e-commerce module creates a content type called "Product" with various sub-content-types:

- Auction Item
- Non-Shippable Product
- Gift Certificate

and so on.

nodefamily module, however, displays only the "Product" parent content type which, in effect, is just a "container" for the sub-content-types that actually do the job.

question:
how can I see the sub-content-types in the drop-down list of nodefamily, in order to create relationships for them?

thanks,
abramo

i don't know what e-commerce sub-content types are. if they are node content types then you can use them like every other content type, if not they are not supported.

@fago : what I refer to as "sub-content-types" are valid normal content types but listed "nested" within a content type called "Product" - this is a very weird situation, causing all sorts of issues with the functioning of other modules, which the e-commerce team are now looking into.

nested as follows:

Product
- Auction Item
- Tangible Item
- Non-Shippable Product
- Gift Certificate

"Product" is just a container, containing the other valid content types that do the job (which have no reason to be listed "nested"). You have to click on "Product" to expand it and see the rest. weird, very.

"Product" has no real function in e-commerce.

if there is any way to make nodefamily "see" and list the nested content types, that would resolve the issue immediately. at present nodefamily cannot "see" the nested content types, ex. in a list as above. it can only "see" "Product", which is meaningless.

nodefamily just lists content-types, if it is a normal content-type it will be listed..

seems the way e-commerce creates and lists its default content types (products) should be changed, as it is not compatible with other modules.
