How to get "ALL" associated products images?

Question

In grouped.phtml, i'd like to show all simple products image (not only thumbnail, small, basic images but also other images)

So my coded looks like

<?php $collection = $this->getProduct()->getMediaGalleryImages();
foreach ($collection as $_image): ?>
<img src="<?php echo $this->helper('catalog/image')->init($this->getProduct(), 'image', $_image->getFile())->resize(300); ?>" width="300" height="300" alt="<?php echo $this->escapeHtml($_image->getLabel()) ?>" />
<?php endforeach;?>

But these images show "group product images" not "associated products images".

Please help me.

Answer 1

<?php
$_product=$this->getProduct();
$grouped_product_images=array();
if ($_product->getTypeId() == 'grouped'){
    $associatedProducts = $_product->getTypeInstance(true)->getAssociatedProducts($_product);
    foreach ($associatedProducts as $_item):
        $name=$_item->name;
        $image=strval(Mage::helper('catalog/image')
            ->init($_item, 'image', NULL)
            ->resize(265, 265));
        $image_thumb=strval(Mage::helper('catalog/image')
            ->init($_item, 'image', NULL)
            ->resize(56, 56));
        $image_large=strval(Mage::helper('catalog/image')
            ->init($_item, 'image', NULL)
            ->resize(600, 600));
        array_push($grouped_product_images,array($name,$image,$image_thumb,$image_large));
    endforeach;
}
?>

Hope it will help. Thanks :)

getImage() function only able to give you base image of a product.

If want to get all images of product then you should to call media gallery.

<?php 
    $mediaGallery = $product->getMediaGalleryImages();
    /* get Image one by  using loop*/
    foreach ($mediaGallery as $image) {
        echo ($image->getUrl());
    $productMediaConfig->getMediaUrl($image->getUrl());
    } 
?>
