Trouble with Drodl: Custom Product Fields Cart:

• We hide the variants that are visible on the shopping cart page.

• A hidden visibility was added until the shopping cart is manipulated
• We do not show this variant as an additional item on the shopping cart page.
• However, it will be displayed for a period of 7-8 seconds when the pages load, which will be difficult for any user. To prevent this, we hide the page content until everything is loaded. You can see it as soon as the page is loaded.

While uploading images, get a warning:

• There are fields like swatch that allow you to upload a sample image.
• If the resolution of the uploaded image is larger than the required resolution, the following warning message is displayed
• No warning will be displayed if the image resolution is less than 200px. In any case, the image resolution is more than twice the size of the color sample. A warning is displayed (Show warning) The following yellow warning is not an error:
• It is a large image! Reduce the image size to shorten the loading time. Recommended size: 200 x 200px
• The recommended image size is at least 200 pixels or twice the width of the color swatch, whichever is larger.
• When creating image fields, we check if the uploaded image exceeds the required resolution. If so, a warning message is displayed in the pop-up window for adding fields.

• For rearranging fields, we have added the ability to click the arrows multiple times to move a given field up or down, depending on the number of clicks.
• Past versions of the application, the duplicated field was inserted at the very bottom, but now we insert the duplicated field object right after the field so that it is easy for users to check the duplicated field without scrolling down.
• If the user does not want to show a certain field on the product page without deleting it, then we have the option to mark the field as draft. We manage the status of each field and check on the product page if the field is marked as draft, so we do not create the field.
