00:00:14:21 - 00:00:16:15
One of the key components
00:00:16:15 - 00:00:19:13
on a MegaEdit product is the canvas.
00:00:20:00 - 00:00:24:11
So in the design world, canvas
is represented the dimension of product.
00:00:24:28 - 00:00:28:22
In this tutorial, we're going to learn
how to create a canvas within our store
00:00:28:22 - 00:00:33:03
from configuration and how to assign it
to our MegaEdit product.
00:00:34:16 - 00:00:37:06
So a canvas can be a fixed size,
00:00:37:06 - 00:00:40:14
or it can have a dynamic sizing
controllable by the customer.
00:00:41:00 - 00:00:44:26
This tutorial will show
where to set up the dynamic
00:00:44:26 - 00:00:47:16
sizing option.
00:00:49:29 - 00:00:50:22
So what we need to do,
00:00:50:22 - 00:00:54:21
first of all, is to look at
how to manage our.
00:00:54:21 - 00:00:56:19
MegaEdit resources.
00:00:56:19 - 00:01:01:16
So a MegaEdit products page
contains a dropdown list on the top right
00:01:02:03 - 00:01:04:22
which allows direct access
00:01:04:22 - 00:01:08:02
to MegaEdit resources
specified on your storefront.
00:01:08:26 - 00:01:09:18
So we can access.
00:01:09:18 - 00:01:11:20
This by going to our catalog
00:01:12:20 - 00:01:15:01
product types and MegaEdit.
00:01:16:13 - 00:01:20:16
And then we'll start off
on the MegaEdit products.
00:01:21:05 - 00:01:24:03
So this is the list
I was talking about on the top, right?
00:01:24:03 - 00:01:26:05
So we. Can get to the.
Different resources.
00:01:26:05 - 00:01:28:25
You can also get to the same series.
00:01:28:25 - 00:01:34:08
Of resources in that same list
to do with your MegaEdit product types.
00:01:34:24 - 00:01:37:15
So these elements here are exactly
00:01:37:15 - 00:01:39:27
the same as the quick access elements
here.
00:01:40:26 - 00:01:43:07
It's just a different way
for you to access
00:01:43:07 - 00:01:46:01
the same information.
00:01:49:01 - 00:01:49:29
So we're going to start off
00:01:49:29 - 00:01:52:14
by going to the canvas options.
00:01:54:01 - 00:01:56:00
And then at the moment, all. We have is a.
00:01:56:00 - 00:01:57:05
Sample canvas that was.
00:01:57:05 - 00:01:59:17
Created in a previous tutorial
00:01:59:17 - 00:02:03:13
just to make sure that our product
was ready to go.
00:02:04:18 - 00:02:07:15
So any canvas specification
already defined on
00:02:07:15 - 00:02:09:11
your storefront is going to be shown here.
00:02:10:22 - 00:02:14:02
So what we need
to remember is that we can create canvases
00:02:14:07 - 00:02:16:20
and those are not going to be product
specific.
00:02:17:01 - 00:02:18:09
You can create a canvas.
00:02:18:09 - 00:02:19:15
And then utilize that on.
00:02:19:15 - 00:02:22:02
Multiple products.
00:02:22:02 - 00:02:24:03
So you create the canvas apart,
00:02:24:03 - 00:02:26:17
separate from the products,
and then assign them.
00:02:26:24 - 00:02:28:20
To your products that require those.
00:02:28:20 - 00:02:31:19
Particular canvases.
00:02:34:01 - 00:02:34:24
So what we're going to make
00:02:34:24 - 00:02:38:13
first is just a really simple static.
00:02:38:24 - 00:02:40:28
Size. Canvas.
00:02:40:28 - 00:02:43:20
So if we go to add new on top right corner
00:02:45:07 - 00:02:46:23
and there's a few basic bits of.
00:02:46:23 - 00:02:49:10
Information here that we need.
00:02:49:25 - 00:02:52:12
The first bit is a canvas name,
so this is just a name that.
