Good to hear that you're playing with the demo implementations and have
gotten to the point of adding a variant.
You've stumbled across a feature that is not yet developed, this will be
supported in the next release.
Note: you can always add the variant using OOTB OFBiz.

Hi Nick,
I just tried out your BigFish fashion demo backend and frontend, it
doesn't seem to have anywhere to specify the product's colour and size
etc in add new product or manage product, how do you add product
variant please? Thanks.
Kind Regards

OFBiz user community:
A quick update for the BigFish eCommerce project. For more details
please visit http://bigfish.salmonllc.com. The best way to view
what this is all about is to click on the "Demo" link and play
around. The Fashion House and Electronic Store demos show the
majority of features that are available.
Significant feature enhancements since the last release are as
follows:
** Many small enhancements and fixes, in both the eCommerce and
Admin modules
** Rotating Carousel: Fashion House and Electronic Store both have
implementation examples. Content maintained in Admin Module
(Content / Home page spots).
** QuickLook on Product Listing Page (PLP): prototype available,
still needs some tweaks to control the transition
** Product "Variant" enhancements. Check out the Fashion House
demo at http://bigfish.salmonllc.com:8082/osafe/control/main.
Click on Apparel / Blouses. Play with the "swatches", works very
well in Product Detail Page. Also integrated into the SOLR facets.
On the Fashion House demo execute a site search for "pink" --
you'll see the pink variant image of the "3/4 sleeve button down".
Search for "white" and you'll see the white version. Works nicely.
** Mega Menu. Both Fashion House and Electronic Store demos have
examples of overriding the standard navigation drop-down with a
more expansive "mega menu". Content managed in Admin Module
(Content / Product Category Content).
** Under the covers (CSS): we've spent a lot of time consolidating
and cleaning up the CSS, for both eCommerce and Admin. For
adopters this should greatly simplify styling for your desired
look-and-feel. Tools in the Admin Module (Admin / Tools) to store
new style sheets and switch CSS files. Currently working on
alternate styles for the Admin Module (for some reason folks don't
seem to like our classic "in your face orange" styling!).
** Admin Module, enhancements to support all additional features,
enhanced Order Status changes (on the Orders tab).
ROAD MAP ...
For a complete list of features, what's coming soon, and our road
map go to http://bigfish.salmonllc.com/bfFeatures.html.
There was some previous interest in the multi-site capability of
BigFish. We've made some baseline changes to control the
separation of Product catalog, and the Admin Module understands
this separation. We have a clear idea as to how to separate out
the other content (home page, static pages etc.) and will be
implementing this shortly.
NEW CLIENTS ...
The community may be interested to know that we're working on two
client implementations, both decent mid-sized companies. Our
general sales prospecting efforts are beginning to pick up some
momentum and we typically have 2 client demos each week ...
obviously hoping that we will be converting some of these into
real clients over the coming weeks and months. We've also found
that the BigFish solution stacks up quite well when comparing to
Magento and other pay-for competitors. We don't have any
particular "white papers" or similar documentation but obviously
the price point is a very attractive feature. In terms of
integration we are leveraging our custom software history as a way
to ensure prospects of our capability and our ability to implement
a robust, stable, expandable and flexible solution. The rich
functionality of the OFBiz baseline is key here -- and every
BigFish implementation is by nature an OFBiz implementation so
hopefully this will bring more attention to the OFBiz project
during the rest of this year.
As always, comments, questions, suggestions are welcome!
