So I have a bit of a problem planning a large site, I have the potential for 500,000 products (which will of course me a licenced version), but I have a few issues before I take the plunge.

Firstly, not all products will have images or stock to start with, so that poses two problems firstly the no image appearing ALOT !! Secondly, no ability to add the items to a wishlist due to the outofstock buying option being switched off.

Secondly, with the huge number of products, all can appear in at least TWO categories as my structure is as follows:

Club -> Season -> Product item

Arsenal -> 2010/2011 -> Arsenal v Aston Villa

Meaning that product should also appear in

Aston Villa -> 2010/2011 - >  Arsenal v Aston Villa

The above setup means I'm going to have ALOT of categories, I have around 1000 clubs each will have around 100 seasons, meaning a potential for 100,000 categories, which is abit excessive IMO.

My idea would be to include a few product atrributes to each item, Home Team, Away Team, Season

You could then filter search results by choosing ALL Home Team = Arsenal, or ALL Home or Away Team = Arsenal but you could also further filter the results by selecting the season

My results would thenbe easier to navigate, (although I think this may need further coding work ??)

Is anyone available to do some custom work for me ?
