Anyone else feel like there are too many categories with excessively long lists?
It seems a little excessive sometimes. Do you think it would be possible to create an alternative way of keeping all the options without such a volume of categories and massive lists ascribed to each one?
I like the end result of Zencart better than many other shopping carts, but the admin panel feels cumbersome to me. Everything is there, but it seems like an efficient and well planed approach wouldnt just compile massive lists of every option that comes to mind separately. If it was organized more around what you wanted it to do, like if you want to make a page have just ONE option from the control panel then have it branch out from there.....not 28 ways to manipulate pages spread out over 3 or 4 different categories of options. Sometimes less is more, without actually being any less.
Im not saying I dont like Zencart. Im still using it. I like the end result, and once its up it works quite well.....I just think it needs to be said, especially as the project evolves and more options get added.....there has to be a better way to add options instead of just adding sheer bulk of specific actions from the main page of the control panel. It should start more general then branch out to being more specific, and you should be able to do more things from the same one page rather than only very specific and narrow things stretched over a hundred pages.
Just some constructive criticism to think about. Im not sure if any of the free carts that are powerful enough are any better.
