ZenCart is the best OS cart I have used and will continue to use, however....
I read the changelog and other articles and realized that 1.3.5 would significantly affect my customized 1.2.7 layout since mine was all tables and 1.3.5 is DIV formatting (the big red 'classic' attention paragraph) plus many files had been changed, moved or deleted since 1.3.0. I installed it as a test and added my template folder but when I enabled it the result was a blank page with just the page background. I am still working with it (in my spare time) to make it look the same but it is a challenge. For this reason I have to stay with 1.2.7 until I get it right.
For one. The products list display of a category no longer has alternating color background or padding. All the image ######## against each other. I was able to add padding but I have yet to figure out bgcolor alternation. I figure I will have to make new classess called .odd and .even and apply them somewhere in a file for product listing.
If I can upgrade the security functions without affecting my template then I'll be fine (any suggestions on that?). While DIVs may be the 'way to go' now, I like the simplicity of tables, plus it's what I know and can manipulate.
Anyway, I suppose the solutions are within these forums and I will take the time to sift through but I was just adding my 2cents.
