Magento Variation Configurable Module

Tag: ,

Date: 23 September 2011 Author: Alex

Believe many of web developers may experience the problem with the default Magento Variations options. It's been quite confusing for some of first-time customer to understand the price-range.
Features:

1.   Special Prices
2.   Tier Prices
3.    Custom Options
4.   Catalog Price Rules
5.   Dynamic update of product image/description/name to match the matching associated products

    The Problem with Default Variation Product on configurable products
    1. Price at the default option you set as first time. No Price from Label whatsoever, quite confusing for people who don't know the system well.
    2. The option variation price is based on the default price then do (plus and minus) the extra amount. Well, may it's not a best practice.

    Solution

    For Helping you get around this problem, Here is a quite user open-source module that may helps you called: Simple Configurable Products module from Organicinternet. github: https://github.com/organicinternet/magento-configurable-simple

    Install with github

    If you have experience with github, you can simply git clone it.

    Install with Magneto Connect  

    You can install it using magento package control manager : magento connect.
    If you using latest Magento, be aware to use the Magento Connect Version 2.0 to generate the extension key.

    Problem: Magento Connection Error try again later

    "magento Connection Error try again later." if you getting this error in Magento Connect Version 2.0, you need to remove the http:// part from default extension code :
    eg: http://connect20.magentocommerce.com/community/OrganicInternet_SimpleConfigurableProducts


    to  connect20.magentocommerce.com/community/OrganicInternet_SimpleConfigurableProducts
    Then install it!

    After the installation, you will be able to see  the SCP in the configuration part.

    Problem: 404 error Page Not found.

    If you getting 404 Error when you are trying to open the SCP tab, you need to do the following things.
    1.  Go to Index Manager  =>Select all options  and then re-index.
    2. Go to Cache Manager => flush the cache.

    Thats It

    Then you should be sweet to go!