00:02:52:12 - 00:02:53:27
Will appear throughout.
00:02:53:27 - 00:02:56:20
Infigo in association
with this particular canvas.
00:02:57:06 - 00:03:00:13
So say we'll make an A4 portrait canvas
00:03:00:14 - 00:03:03:13
as an example here.
00:03:06:29 - 00:03:09:11
And then
in the case of defining the canvas size.
00:03:09:27 - 00:03:11:03
So if you come further down.
00:03:11:03 - 00:03:13:14
You'll see that you have a direct
entry of width.
00:03:13:14 - 00:03:16:06
And height if necessary.
00:03:16:06 - 00:03:19:26
Alternatively, you can select some from
some preconfigured.
00:03:19:26 - 00:03:22:08
Dimensions in this dropdown list here.
00:03:22:08 - 00:03:24:13
So this is your. Standard
00:03:24:16 - 00:03:27:05
a. Sizes in both portrait and.
00:03:27:05 - 00:03:28:11
Landscape.
00:03:28:20 - 00:03:31:06
So if we pick A4 portrait, for example,
00:03:32:09 - 00:03:34:16
and click on set, you can see
00:03:34:16 - 00:03:37:17
that those sizes are altered
00:03:38:12 - 00:03:41:16
based on those selections.
00:03:44:23 - 00:03:47:00
And then going to click on Save.
00:03:47:00 - 00:03:50:22
And that canvas is now specified.
00:03:52:09 - 00:03:53:03
So we'll take a look
00:03:53:03 - 00:03:56:17
at how that actually appears
on our particular product.
00:03:57:04 - 00:04:00:17
So what I want to do first is to make sure
that this canvas that we've just.
00:04:00:17 - 00:04:03:14
Created is now available on our product.
00:04:04:27 - 00:04:07:27
So I can do this by going to our MegaEdit products.
00:04:07:28 - 00:04:11:23
Section, which is also available
in this Resource Links dropdown.
00:04:12:15 - 00:04:14:01
And when you open that up in a. Separate.
00:04:14:01 - 00:04:19:19
Tab. Locate my MegaEdit product.
00:04:19:19 - 00:04:22:26
And go to edit on the right. Hand side.
00:04:23:02 - 00:04:25:03
And then we'll go into the canvas tab.
00:04:25:04 - 00:04:26:11
So this is where you specify.
00:04:26:11 - 00:04:28:19
The canvas or canvas’
00:04:28:27 - 00:04:33:03
That can be utilized
by this particular product.
00:04:33:11 - 00:04:33:28
You'll see that I.
00:04:33:28 - 00:04:36:27
Already have my sample canvas selected,
so I could.
00:04:37:01 - 00:04:39:01
Select that if I wish. To do so.
00:04:39:01 - 00:04:40:07
If I want to allow.
00:04:40:07 - 00:04:45:02
This A4 portrait as an additional option,
then I can select this one as well
00:04:45:17 - 00:04:52:09
and hit save changes.
00:04:52:09 - 00:04:55:05
And then when I go to my.
MegaEdit product. Landing page.
00:04:55:05 - 00:04:56:14
So I. Already have this open on a.
00:04:56:14 - 00:04:58:07
Separate screen, so I'll just refresh it.
00:04:59:16 - 00:05:02:11
What you'll find is if I have one canvas.
00:05:02:11 - 00:05:05:00
Available.
Just one single canvas, then this.
00:05:05:00 - 00:05:07:06
Dropdown won't be available
because. There's no.
00:05:07:06 - 00:05:09:15
Variation in canvas is required.
00:05:09:15 - 00:05:11:18
So all you would do is hit start.
00:05:11:18 - 00:05:12:09
However, in.
00:05:12:09 - 00:05:14:13
Our case,
we have multiple canvases available.
00:05:15:02 - 00:05:17:25
So I have the ability to choose
between those canvas options
00:05:18:05 - 00:05:22:09
before I launch the MegaEdit editor.
