Any reason variants don't have images by default?

[Joshua Wedekind]

Hello,

Is there a reason why variants don't have an image tab in the dashboard by default? Will I blow anything up if I start adding images to variant products?

See:

Joshua,

No, it shouldn't blow anything up. we just don't have any logic of showing the variant product images on the parent product detail page. I think there's work towards that in a pending PR though. Didn't get a chance to look at it though. Please let us know how you get on!

Regards,

Maik

Very good. I will probably make a simple jQuery widget that uses the variant images. When it's done, I'll post back.

Here's my PR: https://github.com/django-oscar/django-oscar/pull/1643

The way that it works is you associate all of the images with the parent, and then you create M2M links between the parent images and the variants.

I think this is a common enough use case that it should be included in Oscar in some form or another.
