I am so stuck trying to find an answer for this and I can't find it anywhere. Yet I have seen it done online. Basically all I want to do is have images show instead of the text.
Available finishes: White, Antique, Cinnamon
And instead of the text, they can select an image representing each color.
Example: http://www.amazon.com/Sundesa-BB28-MC01-BlenderBottle%C2%AE-Classic-28-ounce/dp/B0018G4ZEW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1363033335&sr=8-1&keywords=blender+bottle
I DO NOT need the image to change as you select a color. I just need the color images to show...
You've probably found the answer by now, but are you looking for something like this? It worked well for us. http://docs.shopify.com/manual/configuration/store-customization/add-color-swatches-to-your-products
Inside the theme, shopify usually create a form with HTML tag option. Using liquid (Shopify language you use on the front end) you may add HTML tag img (image). You could load the own product image (probably you need to set the order properly matching variants with images). Another option is to load an image inside the theme assets, but you would have to upload it one by one. Hope it may give any idea...

I'm trying to display only the images of the colour variant I have selected on the product page. They're currently being pulled in by their Img Alt text, which is in the product list CSV.
I would to hide the thumbnails of the other colours when they're not selected, and switch to them when they are, including replacing the larger featured image.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

From a data standpoint, there is unfortunately no way to do this in vanilla shopify (without an app or using metafields to set up variant images).
The reason for this is that variants only allow one featured image in the data structure. For this reason, you'll likely need to go the app route.
An alternate "hacky" approach would be to add slugs to the end of your image names ('-maroon', '-black', '-all') and then use javascript to match up the images to the currently active variant. This would always be a bit risky and require work when uploading images, though.
Here are some APP, but most of the APPS over Shopify has paid.

Which ways are possible to edit the live preview of the product page in Shopify with Inputboxes next to it?
Let's say the product is a poster, and i want to add a custom text on it.
When typing into the inputbox the text changes in real time on the product.
Can this be implemented in the shopify code with the basic version of shopify?
Or does this necessarily needs an app?
ADDITIONALLY:
Let me go a bit deeper. I have a code that can generate a QR code.
Now i want that the QR code to be previewed in the product. Now position and color of the QR code is different from any product. Would that need an app?
Yes you can to an extent.
First the ground rules:
You can't modify the product from the front-end and update the content or media in the back-end - this would be a huge security hole
The changes applied to the product will be visible only to the user who changed them
The solution is to use Javascript and update the content of the front-end. If you like to store the changes for that specific user you can save them as cookie or localstorage.
If you like to share this change to other people you will need to add a custom parameter in the URL of the page and generate the content from it and share that url.
Each one of these steps will require some custom Javascript that will affect only the user in question, if you like to modify the product in the back-end directly you will need some kind of an app for this.
On my mind it can be done if the dynamic text is applied over product image.
Detailed code would be too long to write here but here are the steps:
Add an input to your product form to add a custom property (https://community.shopify.com/c/Shopify-Design/Product-pages-Get-customization-information-for-products/td-p/616503)
Write a Javascript function to get input value in real time
Use this value to display it in a div in product image container
Position this div in CSS as absolute and style it as you wish
While image container position should be set as relative in CSS

I'am facing an issue regarding the image thumbnails view, here is the sample website (smartphonewidgets.myshopify.com)
When you click on a product variant image, the browser show up the featured image instead of the variant one.
How could I resolve this please ?
If you are looking to select one of your variants when a variant image is clicked, Shopify has some documentation for this along with code snippets - Select Product Variants by Clicking their Image.
Depending on your theme, the code snippets may be cut/paste or you may need to dissect them a bit and adapt them for your needs.
I am struggling to find an ideal solution to change the product image based on the variant selection. I do not see any identifier on the product images using which I could do a cross matching for js change event.
Every theme has this feature, so I guess, there is a pretty good solution to this.
Can you please help me showing the right path?
Thank you.
It depends on the design of the page and what are using.
For example if you plan to show a single image for the variant change you can use the variant image directly.
But if you plan to use a gallery of images there are different approaches. The one I use in most cases is to set an ALT attribute to each image with the name of the color that it's pointing to. Based on those ALT attributes I use some JS logic to filter specific images and show the correct ones.
Other approaches will be to use metafields, tags, linklists etc... A lot of different ways, but each is tied to some JS logic and some bad user experience for the administration since he will be required to switch between different pages and to create different elements in order to tie them to the images.
The final way is to use a separate APP for this.
I'm writing some code that will go into the description box of a Tumblr page, in order to set a small tagline on the left of the header, and a search box of the right side of the same line. I've been trying to use a table with two cells and the width of the page to achieve this. However, it seems that the description box doesn't accept the <table> tag (it appears to work in the preview but not in the actual page).
Is there any other way to achieve inline content, with one justified left and the other right?
It is possible to include HTML elements in your Tumblr description.
There are two ways to achieve this:
Escape any HTML you are adding to the description box. This tool can help.
Modify the themes HTML and take advantage of Variable Transformations. In this scenario the {Description} tag would be replaced with {PlaintextDescription}
Either method should allow you to add HTML elements.
Also, I would take the advice of the comment made above. There is no need to use a table for the layout your trying to achieve.
