This extension adds various improvements to the OpenCart admin panel. The following new features and fixes are included:

• Extensions > Extensions: Changes the extension selector on the extension sub-area pages to show all options at once, for quicker navigation.
• Extensions > Extensions: Hides the promotional banner in OpenCart 3.0.
• Extensions > Modifications: Adds the ability to edit ocMod files (for OpenCart 2.x and 3.0).
• Extensions > Modifications: Automatically refreshes your ocMod cache whenever a mod is enabled, disabled, edited, or deleted (for OpenCart 2.x and 3.0).
• Extensions > Modifications: Clears the log before refreshing, preventing it from becoming gigantic and slowing down the page loading (for OpenCart 2.x and 3.0).
• Extensions > Modifications: Adds a fix for errors sometimes generated when refreshing the ocMod cache on a localhost Mac installation (for OpenCart 2.x and 3.0).
• Sales > Customers: Allows for partial E-mail matches when searching.
• Sales > Customers: Adds a link for each customer to view their orders, based on the customer name.
• System > Maintenance > Error Logs: Expands the error log window to show more rows.
• System > Maintenance > Error Logs: Suppresses unnecessary "unlink" errors.
• System > Maintenance > Error Logs: Adds error logging for PHP Fatal Errors that normally result in generic "Internal Server 500" error messages (for OpenCart 2.2 and later).
