Products)
Products)
Going back now to offering variations on a product: If you want to offer a fixed list of variations for
your customer to choose from, rather than allowing them to pick and mix attributes as they please,
you need to create some ‘items’. Note: These are different from the content ‘items’ in Mambo itself.
An item in VirtueMart is a pre-defined variation on the main product. In order to create an item, you
have to set up at least one attribute first. Hence, it is only after you have added an attribute that the
‘New Item’ toolbar button and its related menu option appear.

Adding Items
To create a new item, a parent product must exist / be created first. When completing the form, keep
in mind that the product information, product dimensions, and product images entered here are the
ones that will be displayed initially for all items. Once a specific item is selected by the customer, the
product information, product dimensions, and product images for that item will be displayed. Next,
the attributes that will be used to identify the items need to be created. Open the Product Form of the
Parent Item you create in the first step.
