Hi,

I've created some products for one product display. Then I've created a »product reference field« for product displays product type. Then I've choosed a different product in each product reference field via the product edit view (dropdown-field). But in every product only appears an additional »to cart«-button for the different product. What should I do to achieve product variations and load a different product image for every product image by choosing with the dropdown-menu?

Hope somebody gives me an answer.

Kind regards,
jepster

Product variations with different images are exactly what you need. There is documentation on how to configure this on DrupalCommerce.org. Check the Administration guide linked from the front page. I don't really get your entire setup from your post, but it seems like perhaps you just need to make your product reference field multivalue and select all the variations in a single node. Does this solve it?

I'm using the Commerce Kickstart installation profile.

OK, finally I've understood it Ryan. But the process is quite intuitive. I don't know how I should explain that process to my clients:
1., You have to create a new content type for each product. Because without that, you cannot put a different picture to each product. If I think of explaining them the content-types and the overhead of this process (in comparsion with other systems) I think of a nightmare.
2., If you click on the edit-tab at a product, you're editing the product display and not the product.
3., If you create the product reference field in the product display content type, you can choose different products, but it works not really. The product image isn't changing - for example.

It's simply way more work to create products, for the shopowner, in drupalcommerce than in other shopsystems like ubercart. It would be a pleasure to help in the improvement of drupalcommerce and learn more about drupalcommerce. I hope that I'm wrong with my observations above. But it is like the shop worked.

Based on your description, I still don't think you have it setup right. I'll try to post a video on http://vimeo.com/channels/commerceguys soon that shows you how I've setup the demo site products like http://demo.commerceguys.com/dc/catalog/coffee-holders/mug. Perhaps you can explain a little more what your variations are?

I have build a list of nodes with images.
All the images have an unique price so i have created only one product, and using product reference in the images node.
when adding to cart the first one is ok and the link in the cart shows the appropiate image node, but when adding the second it allways adds 1 to the first no mather the image node selected.
