Thank you again Loris, I am slowly but surely getting there - I can `t believe how incredibly difficult this has become - it used to be so easy
ok, so now on the product page I have the drop box - but it is showing the parent as well - I want just the children in the drop box, as the parent is just a shell - like in the old vm 1.1 where you would set up a parent with no price & all the children would be the actual products.
also, it just says the child name, so I have 4 'hand shovels' with nothing to distinguish them - how can I get the drop down to say
hand shovel - this size - $5.00
hand shovel - that size - $7.00
etc
?
(I REALLY appreciate your assistance, I`ve been banging my head on this for months - & I`ve build 50+ virtuemart shops in older versions of VM - it just makes no sense to me)
