I have created Color and size attribute with type drop-down in configurable Attribute Set. Also I have added many color and Size to that attribute.
I have created configurable Set with the Configurable Product type. then Select both drop-down. Then I put name, SKU, Images, price, inventory keep as In stock. And assign the product to category. Also set Website. After that I create associate products.
I am not able to see the configurable products on frontend.
//Please reconfirm following points for configurable and associate simple products. .
1.Enable,Visibility,Stock,Qty
2.Reindexing and Clear cache.

I have requirement to display discount percentage,rating on navigation filler in magneto.
please give any idea or suggestion for this.
or please share link if have free magneto extension.
my requirement is like below image
Create an attribute discount of type dropdown. use the attribute in layred navigation filterable with results.
Create two options for the attribute 0-50& 50 & above.
And assign to relevant attribute set. And select the range on which particular products fall on editing/adding products.
My configurable products do not show up. Here is how I set up The configurable product:
1) Created two attributes that are global, dropdown with
"Apply to Configurable Product" and "Use to Create Configurable Product"="Yes".
2) Added these two attributes to an attribute set.
3) Create a new configurable product based on this attribute set.
4) Select both attributes in my attribute set.
5) Add a default price to the configurable attribute, and set manage stock to "No".
6) Under Associated Product: I filled out all fields with visibility = "Not Visible Individually" and "Stock"="in stock".
7) I am also using the "Parent Product Thumbnail" for each associated product.
At this point, I am expecting:
1) As each associated products is created, it appears in the list at the bottom of the admin page. There should be one associated product at the bottom of the page, but there is not.
2) In the front end, I am expecting my configurable product to show up but I cannot see it in the navigational filters. I am expecting that the navigational filters reflect information for the associated products.
3) I am expecting that the product listing and the product page shows options for product variation along with images from the parent product. However I cannot get anything to show up.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you!
I think you have forgot to choose the attribute in simple product which are used as super attribute configurable product.
For example an super attribute "color" is used for configurable product and in the simple product you have not choose any "color" attribute.
After that in configurable product, associate the same simple product.
I am trying to import a list of products which contain both simple and configurable products.
Having read the manual and other resources, I am still very confused on a few aspects on the CSV file.
What I have is various attributes such as colour, size, style, search colour, scent, pack qty and wesco type.
I have a few questions to clarify the model of the CSV I am to generate:
1) I read that you need to setup the attributes beforehand in Magento - for this I need to set up a attribute value as I have set the attribute to 'values required - yes'.
So for example 'Colour - values required yes' now when I try and save this it wants me to set up an actual colour. Can I just use the value 'none' and let Magmi handle the actual attributes (the real colour values)? Or do I need to go through all the possible options and input them into Magento manually (blue, yellow, green ...)?
2) Having looked at examples on the internet, do I set my CSV like this:
sku, type, colour, size, style, search, colour, scent, pack qty, wesco type, configurable_attributes
slave, simple, blue, , , , , , , , blue
master, configurable, , , , , , , , , colour
OR
sku, type, configurable_attributes
slave, simple, blue
master, configurable, colour
3) Is it possible for me to do all the configurable products first like in question 2. Then after do another import for just the standalone simple products. As you can see I am trying to automatically link the products.
If you require any clarification, please feel free to ask me to be more precise with any of the questions.
4) Regarding prices for simple and configurable products, can I use the price field and set £0.00 for a configurable product and the actual price on each simple product?
1) Can I just use the value 'none' and let Magmi handle the actual attributes (the real colour values)? Or do I need to go through all the possible options and input them into Magento manually (blue, yellow, green ...)?
Magmi will create the attribute options for you, just not the attributes themselves. So you will need to create the Colour attribute, but you do not have to input each option such as black, red, green etc.
2) Having looked at examples on the internet, do I set my CSV like this:
If you read the CSV Datasource documentation, it will tell you that the correct format for the attribute columns is the actual attribute code. You can find the Attribute Code for an attribute under Catalog > Attributes > Manage Attributes in the Magento admin.
Also, make sure you are including the required columns for Magmi. These required columns can again be found on the Import new products documentation page.
The required columns for Magmi 0.7.17+ are:
"attribute_set","type","sku"
So to properly import configurable Colour products, your CSV should also follow the documentation for the Configurable Item Processor.
"attribute_set","type","sku","colour","configurable_attributes","simple_skus"
"Colour","simple","mysimpleproduct","Red","colour",""
"Colour","configurable","myconfigproduct","","colour","mysimpleproduct"
Then be sure to enable the Configurable Item processor plugin in Magmi and set the Perform simples/configurable link option for the plugin to Yes.
3) Is it possible for me to do all the configurable products first like in question 2. Then after do another import for just the standalone simple products. As you can see I am trying to automatically link the products.
Yes, you can associate simple products to an already created configurable product at a later time, however you MUST include the configurable product in your import CSV to associate skus to it. The simple_skus column should contain a comma separated list of simple product skus that you want assigned to a configurable product. Any skus not listed in the simple_skus column upon import will be disassociated with the configurable product.
4) Regarding prices for simple and configurable products, can I use the price field and set £0.00 for a configurable product and the actual price on each simple product?
No. Magento by default uses the Base Price for the configurable product as the pricing for all associated simple products. Simple product prices are not actually used when adding to the cart, it's the configurable parent product and based on the super attribute pricing, the price changes.
To have Magento use the simple product prices based on the attribute combination selected, you will need to install a 3rd party extension. I personally use and recommend the Simple Configurable Products extension that will do just that.
I created a configurable product and went to the associated products tab and used the quick create product feature to create a bunch of products based on my configurations. However non of these products appear in the list of associated products.
I noticed that the attributes I created don't even show up on the edit product page, on either the simple, or the configurable product.
I started first by creating 3 new attributes for a configurable product I want to add, I setup the options for each one and created a new attribute set based on default that included the new attributes I created.
When I create a new simple product or configurable product, you cannot see the attributes I have created. I have tried with the attributes in the general tab as well as on their own tab. But they are never visible when you try to edit the product.
I'm suspecting the reason I can't associate the products is due to this strange problem
I'm using 1.4.2

It took a while but finally figured it out. When I created my attributes, in Attribute Properties where it says "Apply To:" I had only assigned it to configurable products, but you must also assign to simple products as well. (or just apply to all)
Keep in mind you will have to recreate your original configurable product before it will work.
Assuming you have created attributes with options and attribute set.
Can you please createConfigurable product again
Manage products -> Add Product select your default attribute set and Configurable product option.
The next window will be to choose the attributes that you have have created.
Lets say that there are three attributes color, fragrance, and volume as three different attributes and you pick fragrance here to associate the Configurables to the simples which you will be creating.
After you successfully created the Configurable product.
Create simple products based on the same attribute set default
you must be able to see all the attributes you created(color, fragrance, and volume).
Please pick any option for the Fragrance attribute.
Go to the Manage Products ->select to edit the Configurable product you have just created.
Go to the "Associated Products" tab and select "Any" from the drop down on the extreme left.
You must be able to see the Simple which you have created now
you must also be able to see the parent-child linking attribute "fragrance" present above the grid of products.
Make sure the simple is in "In stock" before you see whether they appear in front end.
Its not necessary for the attribute to appear in the Configurable product edit page.
Follow the above steps, hope it will guide you.
Please let me know if you unable to follow any of the above steps.
You can also read the below link, which is very useful to create a config product.

Cheers
I had the same issue.
A possible workaround is to add the attributes in the single products and after they become available through the configurable product at "Apply To:".
