I want to create a nicely crafted featured product slideshow on the homepage. And for that, I want to pick a single unique images of that product. Is it possible get that specific product images based on the label to be shown on the featured product slideshow on the homepage? Or is there any other better way to do that (getting a specific email with certain identifier)?
thanks before :)

We are planning development of a jewellery design tool for a magento site.
Something like gem vara has.We are looking towards some pointers as to what will be the best approach. We can use configurable products but the problem is with product images. For example, a pendant can have 10-12 different kind of stones and we want to give user instant view of his/her selections.
For example, if user selects a blue stone, we would like the stones on the pendant to be replaced and blue color stones loaded.
There are two challenges -
1. If we create all images, the combinations would cross 200K images per product.
2. If we try to merge two images, and replace only the stones on selection, how we will define their position for each product ?
Magento 1.9.1.0 new feature is introduced that is "Configurable Swatches".
you can set multiple images if you set configurable products in magento. you can also set diffetent images for all products. customers can select different images in product listing page and product detail page. you can refer this link for more detail.

I'm building configurable products on my Magento site (a simple way of showing each of our textiles with the swatches of the different colors of the same item under the main product image) and I have associated simple products for each individual color.
I don't seem to be able to obtain the desired behavior from the site and I'm writing to ask if you have a suggestion that might solve my problem.
At the moment I experience this behavior: when filtering products through color-level attributes I get both the simple and configurable products in my result set. Once I do that if I click on a simple product I find myself the simple product detail page, which doesn't show the box with the other color swatches.. while I would like every product detail page to show the other colors of the same item.
The intended usage is very basic really but I can't figure out if Magento can achieve that on its own or if it will require extra code; what I need is:
1) all product detail pages to show all the color swatches
2) the result list when filtering by the color attribute (for example "whites") should show the correct color images of the individual colors, without duplicates (and not the main image for that product, which would probably be in the wrong color)
Do you have a suggestion of maybe know of a plugin to achieve this?
Thanks a lot,
Sergio
Sergio,
There are two features in particular that might help you solve your problem.
First:
Click to expand the Shopping Cart section. Then, set Configurable Product Image to one
of the following:
l Product Thumbnail Itself
l Parent Product Thumbnail
Second:
To prevent the associated products from being listed individually in the catalog, set Visibility to “Not Visible Individually.” Or in your case, you may decide to do it the other way around.
Please be aware that I was not able to get this feature to work myself.
Hi I need to create buy one get one free discount in shopping cart price rule..It is working fine but I want to have Stickers or Labels for the users to know the offer.How to do it??
I don't really understand what you're asking.
If you've made the rules in the CMS admin, then it's down to you to show on the front end how you want to visually display these offers isn't it?
You'll need to create the images, and then place them in your HTML markup
If you edit a product and browse to the media gallery, you will notice that each type of image (Base, small, thumbnail) is a radio button. Furthermore, if you create your own product attribute and assign it to the product, it too is a radio button.
The intended functionality I would like is to upload many images and assign it to that attribute. I am creating a gallery on product view pages, and each product has an arbitrary amount of images.
I would like to know if there is an easy way to do it, and if not, what the best solution would be. I am running Magento 1.6.0 for this project.
If you upload images and do not assign them as base/small/thumb, then Magento will automatically create an image gallery for you on the product page. you could also extend the catalog/product/list.phtml to display a gallery on the category and search results listing if you wanted.
So, AFAIK, there's no need for you to change the application functionality in the way that you describe.
I would like to have a small number of pages on my site that have some text, and then an associated group of products eg, here is a picture of a nice kitchen, the things we sell that are included in this picture are below. I would like people to be able to click on the product and be taken to that product's page AND I plan to implement functionality that would allow you to add all of the products directly to the basket.
Caveat: All of my main product pages are of Configurable Products, and I would like to "Feature" certain Simple Products on the above pages, eg: this is a picture of a kitchen, we are using a blue lamp. This links directly to the "Lamp" page, but if you add this to basket, you'll get a blue lamp.
I have created the pages as Magento CMS pages and had created a specific inactive category of products for each page. This doesn't work because it links directly to the product in the inactive category, and not the actual category, eg: clicking wants to take you to /kitchinA/lampA.html instead of /lamps/lampA.html
What is the best way for me to include multiple groups of "featured" products, on different pages?
How about using related products?
