What does the product_type field do?

I'm editing my products.tpl file because it's not showing the "show details" button, and I notice the following:

Code:

{if $products[product].product_type eq "C"}

<font class="FormButton">{$lng.lbl_details} {include file="buttons/go.tpl"}</font>

{/if }

So my question is, why is the template set to hide the "show details" button when the product_type is "C"? What does prodcut_type of "C" stand for? It seems like it should mean "customer", but I don't know for sure, so I'm not sure if I should just remove the "if" statement and show the button for everyone or not. Please advise.

If im not mistaken its for product configurator add-on offered by the x-cart guys, but don't quote me on it. :?

Ahhh...that makes sense. It seemed like there were lots of new conditionals in the templates that were set to display only if the $product.product_type != "C". I bet that stands for "configurable". The default value is "N" which probably means "normal". Of course, I speak english and the programmers speak...uh...Russian I guess, so there's no telling for sure.
