To build catalog pages in Ecommerce, I am using CCK & Views. Adding a set of checkboxes with CCK so the view can determine whether or not to display a particular item on a catalog page.

When an parent product is "cloned" for the product variations (which appears to be the first time it is added to a cart), it also assigns the cloned item to the catalog. This makes sense as a $node copy - but it breaks my catalog design.

I guess what would help, is if an "Is parent product" was added to the available views filter, so I could check that I was seeing the parent product only.

Views allows really nice management tools to build ecommerce catalog pages. And they are simple enough so editors can manage the view.

The ec_views module part of Ecommerce adds the support for a number of product fields. One of these is "Master Product" - the old subproduct module used this to id which was the master product. Same as your Parent Product - I think maybe this is a change in the EC_Views module really - so it looks up your parent product and you can then filter on it with views.
