Magento: displaying associated product's image on configurable product - php

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?

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.

Magento CE 1.9 has default feature for it Check below Thread
Change product image for configurable products
For Prgramatically changing the image you can check Below Thread
How to change configurable product main image by associated product image based on color and size attributes?

You can also try this new module, does a lot more then scp

Display Custom Options from Simple Product into Magento 1.9.0.1

I am creating a simple test product in magento and trying to add some custom attributes for variants. Unfortunatly these are not showing up in the front end.
So I'm pretty sure it's a theme issue here...
When I add a custom product option such as a drop down, the Add to Cart button vanished and can no longer be purchased... as well as now showing the dropdown.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Is there a directory to look this stuff up in?
I've added some photos in case my description wasn't clear enough
Thanks
Try clearing your caches
Check the inventory tab, if product is saleable on frontend (in stock and has qty)
check /var/log/ and /var/report for errors
calling isSaleable() on the product object can direct you as well (this check is also in product actions template where the add to cart button is rendered)
Just a note but if you have product variants (say size) you probably want to use configurable products instead of custom options
I have had same issue in my new magento 1.9
I just clean all caches from var/cache
Also clean your cache from magento admin.

Price range filter in opencart

I have the filter module installed in Opencart V2 that filters products on a variety of attributes. They are all check boxes.
I want customers to be able to filter products using a price range slider. There are a lot of modules available online, however most are for V1.5.
How would I go about incorporating a range <input> to filter my prices?
I could add a price attribute in filters, however this limits the customer to a variety of check boxes - and I need my pricing to be extremely accurate (it will be displaying over 50,000 products).
Is there a way I can edit the current filter module, and not create a new one?
I have implemented several pricing filters in opencart. The available filters are not free so I decided to make my own. Here is what I did.
I made a custom module (price_filter) and made 3 fields in it. Min price, max price (both dynamic) and status and I downloaded price range html and put it in the tpl.
I enabled it and then on search, i grabbed the url through jquery and integrated my two own parameters (min price and max price) through jquery and reloaded the page.
In the controller, i retrieved those variables, passed to filter_data array and changed the model a little bit too. I added the min_price and max_price conditions in my model.
It was simple if you know how to play with controller and model.
Solved my problem using this extension here:
http://www.opencart.com/index.php?route=extension/extension/info&extension_id=23022&filter_search=jquery%20price%20slider&filter_download_id=42&sort=e.price&order=ASC
I am using the default theme, with stylesheet modifications. It wasn't working at first as I had modified the category.tpl file to such an extent that the plugin wasn't working correctly.
Resetting the .tpl file to it's defaults and making new changes, it now works.
You can use opencart flexi product filter extension to solve this problem

Magento Search Not Finding Newly Created Products

Our server was recently moved and rebuilt (and that's when the issue began).
The search does find products, but only those that have been created (or been enabled) before the transfer. When I search in a category in the catalog, I can find the newly created/uploaded product. It just cannot seem to be accessed by Search.
We are using Magento 1.8.1 and the SPHINX extension (supported by mirasvit).
It seems like your product's Visibility is disabled. Check your Visibility of your product. Admin-> catalog -> Select that Product -> General -> Visibility
set value to Catalog, search.
If visibility is set to catalog/search, please check the product is enabled or disabled. Wile importing or exporting the products, it seems to change the status of the products.
I also think you can try by checking product visibility to see whether it has value Catalog, Search or not.
After backing up our server from a previous date, I was able to locate and eliminate the issue. It was regarding the cache that was created from the product, and it was being misplaced. Took hours of searching, but everything is working beautifully now. =)
Thank you all for trying to help.

Magento product variations (configurable products)

I have seen many different plugins and ways to configure Magento product variations, but I wasn't able to find a way to do the following out of the box or using some plugin (doesn't matter if its free or paid):
Have a look at the following Amazon URL:
http://www.amazon.ca/Seagate-Expansion-Desktop-External-STBV2000100/dp/B00834SJS0/
I would like when I select one of the options to go to the product variation selected (instead via AJAX like in the Amazon case, but same concept).
I would also like all the product variations listed in the store and search and have the ability to choose another variation from every other option: For example im in the 1 gig product, I will still see 2gig and 4gig with ability to switch and vice-versa.
Lastly I would like to hide the "base" product from everywhere, so I also have the final options displaying in the store, the base product can still be present in the backend as a pivot, but should be hidden from everywhere else.
Do you have a clue if there is something that does that out of the box or with very little modifications?
Good news for you :)
Look at this free module: Easylife_Switcher
https://github.com/tzyganu/Switcher
It also supports graying out options not in stock.
I use Simple Configurable Products on my store: http://www.magentocommerce.com/magento-connect/simple-configurable-products.html.
Development seems to have stopped but there seem to be lots of users and you can find help on google. For example, the latest version doesn't work out of the box on CE 1.8 but there is a fix available.

Magento product custom option added in admin but does not show at front

We added a custom option in our magento product by using the import option and updated the product catalog. It's successfully done and we also did indexing but it's still not showing this option on front.
We also tried a custom script for saving the product data manually. Still it didn't show on front.
But when we open the product and click on save then and only then it works, but we can't use this manual method because there are thousands of products. So please suggest a good solution for this issue.
Find image below for reference:
In your custom script, did you set the store to admin?
Mage::app()->setCurrentStore(Mage_Core_Model_App::ADMIN_STORE_ID);
