Clearly my server won't take that and the store would be monumentally slow even if it could.
What I need to know is, does the Global product options add on, really make, perhaps just 20 options global , and there are only 20 pictures in the option gallery, and only add the picture and or price modifier when it is selected during a customer shopping.
Or does the Global production option just present admin with a way of applying options globally but when you apply them all it really does is to enter the several thousand database entries automaticially for you via the normal hardwork xcart product managment way, effectively doing the legwork of still creating the huge product list. I.e there are still many duplicates and the database is unmanagably large, but you just see the options through a window that makes you think that only 20 option entries exist, whereas in reality it has behind the scenes created 40000 or so entries.
Any ideas
Many thanks
