As the title says Prestashop has won the ecommerce category of the Open Source awards with OpenCart and TomatoCart (eh?) coming in second and third.

I'm quite surprised that Magento wasnt in the top three.

I looked at tomato cart just the other day. I thought EH? as well when I saw it but it did look quite promising.

Interesting!

I would seriously consider presta if it accepted and ran Zen EZpops with no fiddling required, also it would need to be able to create ezpop files that would run on zen.... guess that probably won't happen lol

Why would you need it to run and create easypopulate files?

Im guessing for customers sakes, means they can carry on using zencart and the csv files will still work on their own sites  thumbs up

although there will be a way round that, maybe a wee hand written script to convert a presta csv into a zen EP compatable one

Theres already a couple of decent stock exporters for Prestashop, would just be a matter of altering the headers that are exported in the csv file and making sure that the headers are in the correct order.

Anyone got an example csv?

thats what I was thinking, shouldnt be too hard to write a wee script to convert the headers in the csv and reorder it, I'll have to have a wee bash at creating one

Shouldnt need to create a script Seamus, as the export module can have the column order defined before you export.  The column titles is a bit different, would have to edit the php file directly.

high level coder it is tough for beginners that is the reason behind this

Magento is a heavy cumbersome choice, that may be why it wasnt in the top 3 ;)
