OpenCart and Joomla with JooCart
Posted: Tue Sep 15, 2015 8:10 am
Seems like all the advice here concerning integrating Joomla and OpenCart is ... MY GOD YOU FOOL DON'T DO IT!!!
But I have the situation I have. I have a tech company client and we’re building a new site in Joomla. They explicitly desire an OpenCart implementation within the Joomla environment. We have it *mostly* working using the JooCart extension for Joomla. We however are having a severe issue with locating images/image directories. Been poking at it and applying some kludges, and i think it’s an "under the hood” configuration problem just a bit past my skill set.
But essentially JoomCart can't "see" the image directories, even despite some hacks... The OpenCart Dashboard within JoomCart doesn't really "see" image directories - and Image Manager behaves erratically.
One hack I've attempted it connecting it to a install of OpenCart outside of the Joomla directory with it's own separate database. I can get it to embed the demo store, but some images work, others don't.
I am thinking that there is some config file I could/should mod to get JooCart to "see" the image directories paths - but I haven't found (or am able to identify) it.
Any insights?
