Hello!
I use Storebox template and last NSP GK5. I have child products with on stock, but module does not show them. Module shows only parent products? How i can show child products?

Hi

Does the child products have a different category ? Maybe You need to included all categories into the source.

If child products are something else, than I do not think it's supported.

No, child products take category from parent product. If i add stocking options to parent, product shows in NSP, if i add only for child (what i need), product does not show...

Do you need website address and account to figure it out?

Hi

I'm not a VM expert, but I do not think child products works as You think they are. They are not treated as a separate product, but as a variant of the parent product. Therefore they cannot be displayed as a product in NSP. NSP can link to parent one where the variant can be selected.

This is how I see it's working, but as I said I'm not an expert if it comes to VM component. It would be better if You ask VM support about how it works or how this should be done to do what You want .

Sorry for my english, but: I made some research. When i make child product, then it does not have any parent product options (like category, pictures etc). In module i have option 'VirtueMart Categories' - then it does not find child products (becaus they dos not have category) and module does not look at the parent for this. After i add category to child, then it needs image too to show up in module... But if i add category to child, my catalog shows parent and childs together what i dosent need. So messy problem.

Hi

Child product for VM is a parent product variant and it's stored in database differently. Because of that it is not treated as a separate product. NSP can only pick up parent product with a selection of a variant. This is how it was designed.
