Magento CMS: Configurable Products - > Images

After research I have come to the conclusion that, despite the power of magento, there are a few problems with the cms. One of these is the ability to display a thumbnail instead of the options dropdown for configurable products on the view page and update the main image within the media.phtml on click. I see many extensions out there for swatches but there should be an easy way to display the thumbnails of each simple product within the configurable. I have tried the magento wiki walkthroughs but all seem to be out of date. Any feedback or direction would be great! thanks guys! If there is anymore information you need, let me know and I will provide it.

I don't think there is any easy way short of using an existing extension. And, I for one, find it much less expensive to use a good extension than go about modifying code that I'll need to maintain later.

I'm happy with the Amasty Image Based Dynamic Configurable Products extension that I believe will do what you want. There may be many options. This is just the one I go to first.