00:05:27:19 - 00:05:29:10
Next, we're going to specify a canvas
00:05:29:10 - 00:05:32:28
which allows for dynamic sizing
by the storefront customer.
00:05:33:15 - 00:05:35:19
So we'll begin by creating a canvas using.
00:05:35:19 - 00:05:37:28
The same steps as we. Saw previously.
00:05:37:28 - 00:05:40:19
So we'll just go for add new
00:05:41:07 - 00:05:42:24
and then write in the name of a canvas.
00:05:42:24 - 00:05:49:25
So I might just put dynamic canvas.
00:05:49:25 - 00:05:52:12
The preconfigured dimension
is not critical here,
00:05:52:12 - 00:05:54:03
so I'm just going to leave that.
00:05:54:03 - 00:05:56:14
As it is by default and click on Save.
00:06:02:09 - 00:06:04:21
And then going to locate the canvas
that we just created.
00:06:05:03 - 00:06:09:21
And click on edit
underneath that canvas option.
00:06:12:28 - 00:06:15:00
Now there's a few tabs available here
00:06:15:00 - 00:06:17:04
or we're going to worry about in
this tutorial.
00:06:17:04 - 00:06:19:19
Is the canvas. Properties.
00:06:19:19 - 00:06:21:10
And you can see that the vast majority.
00:06:21:10 - 00:06:25:09
Of the canvas properties
here are to do with the dynamic size.
00:06:27:04 - 00:06:28:14
So all we need to do. To.
00:06:28:14 - 00:06:31:11
Allow the customer. To choose a well, the.
00:06:31:19 - 00:06:35:29
Size of canvas is to specify minimum
and maximum for the width and the height.
00:06:36:14 - 00:06:37:28
And then the.
00:06:37:28 - 00:06:39:29
Width and height. Step.
00:06:39:29 - 00:06:42:10
So the. Intervals between the different.
00:06:43:00 - 00:06:45:04
Steps between the minimum and maximum.
00:06:46:15 - 00:06:47:13
So let's make something.
00:06:47:13 - 00:06:48:28
Quite generic here.
00:06:48:28 - 00:06:53:06
Let's say minimum, 100, maximum
a thousand.
00:06:53:27 - 00:06:54:14
Same with the.
00:06:54:14 - 00:06:58:24
Height.
00:06:58:24 - 00:07:00:27
You can specify your unit.
00:07:01:00 - 00:07:03:03
So you don't have to use. Mm.
00:07:03:03 - 00:07:04:10
And then when you're actually.
00:07:04:10 - 00:07:06:25
Specifying the canvas size on the product.
00:07:06:25 - 00:07:10:25
Landing page, it will convert between
the units that you specified.
00:07:11:02 - 00:07:14:20
I'll show you that in a moment.
00:07:14:20 - 00:07:16:20
Then I've got width step and height step.
00:07:17:13 - 00:07:19:28
So maybe I'll go for 100 millimeters.
00:07:19:28 - 00:07:22:09
In my. Case.
00:07:23:09 - 00:07:23:29
I also have the
00:07:23:29 - 00:07:26:20
option here for the same size
for all pages.
00:07:27:01 - 00:07:29:09
So if you do want to allow
different sizes.
00:07:29:09 - 00:07:33:02
For each individual page
that you add, you can deselect
00:07:33:02 - 00:07:35:15
that option.
00:07:37:18 - 00:07:40:00
So with those options
specified, I'm going to hit save.
00:07:41:26 - 00:07:43:18
And then again, we'll have a look at how.
00:07:43:18 - 00:07:46:21
That appears. On. Our MegaEdit product.
00:07:47:06 - 00:07:48:10
So first, I need to go to.
00:07:48:10 - 00:07:51:12
The product specifications.
00:07:51:15 - 00:07:54:17
So from the dropdown list, right
click on products and.
00:07:54:17 - 00:07:57:17
Open a new tab
just so we can keep this canvas screen
00:07:57:17 - 00:08:01:07
open.
