It's doing that this way in case of there is many characteristics, it's very difficult to determine if one variant id published or not when the dropdown are generated. What can be done is create more characteristics with less options to add them to the product and have only the desired variants.

The next question is following, is it possible to change the order of the variants after creating? Now it's in the reversed order as it sholud be. P.S I bought Hikashop now and the company account is now Plotec, so don't be irritated. Last edit: 13 years 1 month ago by [Plotec](/forum/user/28323-plotec "View Plotec's Profile").

So simply change these two orderings and it will change the ordering of the variants. Note that there was a bug on that end and that it might not work all the time if you don't have the latest version of HikaShop (2.2.2).

It's currently possible to unpublish variants but that has no effect to the frontend view. For me it looks as it will not be a big deal to implement...but i'm just a noob. I think it's worth to implement because it makes life much easier for your users.

My problem is as following: Schoko is offered only in "Bruchplatte" and "500g Beutel", so If I choose Schoko, the 250g Beutel have to disappear. Nuss is offered inly in "Bruchplatte" and "250g Beutel", so If I choose Nuss, the 500g Beutel have to disappear. Mandel is only offered in "Bruchplatte" and "250g Beutel", so If I choose Mandel, the 500g Beutel have to disappear. That's the problem, only the characteristics combination that is not offered should be unpublished and that is not the case. If I unpublish all characteristics of a specific value the whole characteristic disappear also if another characteristic needs them. - [ ![hbe18887.jpg](/forum/attachment/13651) ](/forum/attachment/13651 "hbe18887.jpg") [ ](/forum/attachment/13651?download=1 "hbe18887.jpg") Last edit: 12 years 11 months ago by [Plotec](/forum/user/28323-plotec "View Plotec's Profile").
