Magento – Magento group prices for simple products associated with configurable products

configurable-productgroupmagento-1.8pricesimple-product

I would like to know if it's possible in magento 1.8.0 to show different group prices for a simple product that is part of a configurable product.

I have a configurable product (T-shirt) and i have 5 simple products (for 5 different colors) that are associated with the configurable product.

When i create group prices for the configurable product they do show on the frontend.

But how do i proceed if, for example, the red t-shirt costs more than the blue one?

In the admin panel I can save different group prices for each simple product, but they don't show up on the website.

Can anybody point me in the right direction?

Group price will be applied across the board, however, you can still supply an over-ride on the associated products tab.

Let's say, for example, you set the grouped price for General to $10.00. You can see in the screenshot below that I have specified a fixed increase of $5.00 for the Blue t-shirt option. Thus, the price on the frontend would be $10.00 but if you select the Blue option, it will be $15.00.

That satisfy your needs?

Configurable Product – Add One Associated Product to Multiple Configurable Products

So what you need is the way to add the simples to the configurable?

// $newids is of form:
$newids = array($id => 1, $id2 => 1);
// $configurableProduct = Mage::getModel('catalog/product);

Mage::getResourceModel('catalog/product_type_configurable')
  ->saveProducts($configurableProduct, array_keys($newids));

Then you can hook into saving of a product. Before save you check wether an ID is given, if not, add a flag. In after_save you check for the flag, if it is set, you load loop over all configurable products and add the new simple one.

Magento – Magento use simple product images for configurable products

As already stated by Amasty in the comments, this feature is called "color swatches" and there are many extensions out there which offer this functionality - though most of them are not for free:

The guys at Inchoo also wrote an article which explains how to implement it yourself.

You should definitely have a look at the extension Easylife_Switcher, which is for free and developed by the one and only Marius.
