I'm trying to follow the tutorial on how to create a grid view for the products in my store (http://www.ubercart.org/contrib/95). I installed, cck, imagefield, and imagecache, but when I get to step five, I click on fields and there is not field named "Image (field_image_cache)" I've checked to see if the field shows up at http://mysite.com/admin/store/settings/products/edit/fields, and it doesn't. this leads me to believe CCK isn't set up correctly. I'm kind of new to this and am wondering if I missed a set up step. If anyone could point me in the correct direction, I would greatly appreciate it.

Here is the step I'm getting hung up on:
5. Click on Fields. Add the "Image (field_image_cache)" field; for Handler, select "Do not group multiple values"; for Option select "Thickbox product." Now add the "Node: Title field"; for Handler select normal; for Option, select "as link"; For Sortable and Default Sort, select No and None, respectively. Click on Save and Edit at the bottom of the screen.

Did you click on "add field" and add that field to the product content type? Is it in the drop down box at the top of the "add fields" tab?

If you just want to display a Catalog grid you might find it easier to use the built-in Catalog grid, see admin/store/settings/catalog/edit. The contribution you are following was created before this feature was available in core. It's still a good example if you're interested in using/learning Views, but is not necessary if all you want is a grid.

That field is set up when image support for Ubercart is installed. Looks like you haven't done that yet - the instructions you're quoting seem to assume that you have image support activated already. There's a brief description how to do this here: http://www.ubercart.org/faq/479

TR and Thill, thank you both very much. That cleared up my confusion. I'm using the dhtml menu as my navigation. I wasn't double clicking on the "Store Administration" tab to open it up. I must have missed the status table my first time through. I wasn't paying attention and was looking in the "Table Display Settings" portion of the "Configurations" sub-menu. I got way ahead of myself. Also noted: I did check the catalog/edit page, and it is indeed there. Wow. Anyway, I appreciate the quick responses from you both. You helped me out.
