Hi folks,
is there any info on How many Categories and Products OC can handle?

I'm doing a little "pro bono" project, where the Categories are Countries, States and Regions. Products would be things people offer to help with.
So I'll end up having lots of Sub-Categories with lots of people(products). The people and what they do will be added, but won't have a category assigned but rather added as "related to this products" so you can find them trough a search, but not in the navigation.
I can see the backend getting pretty crowded, for which I'll have to find a solution and I'm getting a bit worried whether OC is the right choice in the long run?

I'm looking at around 20Categories with up to 30Sub-Categories and around 1800-2200 people(products)!?

Cheers

I think Opencart should handle this number of products and categories quite easily. I have done Opencart-based sites of similar size for other customers in the past.

I had a guy in america add 100,000 products. It ran slow but it worked. You just need to add more caching.

Thanks, sounds good

Do you see a quick way to make the new "Related Products" feature working both ways?
I just couldn't get Henrys contrib vor 1.1.8. to work with 1.2.6 (worked with 1.2.5 after altering it here and there)

Pointing me the right way would be very helpful, as I'll have to do many, many "Related Products"

Thanks for everything!

Cheers

You could edit the file /admin/model/catalog/product.php so as to make sure each time a product gets added or updated it will enter the related products in both ways.

Hi,

Please move your discussion concerning "Related Products" to http://forum.opencart.com/viewtopic.php ... 767#p18115 so more people will see it and you make get more help on the subject.
