I am guessing this question gets asked often, yet my forum searches yielded no answers. I must be using the wrong terms.
How about the attribute image change in the cart once the item is selected? My client sells jewelery and there are different finishes. If the primary image is silver plated, but they select the gold plated (which the image shows via the attibutes image option just nice) why cannot the image in the cart show the gold attribute image instead of the default silver plated image. Its confusing to visitors when the attibute totally changes the look of the product, yet the image does not update to show the selection.
There were a few plugins that look like they are a few years old, but is there anything new I an implement that will change the image if an attrbute with image is selected? If not after selection, at least after its added to the cart? If someone selects a gold jewelery it would be nice to show a gold item in the image.
This is not to bad-mouth Zen Cart, I love Zen Cart and think you are by far the best. But several other carts have image updates by attributes so why is this not yet built into Zen Cart? Its the way modern stores are displaying so you would think the best software would offer this. Perhaps it has to do with the complexity of the cart platform I don't know. Just wondering.
