show images to related sku

Question

I am using magento v1.9.2 facing a issue, and also looking for idea how to achieve this.

I have product which say 'shirt' in 4 colors and each color have some variation images. I sucessfully done the configure products but facing two issues.

1. When I select the color let suppose green and then I select size, the big/main image change to default image(i.e black), but if I select size first and then color, then the main images show the selected one(i.e Green)

2. after click buy now, the cart shows black color instead of which I selected. but its shows selected sku in order tab in admin section.

Also I am looking for some reference, if I have some variation of each product like say green. then how can I show the images only related to green.

Should I create group product?

Any suggestions always welcome..

Answer 1

Solution for your second query.

"after click buy now, the cart shows black color instead of which I selected. but its shows selected sku in order tab in admin section."

Go to Admin panel System >> Configuration >> Sales >> Checkout >>Shopping Cart

change "Configurable Product Image" Option and select "Product Thumbnail Itself" and save.
