Question

My problem:

I need to retrieve the main product image from a cut down product object which is supplied by the class: Mage_Bundle_Model_Resource_Price_Index

My code demonstrating the issue:

$_product = $this->getProduct();
$_options = Mage::helper('core')->decorateArray($this->getOptions());

foreach($_options as $_option):
    $_selections = $_option->getSelections();

    foreach ($_option->getSelections() as $tmpsel) {
        var_dump($tmpsel->getImageUrl());
    }

Which returns my placeholder image:

http://dev.dev/media/catalog/product/cache/7/image/265x/0dc2d03fe217f8c83829496872af24a0/placeholder/default/logo_3.jpg

My horrible and hacky work around:

In order to get correct image Url, I have resorted to loading a completely new product object, which is terribly inefficient.

foreach ($_option->getSelections() as $tmpsel) {
    $product = Mage::getModel("catalog/product")->load($tmpsel->getId());
    $image = Mage::helper('catalog/image')->init($product, 'image');        
    var_dump($image."");
}

This returns correctly:
http://dev.dev/media/catalog/product/cache/7/image/0dc2d03fe217f8c83829496872af24a0/M/P/MP1428219-107-Main.jpg

What I want to do:

I want to be able to use the catalog/image helper with the selection ($tmpsel), but when I try I end up getting the placeholder image again.

foreach ($_option->getSelections() as $tmpsel) {
    $image = Mage::helper('catalog/image')->init($tmpsel, 'image');      
    var_dump($image."");
}

Extra Info:

Anything I think of that could help I will add here

Cut down product object includes some reference to image

  'small_image' => string '/M/P/MP1428219-107-Main.jpg'
  'thumbnail' => string '/M/P/MP1428219-107-Main.jpg' 

Description of getSelection()

In: ./app/code/core/Mage/Bundle/Model/Resource/Price/Index.php

* Retrieve bundle options with selections and prices by product

The function uses low level SQL to generate the collection, so I can always extend it to add options if needed, not sure which options though.

Thank you for reading, hope someone can give me a good way of doing this, will keep updated.

Answer 1

Init() method require a product object

init(Mage_Catalog_Model_Product $product, $attributeName, $imageFile=null)

Try

<?php echo $this->helper('catalog/image')->init($tmpsel, 'small_image')->resize(40,40); ?>

You do not have ‘image’ but you do have ‘small_image’ attribute
