Dropdown for product variations

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Would it be possible to implement a feature where the end-user/customer could 
choose between variations from a dropdown?

E.g:

Meat costs 10$ pr. 1 kg.
The customer can choose between:
1 kg - 10$
2 kg - 20$

etc.

that's already possible.

add a selectbox field to a product type. in the Product Types admin, you have 
the option of adding prices as a second column.

in the Products themselves, you can change whatever the default Product Type 
values were. Products are not yet updated to use the new system, so it's still 
a little clumsy, but basically, you add a number after a '|' symbol, and if 
chosen, the product will cost that much.

for example, let's say you have a product (meat) which has a base price of 10$
you can then add a "which version" product type, with the following values:
1 kg
2 kg|10

the "|10" will not be shown to the customer, but will be added to the price 
when the product is added to the cart

I think that sounds too complex for the end user. Is it possible to make a more 
intuitive solution?
Maybe a field for every value and the corresponding price?

heh - sorry - forgot to update this.

I actually did that over a week ago as part of an ongoing development project. 
please update your copy and have a look in Product Types

I'm marking this as Fixed.

It looks good, but it will require a product type for each product using the 
dropdown.
Would it be possible to add the price at product level instead of at product 
type level?

I will be doing that. Probably not this week though.

I'm marking that down in my diary to do next Saturday.

I'm not quite sure - is it possible now to:

Product - Minched Meat is sold in 200 gr., 400 gr. and 600 gr.
200 gr. is 25 $
400 gr. is 40 $
600 gr. is 50 $

set the base price of the product to $25

have a drop-down for weight, with these values:
200 gr.
400 gr.|15
600 gr.|25

that should give you the right values.

I haven't had time yet to work on doing this properly.
