I have mostly got my head around it except that I would really like to catagorise the products rather then having a 6+ page continuous list.
How can this be done please?
Use taxonomy (categories) to create categories for your products and assign them to those categories. Then you can use the Views module to create views of products by category.
What I'm getting is a series of pull down lists (under product admin) corresponding to the categories I created though they all say "None selected".
Where have I gone wrong please?
