as a note we began using zencart about three weeks ago, version 1.3.9d and yes i have done searches in the forum - no joy.

Not sure at what point this happened because we recently hired someone to do the database population for categories/products in our new excursion into ZC, but today i noticed that 'Product - General' is no longer the default nor one of the drop down choices in the admin panel for adding products. It has disappeared. Everything is going in as product type 'test', a holdover from following one or other tutorial we used in learning the system. Our products, clothing, are appropriate for the "Product - General' product type.

At first I was very alarmed until I realized that up to this point our lumbering fumbling toward setting up this shop has been more or less fraught with the typical danger, frustration and then a modicum of success. It is basically working.

My question is:
I have a sneaking suspicion from somewhere that there is some special voodoo associated with using 'Product - General' as a product type that we are missing out on in some underlying layer that will jump up and shoot us in the foot. I have even seen that string in several of the php files in the course of tweaking the overrides.

What consequences might face us in not changing this situation?
