Calling Associated product images in configurable product

Question

Hi i'm using this magento wiki to Change Product Image on View Page to Associated Product's Image.

Now when i select any attribute only base image gets changed. All other multiple images remains the same original product's one.

Is there any way to change original image list to associated product images.

Answer 1

Please use the custom code to get the images from configurable product having associated product

 $_products = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->getCollection()
    ->addAttributeToFilter('type_id','configurable')
    ->getData(); // Get all the configurable product 

    $childProducts= array();
    foreach ($_products as $_product){
    $id = $_product['entity_id'];
    $childProducts[$id] = Mage::getModel('catalog/product_type_configurable')->getChildrenIds($id); // get the Id of configurable product
    }
   $new_arr= array();
        foreach($childProducts as $childProduct){
        foreach($childProduct as $pro){
        foreach($pro as $prods){
    $product_data = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load($prods)
    ->getData(); // Get the collection of associated product from the configurable product
    ?> Product Name[<?php echo $product_data['sku']; ?>] :=  <?php echo $product_data['image'].'</br>'; // Here you got the all information of associated product.
    }
  }

} 

Hope this will help you Thankyou.
