Unable to Override (Related List) New Button? VF Page not selectable

Hope all is well.

I am a newbie to visual force and apex and have looked at various documentation online. (Especially this pdf https://www.developerforce.com/guides/Visualforce_in_Practice.pdf, however i really need some SF expertise from the community to help me get this over the line, as i dont know how to proceed.

Required outcome : User goes to the sales_and_marketing__c object, scrolls to the related list called Materials_Junction__c. Upon clicking the"new" button the following visual page below should be presented. The user would then select the appropriate products (using the tickbox) and adding an quantity number. Upon pressing save, the values selected should be mapped back to the sales_and_marketing__c object,

Visual Force page 
<apex:page controller="testWrapper">
<script type="text/javascript">
        function selectAllCheckboxes(obj,receivedInputID){
            var inputCheckBox = document.getElementsByTagName("input");
            for(var i=0; i<inputCheckBox.length; i++){
                if(inputCheckBox[i].id.indexOf(receivedInputID)!=-1){
                    inputCheckBox[i].checked = obj.checked;
                }

Hi Daniel Mason,

You can see the Visual Force pages which have the only standard controller in the dropdown list.

So to see your Visualforce page you need to have a standard controller with an extension like below.Use your controller testWrapper as an extension just change this line in above and make changes accordingly.
<apex:page standardController="Materials__c" extensions="testWrapper">
Please refer below link.

https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.pages.meta/pages/pages_controller_extension.htm


Hope this helps you!

Thanks and Regards
Sandhya