00:08:01:07 - 00:08:04:18
And it's our MegaEdit product.
00:08:04:23 - 00:08:08:13
Go to canvases
and then select our dynamic canvas.
00:08:09:09 - 00:08:10:26
Now, if you are allowing the customer.
00:08:10:26 - 00:08:14:25
To choose their own canvases
based on what we've just discussed.
00:08:15:14 - 00:08:16:16
You can't have any.
00:08:16:16 - 00:08:18:25
Additional canvas specifications.
00:08:18:25 - 00:08:20:29
So I'm just going to uncheck
those other two.
00:08:21:11 - 00:08:27:04
So my dynamic canvas
is the only option available.
00:08:27:04 - 00:08:31:15
I'll click Save Changes and then again
I'm going to reload the product
00:08:31:15 - 00:08:36:14
landing page.
00:08:36:14 - 00:08:40:20
And what you'll see there is that
my dropdown list of distinct canvas.
00:08:40:20 - 00:08:44:17
Choices has now been replaced by sliders
and direct
00:08:44:17 - 00:08:48:12
inputs of the canvas size.
00:08:49:00 - 00:08:50:11
So I have a direct choice of those.
00:08:50:11 - 00:08:54:09
It will recalculate the cost
if we specified it based on these changes.
00:08:55:17 - 00:08:56:05
And if you want to.
00:08:56:05 - 00:09:00:10
Work in a different unit system.
00:09:00:10 - 00:09:10:27
You can see that
the scales update accordingly.
00:09:14:02 - 00:09:14:16
And then once
00:09:14:16 - 00:09:17:12
we have the canvas size specified,
we can hit start
00:09:17:24 - 00:09:21:09
and that will load the MegaEdit editor
with that canvas size.
00:09:21:21 - 00:09:23:25
We can then change the canvas size from.
00:09:23:25 - 00:09:25:04
Within the editor itself.
00:09:25:04 - 00:09:27:27
We're not just stuck
with that particular canvases.
00:09:27:27 - 00:09:32:01
Then this is just a starting point.
00:09:32:01 - 00:09:34:10
Okay, so the next step here is going to be
00:09:34:10 - 00:09:38:14
to generate a canvas
with several size options.
00:09:40:09 - 00:09:43:10
So to start off with, we're going
to repeat the process, same as before.
00:09:43:10 - 00:09:45:20
So we're just going to go to our canvas
screen.
00:09:46:25 - 00:09:47:10
Remember, the.
00:09:47:10 - 00:09:49:14
Easiest way to get to
this is the dropdown.
00:09:49:14 - 00:09:51:02
List on the top, right?
00:09:51:02 - 00:09:54:02
Or you can navigate to catalog product
types.
00:09:54:13 - 00:09:59:06
MegaEdit and then MegaEdit canvas.
00:09:59:06 - 00:10:01:09
I'm going to add a new canvas option
00:10:03:19 - 00:10:04:12
and then give this the
00:10:04:12 - 00:10:07:06
name of multi size canvas.
00:10:07:16 - 00:10:08:23
So this is just for reference.
00:10:08:23 - 00:10:10:09
You don't have to give it
a particular name.
00:10:10:09 - 00:10:12:22
Of course.
00:10:16:19 - 00:10:19:10
So although we're specifying
different canvas sizes,
00:10:19:21 - 00:10:20:16
we're not going to be able to.
00:10:20:16 - 00:10:23:03
Alter the aspect ratio.
00:10:23:03 - 00:10:25:20
So ensure
that your initial specifications.
00:10:25:24 - 00:10:27:17
So down here.
00:10:27:17 - 00:10:29:23
Match the ratio of your final canvas
00:10:29:23 - 00:10:31:25
requirements.
00:10:35:26 - 00:10:37:25
So for example,
00:10:38:03 - 00:10:41:16
if I want a particular photo book
or a particular.
00:10:42:01 - 00:10:43:16
A size of.
00:10:43:16 - 00:10:44:13
Stock
00:10:47:03 - 00:10:49:05
or particular a size of canvas.
