When connected, LC v3 transparently integrates its pages and storefront blocks into Drupal so that they look like other "regular" Drupal pages and blocks. You can see how it looks like on the LiteCommerce's official website (it is build on Drupal integrated with LC v3).Thanks!Vyacheslav Petrov LC3 team Hi!

I need a middle of the road application that does 80% of possible features. I don't need the 80% complexity to get the 20% extras. That rules out Magento and osCommerce types.I've narrowed my choice down to Virtuemart and Presto Shop. Some reviews say these are limited to about 200 items. I need about 500. Is anyone running these applications with 500+ items???It's difficult to figure out whether Virtuemart is better than Prestoshop. I currently favour Virtuemart because it's free. A useful review.

It's gnu/gpl available from sourceforge.net expanding the possibilities of the original framework into new areas.http://sourceforge.net/projects/i-metrics-cms/It is extremely light, very easy to learn and it is expandable, suitable for both novice and advanced web-developers. Additional functionality can be achieved from the plugins manager that operates separately from the main core. Only a handful of files control the layout of website front, making template integration trivial. Multi-site administration is integrated and the package can accommodate dynamically active scripting via the jQuery.
