How to remove information in Magento catalog, but only for specific product type - magento

I am wondering how can I delete this two divs -
in Magento catalog, but only for specific product type. In short, I would like to have product type which would appear in catalog only with product-image and product-name, without - price, Out of stock, Add to Wishlist, Add to Compare.

It's possible to load different layout updates depending on loaded product type. You can see an example of how it's done in Magento for configurable products here: https://github.com/LokeyCoding/magento-mirror/blob/magento-1.7/app/design/frontend/base/default/layout/catalog.xml#L275-L287
It's possible because view action of product controller makes this to be executed: https://github.com/LokeyCoding/magento-mirror/blob/magento-1.7/app/code/core/Mage/Catalog/Helper/Product/View.php#L59-L60

You can change the design for any product from the admin.
You need to create a separate theme with a different product page which will have only the attributes you would like.
Then you can select the design for that specific product. Please see the screenshot, how you can change design for any product

Preselect configurable product options based on simple product

This is a very similar question to this:
Preselect configurable product options by simple product URL
But the important part of the answer just points to a dead link.
There are a million pages that explain how to get the configurable product from the simple product, but not the configurable product with the options set to what would produce the simple product.
I need this for a couple areas. First, there's a section of the site that will programatically add the product to the cart based on SKU. It finds the simple product via SKU, and I can get its parent product, but I can't add that to the cart with the options that will point it to the simple product.
Secondly, I need the link that's generated for the simple product to show the page for it's configurable product, with the appropriate options selected since we're generating links for an external service that gets the links to all the simple product pages which are currently disabled.
I've looked everywhere but can't find how to get the configurable product options selected.

make configurable product options independent on product view page --Magento

I am working on a Magento project and I need to know if there is a way to make a product's options independent to each other or unrequired. I need to use one of several at a time (I have 6 dropdowns).
I have tried add to cart by query string but all dropdown values were still required. I also tried to make all the options default, then modify the selected options in the observer, but I did not meet with success. See the screenshot below for more details.
Any help will be appreciated

Configurable Products in Magneto are only parent products of Simple Products. Whatever you have as an attribute of a Configurable - a Simple Product has to be present for each. To do this out of the box in Magento, you should be looking into setting up a Simple Product with Custom Options.

Magento cant associate simple to configurable product

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:".

Associated Product not showing the different price

I have just added a product and everything works fine. The product is a top with different attributes: size and color.
However I want to have reduced price on one of the different colors like in a sale, so I went into the associated products section and changed the price. However, whenever I go to the website and click on the color of the reduced price top, it still shows the original price and not the one I just changed.
How can I get it to show the price I changed it to?
Out of the box the only way to do this is via the price offsets for each configurable option under "Super product attributes configuration" as shown in the attached image:
Otherwise, you can use an extension such as Simple Configurable Products http://www.magentocommerce.com/magento-connect/simple-configurable-products.html
Go to system > Index Management and reindex Product Prices data
It sounds like you are using a configurable product with associated simple products. As far as I'm aware Magento only refreshes the product price for bundle product types.
I have seen a lot of people recommending this module.

Different product image per category in Magento

I have a large store with many products showing in multiple categories.
Inside each of these categories the product has a different use, so I would like to show a different image.
I would use a bundle / grouped product however the default simple product has custom options.
Any PHP or set up suggestions would be appreciated.
A clean implementation would be to add a new attribute to the media/gallery functionality (akin to label/sort-order).
Then you would add a drop-down category selector to the grid view on the "Manage Product > Edit Product > Images" tab.
Then from there, you could extend the standard collection for category/search to select your image with corresponding category ID (instead of the default selected thumbnail).
But you certainly are not going to find a 1-liner to pull this off (cleanly).
