Master Products Got me going nuts

[Lytech]

I wanted to have somebody who buys particular items on my site get offered "recommended additional items" when they add a certain item to my cart. There could be several of these so I installed the Master Products contribution, and proceeded to install all of the other little "fixes" to allow for multiple masters for one slave etc. I also installed the easy populate contribution for what it is worth. Here is what is happening:

 

If I choose a product ORIGINALLY ENTERED as a master product, it will add to my cart (though I still have to manually change the quantity to 1 every time!!!). If I choose a slave item, when I hit BUY NOW (which does not display quantities, by the way) I get the first MASTER product associated with the slave item in my cart. If no master products are associated, I get an empty cart. It is passing the wrong variable (product ID).

 

Ironically, I can not get the actual original feature to work at all either (which is that when I add a master prodcut with 4 slaves associated with it, I do not get ANY slaves!)

 

I know at one point in time it worked, and although my site is not yet live, it is a point of frustration that these contributions can so easily break each other.

 

Any ideas?

Did you ever get this figured out? I'm having a similar problem.
