change product image with drop down menu

V1.54 - new install
Responsive all business template

I have had a look around but have not seen an add-on where changing the choice in a drop down menu changes the product image.

Something like this:
http://www.jaspaljandu.com/gallery/photo/frame/?photo_ID=126&gallery_Name=Europe&gallery_ID=2

I have had a look at several possibilities but there are no demos and I have no wish to install something not suitable.

Does anyone have an idea?

Thanks.

I haven't tried it, but it seems that Stock By Attributes as modified by potteryhouse offers some form of it, but as far as the plugins, perhaps you could do a little homework by reviewing the applicable thread for sites of people that have indicated that they have installed the software and maybe see the operation... Setup a demo site for yourself and try the software... Or wait until someone responds with something that suits your interest

Re: change product image with drop down menu

Generally speaking the dropdowns are populated by:

includes/modules/YOUR_TEMPLATE/attributes.php

If the file does not exist in the template active for your site (YOUR_TEMPLATE used as an example) then the file used is includes/modules/attributes.php. Modification should be made after copying it to your template directory as an override file and then the override file should be modified.

Re: change product image with drop down menu

Thanks, but way over my head. I think I will give this a miss.
