"No products exist" when trying to assign products to media collection

[gnarfen]

- create your products using the "product-music" product type.
- Go to Admin->Extras->Media Manager
- create a new collection
- edit the collection and add media clips to it ... browse+add (this will upload files to the /media folder ... which must be read/write)
- edit the collection and click "Assign to products", and choose the product to which these clips should be linked

Then you'll see the clips appear on the product page in the store

Hi,

Im new to Zen Cart and are trying to create digital products with audio preview. Im following the above steps (and also read article http://tutorials.zen-cart.com/index.php?article=119) but get stuck at the last point. When Im about to assign the media collection to a product it just says "no products in this category". I have only one category with music-products in it. What am I doing wrong?

I have Zen Cart version 1.3.8 and have made the digital products downloadable according to this article: http://tutorials.zen-cart.com/index.php?article=71.

Any help is appreciated.

There's a small bug that only shows up when you have only one category, and thus cannot select a category from the pulldown list.
If you add another top-level category, even if it's disabled or has no products in it, then the pulldown menu for the media manager should work allow you to add clips properly.
That bug is fixed in the next big version update.

It works perfect, thanks for a quick response!
