Hello everybuddy. Googled everywhere, I found only tons of troubles about child variants but not an usage tutorial :DD
I am on virtuemart 2.0.22c on latest joomla 2.54
I need following behaviour: have some t-shirts , create some color and adding size. On all products ( parent and children ) , I wish to have always all Colors available so customer can change. So when I am on children product red , I see also yellow and vice versa.
1. Created Parent Product
2. Create custom field "Color Variant" with type: Generic Child Variant
3. Saved and created colors Yellow and Red . Gone to respective children and set stock to 1 and 2 respectively.
Now product parent appears, and description is overridden correctly like in :
http://www.modacalcio.it/it/component/virtuemart/3619/3619/product-parent-detail.html?Itemid=0
4- I have a custom field type String, Cart attribute yes : Size . I want to add sizes to children products. So I select in children products to overwrite parents value , but on backend I see only Color Variant as above and I can't add any custom field on each children.
Now sizes are displayed correctly inside children ( yellow or red ) but when I am on children I don't see other colors.
Where am I wrong?
Thanks
Reading at the manual , in its exaustive ( ;D ;D ) explanation of product child creation I read that in mine virtuemart2 version binary
FOR VIRTUEMART 2.0.X - Either all customfields are overwritten, or none.
http://docs.virtuemart.net/manual/17-products-menu/33-product.html
So that means that my specification require some more template modification ?
Thanks

Thanks!!
That plugin is nice but it's not what I need unfortunately
I need child products behaviour, to control stock, sizes and so on.
I need just to display the parent option dropdown in each children. Is really that weird needing :D
Thanks

Nice, wondering why they don't write in English too and many thanks for the link.
This require hacking core code, this could be a needed feature, could we dome a pull request maybe for next release.
Can I implement this solution with a plugin maybe or an external override of that method.
Thanks again
You're welcome. There two partial 3rd party solutions for this. Such hack could be wisely customized. So it's not easy to implement it as standard. Same for addtocart-in-category feature for example.
Hello and thanks again for the reply
Which are those 3rd party plugins?
I did'nt find them googling
thanks
Catproduct and T-shirt extension from Balai.
Ok thanks I will check
Hi
Did you try the built in stockable variants plugin?
Hello Balai, thanks for your extension
I still haven't trial, but it's another solution I am considering
