category view and child products

[Sonictech]

I hope I can explain this correctly:  I am using category view for the virtumart located on the site.  Under certain products, they have multiple child products using a drop down list. When you first go to the Products tab (virtumart) you will just see the base price listed near the child drop down, option 1 is showing.  Here are the issues:

1. Option 1 is showing in the drop down but the base price of the product is showing, not the option 1 price.  I would like the option1 price to show show up first, if you click option 2 the price would change to option 2 price, click on option 3 the price changes to option 3 and so forth.

2. when the option is clicked it redirects to the options page, I would like it to stay on the category page but just change the price.

3. Rating stars not showing up, no clue why.

here is my code:

Thanks for any help!

[Sonictech]

Does anyone have an idea?  This is the main issue with getting a site live.

Thanks!

[Sonictech]

Could really use some help with this issue please

[Sonictech]

Can someone please help with this

[dodgyjammer]

Hi Shawn

See my answer to your third question here - http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=97611.30

[Milbo]

Which kind of children do you use? must it be stockable? If not stockable, you should us the other customfields (cart variant) .

[Sonictech]

I am using cart variant but it shows the main base price in the category listing.  If it has a child and you click that it jumps to the product page instead of just changing the price on the category page. I don't want it to go to the product page unless you click the"read more" link.
Thanks,
Shawn
