Does anybody know of a way (beside the tedious manual way of doing it) to upgrade from and old MyISAM prestashop DB to the new InnoDB DB-structure? I refuse to continue working on MyISAM-tables so I'll have to make the switch somehow, question is how much work will it be. Worst case scenario we'll have to loose old orders, and port customers and products manually ?

That was it! Thanks a lot Carl, you just made my day! The fact that those two things (disabled by default, and moved menu-point) had changed since the beta-release in march had me seriously confused

I've been playing around with the beta (1.5.0.9) and there multistore worked fine (relatively). Today though i pulled the latest SVN-version, and there it seems that the multistore feature has been removed? Is this an intentional step, are you pulling this feature from 1.5 to get it ready for launch? I would appreaciate a comment from the Prestashop team as we're depending on this feature for an upcomming project. I would *hate* to have to go Magento

Spot on FrankvanCaspel! If this isn't Prestashops most time consuming / confusing bug yet i don't know. It solved my problem for 1.4 as well

Personally I tossed Prestashop's notoriously bad imagehandling to sea and currently use http://code.google.com/p/smart-lencioni-image-resizer/ for image-scaling, works like a dream. Lets me call up images like this for instance: Where i can controll, quality, crop-ratio etc from a template-level. Very handy

There is none that I'm aware of / have come across. I've searched and peeked through almost every thread in here But if you`re sure and could point me in the right direction I would certainly appreaciate it. On a sitenote: Am I the only one puzzled over the lack of support for this in the core? I'ts pretty essential/basic stuff

I'm in the process of converting a site from Magento to Prestashop, for performance-reasons. But whats hitting me like a ton of bricks now, is that i discovered Prestashop doesnt deal with subcategories and friendly urls. IE: Out of the box, you can't have yoursite.com/category1/subcategory2/product .. which is.. well, killing the whole purpose of pretty urls. Unless there is something i've missed or misunderstood. Perhaps someone could shed some light on that issue?

I second this wish. I'm in the middle of converting a Magento-powered webshop over to Prestashop for performance-reasons, but the lack of this tidbit is so significant i can not go through with it until a sollution arises. It would kill the SEO-rankings of the page. I mean, this is important stuff - why aren't more people talking about it in the forums? Go go Presta Team

I would very much be interested in this as well. Only thing missing as far as I can see is the possibility to scale the image/box down as rocky mentions further up in this thread. Anyone got any input on this? It's a pretty crucial bit in a cart wanting to be taken seriously

There is nothing wrong with the cropping in Prestashop, it works the way its intended / should. Whats a major flaw though, is the lack of beeing able to scale the images before they're cropped. For perfect thumbnailing (IMHO) these steps should be present: 1. You've assigned width/height-attributes 2. You upload a picture 3. Prestashop scales the image down to best possible fit (be it width or height) 4. You're presented with a cropper that lets you crop away whats overflowing (be it with or height-wise) Don't know about the rest of you guys, but this would be the perfect way for me

Resolved: Well i feel pretty darn stupid at the moment, after pulling out all my hair over the last days I realized i simply forgot to add my custom hooks to header.php

I've got a custom theme, with custom hooks. After upgrading to 1.3.0.1 these hooks doesn't seem to have any effect what so ever in front-office, everything looks fine and dandy in the back-office (and yes, i have copied the altered php/tpl-files to their respective modules-catalogue so the hooks are in place there). Has anyone else encountered this weird issue? I've been at it all day trying to debug this thing, but i can't seem to grasp what is going wrong, where
