You might be able to build on it. My .php skills are minimal, I know just enough to screw things up. ![;)](/media/kunena/emoticons/11.png ";)") For now I decided to restructure the way I'm selling things and to revisit this in the future. If you come up with a solution could you please let me know? Thanks and good luck!

Anyway... That link suggests that I can add custom fields to the product listings page which is what I want, however I only have the standard version at the moment and you have to have commercial version to creat custom fields for products. So I cannot try this yet. I cannot find the custom field for product sections discussed below in my configuration area so I assume that is because I don't have a commercial version. **Custom item fields don't appear on the front end.** When you create a custom field, don't forget to enable the "Front-end" option. Be careful, when you create the custom field, be sure that you set the good table , which is the "item" table, not the "product" table. For products listings, enable the default option in System->configuration->display, enable "Display custom item fields" in the Default parameters for products. For products listings, enable the same option, in Display->content menus/modules.
