Villages and Towns have been used as States. There are two Islands: Malta and Gozo. Country is Malta, but Gozo is a Region - also important as there are a few town names in each island which are identical. e.g. Rabat, Malta and Rabat Gozo, Mgarr Malta, Mgarr Gozo, Zebbug, Malta, Zebbug, Gozo  So, either the States need to be reduced simply to: Malta Gozo  Or  The Gozo town names are suffixed as follows:  Gharb, Gozo San Lawrenz, Gozo Ghasri, Gozo Zebbug, Gozo Marsalforn, Gozo Victoria, Gozo (also known as Rabat, Gozo) Fontana, Gozo Xaghra, Gozo Nadur, Gozo Qala, Gozo Ghajnsielem, Gozo Mgarr, Gozo Sannat, Gozo Munxar,Gozo Xlendi, Gozo  I think that's all the entries. The ones in bold are the biggest issue as they are towns in both islands.  However, surely it would be simpler to have 3 tables: Countries, States, Cities, linked with country code and country-state codes respectively? then the states for Malta can simply be: Malta and Gozo  Also, some names with incorrect spelling:  Gaxaq - should be Ghaxaq Xagra - should be Xaghra Melliea - should be Mellieha Xgajra - should be Xghajra  These would need to be changed in the product.

So here's the situation. My client has a stock management software &quot;Simply Accounting&quot; which he uses to manage his stock and he wants to be able to synchronize his stock with Hikashop. I know that the stock management software company offers a module to integrate &quot;Simply Accounting&quot; with the store.  What concerns me is that the client has his products organized as follow. Each line of product has several characteristics, so let's say we have t-shirt and it has 3 colors and 5 sizes and we have a SKU for each combination. Example:  Product Name Color Size SKU Price T-shirt 1 Red Small 001122 $11.50 T-shirt 1 Red Medium 001122 $11.50 T-shirt 1 Red Large 001133 $12.50 T-shirt 1 Red XL 001144 $13.00 T-shirt 1 Red XXL 001155 $13.50  T-shirt 1 Green Smal 002211 $11.50 T-shirt 1 Green Medium 002222 $12.00  and so on  Can I accomplish this by developing a plugin and will I be able to upgrade to future versions of Hikashop without messing too much with the plugin?

I think I have narrowed it down to a series of steps, but am unsure if this is a feature or a bug (possibly introduced in 1.5.6).  Steps followed: New product created with description Assign 1 set of characteristics (3 choices) Variants generated automatically - product still shows description in front end properly but since no customization has been done to the variants, my different pricing does not show. Modify one variant via &quot;Manage Variants&quot; to assign a price to variant (no other change). Revisit product. Product description disappears for that variant selection. Only variant description will show if one is entered for that variant. I believe I upgraded from 1.5.3 before 1.5.6 and it did not do this in that version.  Is it now required to enter a description in every variant so that something shows in the product page? Can it not be set to default to show the general product description and additionally show the variant description if one is entered?
