Magento - show price range of simple products - magento

Is it possible in Magento to show the price range of simple products as opposed to the price set for the main configurable product.
For example, say we have a t shirt, configurable by size and each with a different price. It doesnt make sense to show a fixed price on the catalog page does it?
I would expect to see something similar to Prices from £3.99.
Does anyone know if this is possible without any custom modification.

I know, it is NOT good solution but worth to try.
Create simple products of each t-shirt based size then group this products like "Polo T-Shirt". Users will see only "Polo T-Shirt" but they can choose what they want from drop-down list.

Why does Magento show the configurable products and its associated simple products as well?

On my online store, we sell jeans. The configurable products are the different types of jeans, and the associated simple products are the sizes for each (6,8,10,12,14). When i search for a product or just scroll on the feed it doesnt only show the configurable products and when i click it you can choose the size, but the individual simple products show up too eg:
Skinny Jeans
Skinny Jeans-6
Skinny Jeans-8 etc. How do i fix this?
For your simple products, you can set its Visibility. You can change it under
Product Information > General > Visibility > Not Visible Individually
This way they won't appear on front-end while still being associated with your configurable product.

Price in Cart is not correct Magento 1.8

Today I've run into a new problem and can´t find a solution.
I've added some simple products and configurable products via MagMI. Everything is fine. Products are shown in the front-end as I want it. But following happens:
simple product 1 has a price of 49€, simple product 2 has a price of 90€.
Both are part of the same configurable product which has a price of 49€. Now, in cart, the single-price of both simples is 49€. (If I print out $_item->getSku() I get the right skus of the simple products, so I think, the products in cart are the correct ones)
How can I fix this?
It would be also helpful if someone could tell me where the subtotal is built exactly - I can't find this.
I would be thankful for all help or hints.
If the simple products are not visible individually then the price shown will be the price of the configurable product. The pricing variations on the associated single products are managed in the Associated Products tab of the configurable item.
Pricing is managed here as a plus/minus relative to the price of the main configurable.

Set associated product category different from configurable product

I have a configurable product which has a number of associated products, each of these is a simple product and determines the size of the product.
I want to add a number of the simple products to a new category "Sale", but this doesn't work unless I set the main configurable product as Sale too. But if I do that then all the sizes appears in the Sale category.
How can I make only specific sizes appear in the new Sale category?
I guess you're trying to promote those simple products in a special way, right? Maybe an product attribute would suit your need better.
However, if you have configured your simple products to not appear as single products in catalog, they will not do this of course. If you set your configurable products to the new category Sale it doesn't matter what the simple products have been assigned to, they will always appear.
What might help you, is to copy your configurable product, attach that one to Sale an associate only the simple products that should appear under sale.

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.

Magento grouped product options

I want to show a set of products as a table inside one product with these attributes.
Dimensions Width x Gusset x Height Code Price/Case Bags/Case Weight
So i chosen grouped product option but it does not match the requirement. How can i design a table like format from the grouped product option with radio button to choose only one product from it. So using grouped product or configurable product or by any way how can i achieve this.
Here am attaching the screen-shot which i actually wanted
I can think of two ways to represent this in code. If the dimensions tend to be from a limited set of choices, you could use a configurable product to represent this choice, simply displaying all possible sub-products in the table. This would let you reuse the existing catalog product page with a little retrofitting.
If they do not fit well, you could place the items in a category hidden from the public categories and loop through each of the products in the category to display the table. This would require more work to tie back to putting into the cart, etc.
Importantly, it looks like each of your options has an entirely uncorrelated price, so it seems to me that you need to have a simple product underpinning these options at some point. (I'm sure you could get more clever, I'm just not sure that's a good idea.)
You can easily solve this with a plugin for Magento. There is a plugin here which will do exactly what you want. It will display product options in a grid: http://www.magemechanics.com/product-grid-options.html
