I am using v1.48 and doing well getting a shop setup and loaded with products etc. However, I am not sure if something I am trying to achieve is standard within Opencart?
Basically I have a product with lots of colour options and rather than having to go in and graphically place a colour number onto a picture of the colour swatch I was hoping I could set a tag somewhere regarding the picture to show a number in a tooltip when the mouse is rolled over the colour swatch in additional images. At the moment the tooltip displays the product name but the same on all the pictures.
I am able to achieve what I am looking to do or is it not possible with Opencart?
Any help would be appreciated and I hope I have the post in the correct section???? Apologies and guidance if not.
Merry Xmas and thanks for all help

Thanks ever so much Jay for quick reply. Ok, I will try and explain in as clear a fashion as possible.
I am setting up a shop selling knitting yarns. Each of the yarns can be in up to 60 colours. As the colour samples are simple jpeg pics approx 150x75px in size and available from the yarn manufacturers website with permission to copy, I have simply copied these colour swatch pics and uploaded to use for the product. However, the pics are only pics, on the manufacturers website they have the colour code below the pic. So, if I need to display the pic on to Opencart as additional image I would have to use a graphics package and manually write the colour code onto the pic then resave. Then reupload. If I have 130 type of wool each with 20, 30 50, colours whatever, you can see the problem.
Now I have to enter each of the products into the Opencart system initially to load the database, however for each product there is numerous tags, descriptions etc but I cannot see any input to enter a tooltip text content.
When you enter a new product and add additional image you only get the option to add the image I expected to see perhaps an entry for tooltip text or popup help. That way I can enter the colour code appropriate to the pic as I enter the products into the system??
I do appreciate your help so quickly if this explanation is not clear enough, I could let you have the link so you can see for yourself if you give me your email address?
Thanks again

need to edit the cart to do this.
2 ways ---
1.) add a "new" field to the db and to the necessary files.
controller and templates (admin and catalog)
2.) name your images with the color code:
ie, XYZyarn-FFFFFF.jpg
then edit the product controller to explode the name at the hyphen and then use the color code and push it to the html img tag's title.
Number 2 method is the least amount of coding but is less coding.
I think that number 1 would be better since you can control more of what you want to push to the image tag on the catalog template.
