Catalog Manager Challenge: Configurable Products

Ruth Hoffman-2
Hello List:
Given the current trunk version (823826) of OFBiz, how does one create a
configurable product consisting of other products?

Using just the Catalog Manager, there does not seem to be any way to
associate a configurable item as an existing PRODUCT. There is a way to
list existing configuration items that are PRODUCTS (as in the PC001
PRODUCT), but no way to add new configurable items and preserve any
PRODUCT information about that item. What am I missing here? Do I need
to use some other Catalog Manager interface?

Regards,
Ruth

Hello List:
I would like to add to this original post that in older, 4x versions of
OFBiz, there existed a form to create a configuration item as an
existing PRODUCT.

Ruth

HI Ruth,

Could you tell us more about this ? URL used at least, maybe screen, form, service, etc.

Thanks

Hi Jacques:
I just tried this with the BlueLight theme installed on a very recent
version of OFBiz and it appears I misspoke - at least as regards to the
BlueLight theme. My original question came when I was using the Bizzness
theme. I'll go back and check out that theme and see if I just couldn't
find this feature or if, in fact it isn't there.

Thanks for looking into this.
Ruth
