How much time have you spent working with Magento? You seem like a bit of an online ninja at it! Thanks again, Loron. Super, thanks, that saved me a fair bit of time.

i have been working online for 15 years, and prestashop has been the most frustrating and worthless product i have ever had the misfortune of working on.

if you are reading this, and even considering using prestashop, RUN away.

It has some useful features, but the code isn't exactly clean or elegant. What makes it a really bad choice is the sheer number of database queries the default 'modules' use. I had to modify 'modules' and 'templates' working with product pages and listings to bring down number of queries issued to a more sensible number. The modifications tend to save about 200+ queries per page. I haven't profiled Magento, but it's quite slow even on localhost in its default installation. I've also tried FreeWay and PrestaShop and the only one that seemed to work OK was OpenCart. FreeWay and PrestaShop were pretty buggy when I tried them about half a year ago.
