we have three color names “Sea Fog” “Bubblegum” and “Black” and other than black, I added the hex code next to those names. Now the swatches will appear. Copy/pasting/eyedropping every color of hundreds would be a pain so I am trying to see if there is a way to pull this data from the inputs I have already done. It would have been nice for broadcast to pull from metadata…
Since this is a paid theme, I recommend to ask theme support first, they would be able to help you a lot better
hence my regret. They have been relatively unhelpful so far in answering my questions. I have received better support from developers of free/inexpensive apps! I will ask them
Not every theme can do everything, merchants always need to build those last miles.
And do WHAT with them, when dealing with technicals vagueness burns times.
If this is a global setting it should be a matter of {{ settings.hex_codes_and_files }} to access the value then build the parsing logic.
hex_codes_and_files is an EXAMPLE you need to actually look and find what the setting id(name) is.
And then there’s trying to do this at the store level with metafields and or metaobjects, or using the category/swatch system. Instead of having to hardcode such things into one themes settings; make sure theme isn’t outdated too.
It’s advanced customizations, so if you need it taken care of properly then reach out to me for theme customization services.
