configurable-product
When I try to add Configurable product
I got this error
Only attributes with scope "Global", input type "Dropdown" and Use To
Create Configurable Product "Yes" are available.
I check the attribute set and remove all attribute except system attribute
but I still got error. I check description attribute it's textfield type
Description attribute only textfield is needed
I'm confusing how to create configurable product .. what am I missing?
It looks like you are creating your attribute correctly, add some options to it. Once your attribute is complete, you need to add it to the attribute set by going here: Catalog > Attributes > Manage attribute sets. Once there add your attribute to the attribute set:
Once you do that, you may need to re-index. Now you can create a configurable product, go to Catalog > Manage Products then select "Add a Product" on the New Product screen select your attribute set, and select "Configurable Product" front the Product Type drop down list. When you click continue you should see your attribute as a checkbox:
Select your attribute and proceed to create your product like any other product. Hope this helps.
If you want to use an Attribute for Configurations, you have to make sure, that it has the Scope Global.
That is (I think) like this, because it does not make sense to override a configuration variant on store or store view level.
