Adding Products - going to music related option not manufacturer

[Haggis]

I'm not aware I did anything, started adding new products to the directory/category and now instead of giving me the manufacturers option I get what type of music is it.

Unsure how to change it, so that once again I can select the manufacturer when adding new products.

When you create products using the Product-Music product-type from the dropdown next to the Add Product button, you'll get the music fields instead of manufacturer.

To create non-music products, choose the normal default of Product-General instead.

That is the issue for me, when adding some new products, there was no option for manufacturer, only what kind of music it was.. Never even seen that option before today

To add a product, you navigate into the category where you want that product to be, and then you see a button to add New Product. But beside that button is a dropdown from which to choose what kind ("Type") of product you're adding. The default is Product-General.

But if you chose Product-Music, you would see music options instead of the usual manufacturer options.

Perhaps you chose Product-Music by mistake?

Or perhaps you've changed the category details and forced that category to only allow music products? (Navigate back a level, and click the (e) button next to that category to view/edit the category restrictions you've assigned to that category.)

So, that's the explanation, and the fix.

How weird, added the same product and in went on as normal..

I dont have products_music any longer it was edited to show another option, so I have no idea what happened but its working fine again. I just deleted the ones I added earlier
