Magento – Magento 1.9.1 swatches not display after enabled

ce-1.9.1.0

Currently i just upgrade to magento 1.9.1 and using the guide from

http://www.magentocommerce.com/knowledge-base/entry/ee1141-ce191-configurable-swatches

i have upload 2 png file namely Black and White to [your Magento install dir]/media/wysiwyg/swatches.

But under my webpage, it is still showing me a dropdown box instead of swatches? Is it because of the theme that i use which is not compatible to magento 1.9.1 swatches ?

Under my configurable products, the image i have also label to White and Black. What can be wrong.

Many Thanks

Try to refresh the Swatch Images Cache. It's a new button under System > Cache Management. Also use lowercase only for swatch image file names, like white.png and black.png

I have also found that swatches only work under the RWD package and not the DEFAULT package which comes with Magento. So if you are using a custom theme, it is very likely that the swatches don't work out of the box. Contact your theme developer to update the theme and integrate swatches.

You could run a test by switching to the RWD package temporarily, to check if swatches then work.

Magento – Magento CE 1.9.1 not using cron for sending emails

I've been researching this area of Magento 1.9.1 and from what I can see all new order or order update emails will now be routed through the queue. For example this is the sendNewOrderEmail() function now.

public function sendNewOrderEmail()
    {
        $this->queueNewOrderEmail(true);
        return $this;
    }

And the queueNewOrderEmail() function forces the email into the queue.

To be sure you can add debug in the class Mage_Core_Model_Email_Template send() function to check that it uses the queue. You can also check the queued email table: core_email_queue.

However, based on my research so far - I have not been able to find any other emails that are sent through the queue - for example contact form emails appear to send normally, in the same way they used to. Which does not seem consistent with the release notes:

all Magento e-mails (including order confirmation and transactional) are now queued

I'll post another question on that as I'd like to be sure.

Magento – Magento 1.9.1 swatches don’t swap images

I am working on the same problem, if you go to the rwd folder in both app/skin, copy that over to your theme folder, it will work. what I am fuss about is how many library it need for this to work.
