options_for_tying_in_part_photos_to_sub_inventory.jpg   Image/JPEG 6/22/2017 This is a small drawing on how we could add some new grouping options to help with which photos to show for what sub section. Basically, we have a photo gallery for parts and general inventory items. We do limit it to 100 photos per item, but the users can upload as many photos as they wish.

Where the grouping come in is whether to show them on the main (parent item), show on all, what possible subs (sub inventory or sub packages), under what sub attributes, and even going clear down to the mini conversion level.

Most of them are either yes/no fields or text entries. The one that gets a little bit crazy is the sub attribute level. This may need some more rules and/or additional options to help us get things right and correct.


Notes:
On a GoToMeeting session with Alan. We were working through a number of different projects. We spent quite a bit of time talking about some sub inventory projects out in ecommerce land. We started out by talking about how to filter items based on sub attributes. We looked at some ideas and code concepts that Alan was working on. They had a lot of sub queries and union clauses. We then looked at some existing options and how those worked (advanced sub PO line search and results). We came up with a way of doing smaller filter queries and then doing some union intersect queries to get some good matches. We then use the matching results and join everything back up. It might sound technical, but it was making sense while we were talking about it.

Next we jumped into the topic of adding some special flags and sections to the parts and item photos. We went round and round on some options. We ended up coming back to the actual photos and adding 5 or so new fields to help us create virtual mini sub photo groups. The five custom flags and sections were: main photo, all, sub inventory packages, sub attributes (bigger JSON object), and options for mini conversions. There will be some rules and options to help set things up and maybe some builders, but the goal is to catch the options and then show the photos back to the users based on what they are looking at. See attached for a small drawing of some of the concepts.

After that, we jumped into a discussion on selling parents, selling parents using sub attributes (requires a convert to child later on), or selling plain children. Some good discussion on that. We did reference time id # 2701 for some earlier ideas. Good stuff.
