product option not showing image

Hi Nicolas,

I added a product option (mounting option) to my product, but I don't know how to show the imgage of that option?
this is the link:
www.michelpouliwebshops.nl/webshops/inde.../category_pathway-16

the option is called: "Keuze bevestigingsset"

I am having this problem as well. When I choose an option the main product image dissapears but the image I put in the manage variants doesn't show. If you hover over where it should be and click it displays in the popup box, but it doesn't show on the product page.

Iḿ struggeling with this too,
my question is: do images in options work in Hikashop buisiness?

A possible (not too sophisticated) solution might be like this:
why not make a hikshopmodule of products in a productcategory filled with options,
and show it (that categorie-module) on the product page of your choice.
It will be possible to show picture, name and add-to-cart button. (maybe an image-popup too?)

This way customers at least see what the products options are at once, and order it alongside the product.
The only problem is that the options amount will not be charged on the product page(?) But it will be on the cart.

I will go and have a look, and will let you know what problems i find while doing this.

a little addition to my ealier suggestion: If you use related articles and my 'solution'
the option will appear below the related articles.

To avoid that, I put the options in the product-description like this:
If you do not use the free plugin 'load module in article' or something simular, install it.
you will now be able to load any (hikashop)module, including images etc. into your product description.

Easy if you got the same options for a lot of products.
There will be a few downsides compared to Hikashop options, but I like this better than
the standard product-options,

In my case I use 4 kinds of options per article.
To save space I included the 4 option-modules in 1 custum HTML module (standard Joomla) in an accordion-styled plugin (plant accordion, also free)
To load my 4 custom options in a productdescription is to add this code: {module [169]} **EDIT: 169 is the number of my custum html-module.**


Ordering will not be as sophisticated as with Hikashop's product options. But it certainly will show the options images.

Would it be possible to add a feature like this (with the product grouping) in a next version of Hikashop?
all th best, Roy
