using dupal 5 with e-Commerce.

I am struck with using subproducts

I need to configure to sell packets of paper

Of sizes : A4, A6
Of count: 100, 200
Of thickness: 114gsm, 240 gsm

I have tried the e-Commerce's built in Subproducts
As well as eCLive Subproducts

Attempt 1) Activated the Subproducts builtin module

"Subproducts" appeared in eCommerce Configuration in Admin panel

however it has no option to manage subproducts. it has the following options only.

Delete child products:

Enable this setting to have subproducts automatically deleted when their parent product is deleted.

Now tried the "product variation" in the admin section

Product variations
Please choose a product type from the task list. From there you can setup variations and attributes for the product types.

the list was empty

So to add subproducts i tried

Create Content--> Product--> Shippable Product

However i cant find any option to create subproducts here also. just the normal "create product" fileds

Attempt 2
Activated the ecLIVE subproducts module

And the Tangible Subproduct module that comes with ecLive subproduct.

Now went to "Subproduct attributes" in admin panel

Selected " Create Variations." (the link to "create variations" is actially http://saco.in/admin/content/taxonomy/4/add/term )

which means that variations are actually created as a taxonomy term terms.

Gave "Term Name" as size (since I want sizes A4,A6) -- Submit

But again i go to administer -- Subproduct attributes == i see "There is no variations or attributes."

Please help..What to do?

Using the built-in EC subproducts, what you do is after you've created a product content type, then create variations and attributes for that content type at admin/ecsettings/variation.

For example, a variation would be Size and the attributes for size might be A4 and A6.

After that, when you create something of that product type, you'll be able to choose which attributes that specific product has and the system will then create the appropriate subproducts as part of the process.

what you do is after you've created a product content type

the product content type will be created by default know.. should i create a new one?

here is what i did, i created a new product

added variation and two attributes under that variation for "Tangible Subproduct"

Tried to create a create content--product--tangible subproduct

I'm having a similar situation in trying to create variations (sizes) for shirts. I've created the size variations and am able to select them when creating or editing a product. However when I edited a product to include the size variations the spot where the "Add To Cart" once was replaced by medium | large | x-large links below. The links are just for the taxonomy terms and go nowhere, they simply add the term to the node header when clicked. So now I have the variations displayed but no way for a user to add the item to his or her cart because the variations have replaced any "Add To Cart" link. I want a way to display a dropdown menu or radio buttons so the user can select the variation (size) and then add it to the cart. Is this not possible?
