OK, I was able to add a product variation by what I thought was the "old" way.
Add product, make configurable, add another product, add variation, link new variation to original configurable product. I believe my confusion was with the "Create Variations" check box on the ConfigurableProduct edit page. I misunderstood the help_text there and was confused as to why the variations were not being created. (To me "add" an option meant "create" the option, not "select" an option). OK, I thought, so I just click the "Add variations" link next to my Option, select my option again on the next page (?), then save. That 500s (I'll file a bug for that) because I'm trying to add a variation on a ConfigurableProduct. So there is a minor bug that I'll file, but I think the rest boils down to me not understanding the interface. I'm going to try to post a screencast of how this works as I imagine it will help folks like me grok this a lot sooner. -- Pete On Nov 20, 1:48 pm, "Chris Moffitt" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > If you try to load the sample store data, does it work? > > python manage.py satchmo_load_store > > I'm trying to figure out where the issue lies. > > -Chris > > On Thu, Nov 20, 2008 at 1:28 PM, baumer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > I think there is an issue here too.