00:10:49:24 - 00:10:52:10
And I can click on that required option
00:10:52:21 - 00:10:55:20
and then hit set to define that dimension
here.
00:10:57:05 - 00:10:57:24
So let's go with the.
00:10:57:24 - 00:10:58:28
Photo book, for example.
00:10:58:28 - 00:11:02:03
12 by 12. Centimeters.
00:11:02:07 - 00:11:03:13
Any change I make?
00:11:03:13 - 00:11:05:21
So any additional canvas that. We specify.
00:11:06:05 - 00:11:07:08
Is only going to be
00:11:08:12 - 00:11:09:09
a scaling.
00:11:09:09 - 00:11:12:10
Factor of this particular canvas,
00:11:12:10 - 00:11:15:13
so we won't be able to completely alter
the aspect ratio using this.
00:11:15:13 - 00:11:17:16
Method.
00:11:18:16 - 00:11:20:08
So I'll hit save
00:11:20:21 - 00:11:21:22
and then I'm going to go in and.
00:11:21:22 - 00:11:24:01
Edit that canvas that we just created
00:11:25:10 - 00:11:27:29
and scroll across to the canvas Sizes tab.
00:11:36:16 - 00:11:37:21
So we can add multiple
00:11:37:21 - 00:11:40:29
canvas size records to a single canvas
specification.
00:11:41:13 - 00:11:45:22
Each record equates to a different canvas
size selection,
00:11:45:22 - 00:11:47:07
and we do this just by adding a new.
00:11:47:07 - 00:11:50:06
Record, which will add new entries
to this list down here.
00:11:51:18 - 00:11:53:07
So you'll see
we've already got one in there, which.
00:11:53:07 - 00:11:55:06
Is default.
00:11:55:06 - 00:11:56:09
Which is our. Initial size.
00:11:56:09 - 00:11:57:29
That we specified.
00:11:58:07 - 00:12:00:24
I could say. Add new record,
00:12:00:24 - 00:12:02:22
which will give me a new line here.
00:12:02:22 - 00:12:05:21
So we're going to
fill in the required data for this record.
00:12:05:27 - 00:12:07:04
So we'll come back to the size.
00:12:07:04 - 00:12:10:10
Factor fields. Shortly.
00:12:10:10 - 00:12:12:03
So we also need to remember to complete
00:12:12:03 - 00:12:16:11
all of the factor fields,
allowing you to modify product elements
00:12:16:11 - 00:12:20:09
such as price or weight
based on the selection of this canvas.
00:12:21:02 - 00:12:24:01
So MegaEdit allows you to assign
a price factor
00:12:25:00 - 00:12:27:18
to your canvas, allowing you to modify
00:12:27:18 - 00:12:29:28
the price depending on the canvas chosen.
00:12:30:29 - 00:12:34:03
So the price factor will be
how much the product's base price is.
00:12:34:03 - 00:12:35:16
Multiplied by.
00:12:35:16 - 00:12:38:18
Meaning that
if you were to leave the price factor
00:12:38:18 - 00:12:42:18
as its default of one,
then the base price will be unaffected.
00:12:43:08 - 00:12:46:23
If you change it to 1.5,
then the base price will be.
00:12:46:23 - 00:12:50:12
Multiplied by 1.5.
00:12:50:12 - 00:12:54:29
So for example,
if your product has a base price of £4.
00:12:56:04 - 00:12:56:26
And you have a.
00:12:56:26 - 00:12:58:00
Canvas price.
00:12:58:00 - 00:12:58:29
Factor.
00:12:58:29 - 00:13:05:03
Of 1.5, then the product you will end up
with is the final price.
00:13:05:03 - 00:13:07:21
Of £6.
00:13:11:11 - 00:13:12:29
Remember to update the other price
00:13:12:29 - 00:13:15:28
factor options to one
if they're going to be unchanged.
