I’m setting up magento and I really need the color switcher, I’m not a programmer. The link for the screencast is no longer available, can you please make it available?! Does it work with version 1.5.1.0?!
I really apreciate your help on this.

For sure, if you can’t program then you have few options.

Temgra’s extension looks great but the main issue I have with it is that it loads each image via Ajax, which mean’s that when you click on a thumbnail there is a delay until the image has loaded (for me it was around 5 seconds).

People just don’t wait that long.

This is all fine, but since I’m not a programmer,I found one for myself here http://www.magentocommerce.com/magento-connect/filter/tag/color%20swatch/

This lets you change the image depending on your selection in drop-down.

Ideally, it also needs to do the opposite, i.e. change the selection in the drop-down when you select a thumbnail image.

Thank you all,

I have one Q:

You all know that Colors or Size Attribute consider as product and have SKU so you should have quantity in the stock: example:
T-shirt Large Q 200
T-shirt Medium Q 200
T-shirt Small Q 200
when any of these out of stcok the whole value will disappear from the dropdown menu, how can we write near it (out of stock)

not working with magento 1.3.2.4 version

Hello all,
I finally got this to work following the instructions… but the problem I’m running into is when I set a different price for the different colors, the photo doesn’t show anymore. It seems like since the photo swap is related to the name, when you increase the price through the custom options it adds the price to the end of the tag name and the code can’t find a photo related to it.

Have any of you ran into this issue, any solutions?

Thanks, Juan.
