Prestashop code redesign


Recommended Posts

Hi,

I like the funcionality that prestashop offers us, but I'm ready to drop it off because the code is just too messy, and all my client's websites always imply major module / theme / admin changes, wich becomes a pain sometimes.

Prestashop sticks to some markup / funcionality standards that aren't always the best (in my case never lol), but still you guys have a great community with lots of customers using your software over the world. This is one of the softwares that is being called as an alternative for Magento, for instance, wich is mainly for those who have great hardware resources at hand. I'd like to continue using this software, but those problems I refer really drive me away from it.

Is there a scheduled code redesign for the sofware, for something more up-to-date and more dynamic? Like proper MVC separation and OOP?

If there's nothing scheduled, I'll probably just drop prestashop and redesign a e-commerce module for Kohana in order to fullfill my needs.

Cheers!

I have started redeveloping a lot of the code, including fragmenting the css to a per page basis along with optional per page js includes.

The default css is horrific, Ideally you want modules to have their own css included conditionally - not globbed with the main css. A similar story exists with the js.I'd like to have the css globbed and cached for faster loading, same goes with the js (conditionally as mentioned).

Once conditional loading (as with hooks) is dealt with I'm looking at moving away from smarty - its a pain and awkward.

If anyone is interested in working with me on this please give me a shout.
