>
> I spoke with Will why he has used the data module to define the product
> category hierarchy instead of using a "Product Category" page template to do
> so. The reason why is that he wanted to be able to have localized URL's for
> SEO reasons. In other words, this is a workaround, nothing more, and makes
> understanding and using the shop module unnecessarily complicated.
> Please define a page template "Product Category" and ensure this works the
> same way like now to support localization. In other words, if the page is
> served for German, the URL should contain the German category (== Page Title)
> (currently in addition to the English one but I think we could drop the
> English one in that case)
> If so, this would solve a lot of issues at once:
> # it would be *much* more intuitive to create the product category hierarchy
> # it would allow us to use standard pages & their functionality for instance
> to have a header per product category
> # it would reduce the complexity of the shop configuration interface (because
> the categories move out of the data module)
> # it would make it clear what product categories actually are (i.e. that they
> define the page hierarchy)
> Once implemented, drop the Product Categorization scheme we currently use as
> it would not be needed anymore. Update the product category selection dialog
> for the products to use this page structure instead.
