Magento: displaying associated product's image on configurable product

Question

I'd like to have my configurable product's image change when I select a different simple product using the dropdown in Magento. I've tried following this tutorial, but it has no effect at all (and no errors, fyi). Can anyone assist me in a finding a solution for this?

Answer 1

That tutorial works on the latest version of magento I recently used the same method to achieve that, you might want to try using the following module:

https://github.com/organicinternet/magento-configurable-simple

Among the many feature it adds changing the configurable product image its included.

Also if you want to use the tutorial method, I recommend that you:

• Use firefox and install:
  • Firebug
  • FirePHP
  • FireLogger

Check for Javascript errors and use the Firebug Console to see if you are properly setting the js vars.
