Hi all you VM experts,
I migrated a lot of products from a VM 2.x installation to a brand new VM.
Since the nifty multivariant feature is now available I would like to group imported products into variants of product patterns.
I do understand how this all works by creating new variants using the VM front-end and it works. However, I want to avoid reentering tons
of products as variants.
The front-end has not exposed a suitable function to do this - at least not to me. Is there a way to do this without reverting to dirty DB works ?
Speaking of dirty DB: I have tried this approach already. Variants can simple be added to a given product by setting the product_parent_id accordingly.
After this I can add multvariants in all of their beauty. However...
The variants appear to be right but choosing a variant using the drop-downs simply does not switch the product detail to the right product.
Interestingly enough - when I navigate to the variants using the for/back links - the drop-down boxes adjust correctly.
What am I missing ? Which tables would need adjustment as well after working in the product_parent_id ?
Any help greatly appreciated.
Cheers

The relationships work now. The JQuery settings needed to be changed in the configuration.
HI,
If you need to modify parent/child relation you can use my tool here : http://shop.st42.fr/en/products/vm-be-pro-batch-product-edit.htm
But it wrok for many other batch process / product editing too.
