Product images default

Hi
Is it possible to all images for characteristics show when a customer lands on the product page but then select a characteristic and have only that image show

eg. 1. Product can be "red" "green or "blue and all three images show on product page.
2. Customer selects a color and the image for that color shows as the main image.

It seems when I set an image to a characteristic it shows only that image (or images) but I want my customers to see all choices then only their selected one once chosen, can I set it up so all images show until a selection for color is made?
How do I do this?

Thanks

Hi,

There is no option to do that since when you go on a product page, there is already the default variant selected so you want to display the image of that variant.
The only solution would be to create a default variant which would have no quantity and which would have all the images of the all the variants in it and in that case they would all display on the product page before you change the current variant and you would then see only the image of the current variant.

Thanks I did actually try this but when I set the quantity to zero it showed on the product page as "out of stock" is there a way to stop this showing?

Hi,

Regarding the "out of stock" message you can for example hide it by editing your translation file through "Hikashop->System->Configuration->Language->'YOUR TRANSLATION FILE'" and by changing this line : by this line : Hope this will help you a little.
