 * Hello
 * I created attributes for size and medium
    When I add variations, is it important
   to make descriptions for each product with different sizes and different mediums
   unique?
 * It seems that if the description is always the same the variations don’t work?
 * Is there some sort of rule for naming variations?
    thank you,
 * K

 * The attributes need to be unqiue.
 * e.g. variation 1 would be: size large, medium 1.
    variation 2 would be size small,
   medium 2
 * etc. Then each variation can be given a price.

 * Ok,
    I have medium as different papers fine art permajet,fine art coton, photo
   mat, photo glossy,
 * the sizes are 20 x30, 30 x45 etc
 * I think my attributes text is too long and stopping the selection to come up.
   Is there a size limit-meaning number of characters- in the attributes to respect?
 * I have added “Fine Art paper Hahnemühle Photorag Baryta white gloss 308g glossy
   ink” as attribute. Is it too long for an attribute?
    Since I added it the drop
   down menu is not working and the slot is too big.
 * I hope I am making sense???

 * Seems to work? I don’t think there is a set limit, some some servers do have 
   security limits in place.
 * Keep the attributes short and instead add descriptions to each variation.

 * thank you,
 * I have shortened the attributes and the menu came back to a ‘normal’ size.
 * The box at the bottom of the product page relists the attributes. Can it list
   something different, for ex the details of the paper quality?
 * thank you,

 * On the attributes tab you can choose to hide them.

 * Mike I am back at it again after a series of hacks, intrusions and you name it!!
 * I am rebuilding this site and am stuck again with variations and attributes
 * The attributes are Sizes and Mediums (meaning different types of supports for
   photos)
 * where do I do the global attributes : on the attributes page or on the products
   page
