Help with adding products

[MPF]

Thanks for your reply Linda. Is there a link that I can go to that explains how to do it right? I don't know what code to add so I really need somthing to read to get me going in the right direction.

Thankyou once again,
Dean.

Did you make all new Product Types or did you just rename things in the product_types table?

IF you just renamed things, do you intend to create full Product Type file sets for the catalog and admin?

If not, you can remake the product_types table back to its original format and that should fix things ...

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS product_types;
CREATE TABLE product_types (
  type_id int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
  type_name varchar(255) NOT NULL default '',
  type_handler varchar(255) NOT NULL default '',
  type_master_type int(11) NOT NULL default '1',
  allow_add_to_cart char(1) NOT NULL default 'Y',
  default_image varchar(255) NOT NULL default '',
  date_added datetime NOT NULL default '0001-01-01 00:00:00',
  last_modified datetime NOT NULL default '0001-01-01 00:00:00',
  PRIMARY KEY  (type_id),
  KEY idx_type_master_type_zen (type_master_type)
) TYPE=MyISAM; 

INSERT INTO product_types VALUES (1, 'Product - General', 'product', '1', 'Y', '', now(), now());
INSERT INTO product_types VALUES (2, 'Product - Music', 'product_music', '1', 'Y', '', now(), now());
INSERT INTO product_types VALUES (3, 'Document - General', 'document_general', '3', 'N', '', now(), now());
INSERT INTO product_types VALUES (4, 'Document - Product', 'document_product', '3', 'Y', '', now(), now());
INSERT INTO product_types VALUES (5, 'Product - Free Shipping', 'product_free_shipping', '1', 'Y', '', now(), now());
