Hi!
You can try the Rubik Variant Images app. It ensures that only the images corresponding to the selected variant are displayed.
Hope this helps!
Topic summary
Goal: Enable selecting a product variant by clicking its corresponding image in the Shopify Dawn theme (Online Store 2.0).
Context and current behavior:
- Currently, selecting a variant updates the image, but clicking an image does not set the variant (it defaults to a specific option like “1”).
Guidance and limitations:
- Assigning images to variants in the admin links images to variants, but does not make image clicks select variants.
- Implementing image-to-variant selection on Dawn (OS 2.0) is non-trivial; many existing tutorials target “vintage” themes and don’t apply directly.
Suggested approaches:
- UI tweak: switch to a thumbnail image slider (video tutorial referenced) as a base for custom behavior.
- Custom JavaScript is needed to map image clicks to variant selection; hiring a developer or using an app is recommended.
- App option mentioned: Rubik Variant Images (filters gallery to images of the selected variant; may not fully implement image-to-variant selection).
Status:
- No step-by-step solution provided. The request remains open; key need is custom JS or a compatible app for Dawn/OS 2.0.
