configurable-productmagento-1.9
I have one question regarding configurable swatches.
I have purchased theme forest bizzare theme for magento and i transfer all configurable swatch folder in my bizzare theme.
and in product view page and listing page in color and size get configurable swatch but when i click on color in view or listing page products get blank.
can i know what is the issue and i am done wrong in this.
can you guide me in this what should i do to get product swatch correct on click.
If you only have two configurable attributes; go to the configurable product page on the backend > associated products tab > slide the color attribute to the top.
The way configurable works is that every time you change the top attribute resets other attributes to only show the options that are available according to inventory and availability rules that still apply to possible combination of attributes. Since color is the only visual change on the product options moving it to the top will make the cascading affect dependent of the color.
Note that there is another a little more complicated solution, but I only recommend it if this first one doesn't work or if you have more than 2 configurable attributes, as it becomes more complicated to achieve, specially if you are controlling inventory and combinations of product are very different from each other.
If the custom theme is not built upon rwd/default, configurable swatches of Magento will not work with it. Even if it is, it seems to override the product page templates without adding the configurable swatches feature.
You have several options:
There is a free extension that helps you to make it compatible with other themes, you can give it a try: https://github.com/tmhub/catalog-configurable-swatches
Ask theme vendor for support / complain
Use a different solution that's independent of themes. I recommend Easylife Switcher by @Marius: https://github.com/tzyganu/Switcher

The Magento 1.9.1 configurable swatches module only works with the rwd theme and derivations of it.
