to Xcart,
Please try to consolidate number of javascript and css files. There are far too many in in previous versions and significantly affect performance. Just compressing them is not sufficient.

Or can someone tell me what tpl controls that feature. I have been searching and can not find it.

In skin/common_files/customer/main/product tpl it checks if the tabs are on or off.

{if $product_tabs}
{if $show_as_tabs}
{include file="customer/main/ui_tabs.tpl" prefix="product-tabs-" mode="inline" tabs=$product_tabs}
{else}
{foreach from=$product_tabs item=tab key=ind}
{include file=$tab.tpl}
{/foreach}
{/if}
{/if}


That code will then load the tab contents into tabs or not into tabs using those two .tpls

Will there be any other skins added to 4.4 upon release?

Can anyone recommend a place to purchase new skins from that will work with 4.4?

(Budget is too tight for custom work at this time and I can only do minor cosmetic changes)

Number 1 priority for either x-cart 4.4 final or x-cart 5 needs to be front end speed, please don't bog it down with too many features (as long as the features can be turned completely on or off that's great).

Since googles announcement on site speed, server resources and reducing file downloads need to be at the top of that agenda.

X-cart at times can be extremely heavy (ever compared x-cart 3.5.X to any x-cart 4 branch for front end speed and server resources on a larger site?)

I'm all for tweaks and fluffy dice but for selling online, speed and ability to service more connections for growing sites is a must.

QT are a very smart bunch, you know the less individual files, css, simpler display nesting is better it is for both browser rendering, download, download connections, mysql connections.

At times x-cart can feel as if it's like a B52 bomber (it's big and can do alot but carries too much load to go at the speed it should) rather than a stealth fighter (super fast gets the job done in a blink uses less space, less fuel etc).

Im curious with x-cart 4.4 verus x-cart 5. Will all the module features be ready and compatible for an x-cart 5 upgrade? You're giving alot in the base package but if x-cart 5 doesn't support all the same functions how will upgrades be handled?
Give us realy optimisation options to speed up the front end and reduce the files in the final versions please! Pretty please!

You must of missed this:
http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2010/04/using-site-speed-in-web-search-ranking.html

"We encourage you to start looking at your site's speed (the tools above provide a great starting point) — not only to improve your ranking in search engines, but also to improve everyone's experience on the Internet."

Speed is a factor, right now it is not a major factor but it is a factor.

Not the topic of this thread - but you have a means to start evaluating and commenting/questioning v5: see this and this.
