How to show configurable product with preselected options if requested url is for simple product?
For example:
Simple product #1 has:
Color: Red
URL: /simple-red.html
Simple product #2 has:
Color: Green
URL: /simple-green.html
Configurable product has:
URL: /config.html
If user visits /simple-red.html
it should be loaded configurable product with pre-selected option Color: Red
If user visits /simple-green.html
it should be loaded configurable product with pre-selected option Color: Green
Successfully solved the problem:
Extended ProductController
, to replace product id of simple product by product id of parent configurable product. Used SO Answer:
Magento Catalog ProductController rewrite
Code in custom ProductController
:
...
$productId = (int) $this->getRequest()->getParam('id');
// Get parent configurable product
$_product = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load($productId);
if ($_product->getTypeId() == "simple") {
$parentIds = Mage::getModel('catalog/product_type_configurable')->getParentIdsByChild($_product->getId());
// If parent exists
if (isset($parentIds[0])) {
$productId = $parentIds[0];
}
}
...
