I'm building a webshop based on Ubercart, and products have a custom attribute "sold out". When this attribute is checked, all product images should be displayed with a semitransparent overlay textbox: SOLD OUT. Theoretically, I found a couple of promising options, but none of them seems to me satisfying:
Using node--product.tpl.php to insert a custom overlay div around the rendered image. This is a very fragile solution, because I cannot put the overlay div inside the main-product-image div. Therefore, it's hard to make it responsive, and on the other hand, cross-browser issues might raise because of the opacity...
Adding a new image style and overriding theme_uc_product_image function. Since style_name is hardcoded here as 'uc_product', it is obvious to override this. But no node array is available here to decide whether to override image_style or not. Maybe a custom sql query?
Manipulating the default uc_product image style from code with hook_image_styles_alter function. Same problem: no node array here.
Any idea?
