Hi,
I am also needing to get this function working. I am selling clothes and need to have stock control on the sizes for sale of the various items I have.
For example, i have 2 x size 11, 1 x size 10.
I have followed the wiki:
http://dev.virtuemart.net/projects/virtuemart/wiki/Product_custom_fields_with_stock_control. The plugin shows on a stock item. I add a variant and this shows in the plugin.
The product in the shop now shows the title of the plugin, and this is it. When I look in the admin backend, I now have 2 child products listed. The child product has the details added from the plugin in the main product but nothing else (no price, date available, images etc). If I then add the other details in the child product, it is listed as a separate product in my store.
What I need is the main product to show the variant (size), so the customer selects this in the main product and my stock control is adjusted on the backend and once a size is out of stock, it is no longer available to order.
I hope someone can explain how to set this up.
I can see there are a lot of people wanting to use this function.
Regards
Phil