00:13:16:01 - 00:13:21:19
So we don't want to be left to zero,
but these are price factors
00:13:21:19 - 00:13:23:24
associated with the output type selection,
00:13:24:20 - 00:13:27:14
with the number of pages.
00:13:27:25 - 00:13:28:16
If the.
00:13:28:16 - 00:13:31:17
Base weight is being. Adjusted
00:13:31:17 - 00:13:35:14
and so on.
00:13:35:14 - 00:13:37:20
I'll give this a name and a description.
00:13:37:20 - 00:13:38:23
So I'd say factor one.
00:13:38:23 - 00:13:40:10
Point five
00:13:47:12 - 00:13:48:16
and then I'm going to scroll to the.
00:13:48:16 - 00:13:56:27
Right hand side and click on insert.
00:13:57:17 - 00:14:05:15
Now we have the ability
to modify the size factor.
00:14:05:15 - 00:14:09:20
So if I scroll to the left hand side
and the Size Factor column and hit edit,
00:14:10:12 - 00:14:13:01
you'll see here that we've got this
little pop up window appearing.
00:14:13:26 - 00:14:16:08
So this is where you would adjust the factor.
00:14:16:08 - 00:14:19:07
But remember that it's the same aspect.
00:14:19:07 - 00:14:21:29
Ratio as the default sizing.
00:14:21:29 - 00:14:23:00
Meaning that we're just.
00:14:23:00 - 00:14:25:08
Controlling a scale factor.
00:14:26:04 - 00:14:28:07
So for example, if I start modifying this
00:14:29:11 - 00:14:30:20
bar here,
00:14:30:20 - 00:14:33:11
you can
see that our new size is being calculated.
00:14:33:11 - 00:14:34:14
Automatically.
00:14:34:14 - 00:14:37:08
And our factor is changing.
00:14:37:08 - 00:14:38:29
I can also put in a number in here.
00:14:38:29 - 00:14:42:14
So let's say
our factor is just a 1.5 factor.
00:14:43:27 - 00:14:46:17
You can see my new canvas size underneath.
00:14:46:17 - 00:14:54:27
And then I can hit save.
00:14:54:27 - 00:14:56:22
I can have as many different canvases.
00:14:56:22 - 00:14:58:02
As I. Like here.
00:14:58:02 - 00:14:59:22
And then I can go back.
00:14:59:22 - 00:15:00:28
To list
00:15:02:29 - 00:15:04:22
and again we'll have a look at how.
00:15:04:22 - 00:15:06:28
This appears on our. Actual product.
00:15:07:15 - 00:15:10:13
So if I go to my
00:15:11:03 - 00:15:12:23
product settings, same as we've seen
00:15:12:23 - 00:15:16:07
a couple of times in this tutorial,
going to refresh that.
00:15:16:07 - 00:15:17:08
So we have an updated.
00:15:17:08 - 00:15:18:29
Canvas list
00:15:20:04 - 00:15:20:27
and then I'm going to make.
00:15:20:27 - 00:15:23:15
Sure that I've got my
multi size canvas selected.
00:15:24:20 - 00:15:26:16
So even though I've only got one canvas.
00:15:26:16 - 00:15:30:06
Option selected here
when I view this on our product page,
00:15:31:21 - 00:15:33:13
I will have. Two different canvas.
00:15:33:13 - 00:15:35:16
Options available
because that has two particular.
00:15:35:16 - 00:15:37:07
Specifications.
00:15:37:18 - 00:15:43:23
I can also double these up with other
canvas types or the canvas specifications.
00:15:44:06 - 00:15:45:11
So if I wanted to offer an.
00:15:45:11 - 00:15:48:27
A4 option in addition to these,
00:15:48:27 - 00:15:51:23
I could also select
00:15:51:23 - 00:15:54:25
our A4 portrait option
that we created earlier on
00:15:55:03 - 00:15:58:03
and then save that.
00:15:58:03 - 00:16:00:20
And now that will also be available.
00:16:00:20 - 00:16:03:00
In our Canvas Options
00:16:03:00 - 00:16:04:18
list.
