That sound logical to me :-)

In that case it would be nice if the Zen Cart script, or some contribution for Zen Cart, would help to generate these unique model numbers. By optionally adding the products_id to the model number for example? Would that be a good idea?
ok, that sounds acceptable enough. However: this means I am out of options with ZenCart for my products: I do need to display a couple of columns: Name, Height (used model here) Size (used Weight here) and Price.

The "De Luxe" solution would be to create two extra fields in the database: Height and Size and leave Model and Weight for what they are. Perhaps I can indeed use the model field to uniquely tag my products.

Now, if I would do this would I not head straight into some sort of update hell? I would have to hack away with every single small or larger update to either EP or ZC...

I am not afraid to make my hands dirty, but is this what others do? The problem is: I am not a programmer.... (but very good a t copy-paste and trial-and-error :-) )

Anyone with a workable solution?
