Thanks in advance.")* Hello, You would need to perform some big modifications in the product page if you want to have a different kind of "switch" of content for the variants. HikaShop is currently doing it by copying the HTML content in some hidden div into the corresponding div in the product page. It's working very good for almost every content except element which are initialized with some javascript. So in your case, you'll need to not perform the copy of content but more doing a "hide & display" of blocks ; or you can keep the copy but you'll need to add some javascript to re-initialized the player.

In that case, trying to avoid a huge hassle, can you give me another tip? Is there a constant section which I can hook into, which does not change when a variant is selected? This way, the initialization will be made once when the page is loaded and even when a variant is selected, the code will work. This way, I'll simply create a modal with all soundtracks for all variants together. Not the most elegant solution, but I cannot invest so much now in re-writing the product page code only for that. Thanks very much.

Thanks in advance.")* Hello, You can take a look at the view "product / show" to see the blocks generated for the variants. If you change your product page (product / show_default) if you add your custom content and if it's not in the specific div (that you can found via their ID), your content will be considered as "static". I hope that my explanation is clear enough. Regards, --- Jerome - Obsidev.com HikaMarket & HikaSerial developer / HikaShop core dev team.
