I have installed v3.0.2 on localhost. I have designed a single product that uses data (from a form in view) from a MYSql DB and returns up to 6 possible results. The user may then select one result and head off to checkout. Basically the form accepts shipping data for courier, calculates weight and shipping town and returns the 6 possible shipping options from data received. The "product" works fine as standalone and is made up of 6 files, namely,
a View file - consisting of HTML/PHP with a form and will also ultimately display the results - I still have to convert to TWIG.
a Model - which interacts with the DB and does the number crunching
a Controller - which GETs form info and converts to usable info - and interacts with the view
3 X Class files made up of Methods which the model uses to interact with the DB etc.
So, now that I have this "calculator" working in a simple MVC (all in one directory) I need to adapt it to the Opencart MVCL structure.
I am just really looking at some ideas for a starting point and some guidance. There will only ever be the one product in the site, so I am most likely going to completely replace the product.php and not use ?OCMOD?
Before I dive into OC, just a gentle nudge in the right direction would really help please.
My previous and very alive site using OC v1.5.4 can be seen at www.ic-express.co.za and is long overdue for an update (our developer has disappeared and hence the development in-house), but uses a very similar concept.
Many thanks in advance.

Thanks for replying, but I specifically didn't place in the developers section as we are attempting to do the project inhouse. I was hoping for a few pointers before diving into OC. I have read a lot about the route and directory structure, but have not found much documentation available on OC.
Outsourcing to a developer is a last resort at this stage, as we would rather obtain the skills inhouse.

Diving into OpenCart is the only way to learn the differences between the versions.
Compare code and change the lines and add some text and variabeles. Most work will go into the template files / code, from php to twig.
A few examples of changes:
When your mod is done by vQmod, change it to OCMod.
Needs just a few changes, like :
And addition of <code> to identify it ...

$this->language->load('product/product'); -> $this->load->language('product/product');
$this->data['breadcrumbs'] = array(); -> $data['breadcrumbs'] = array();

<search position="replace" -> <add position="replace"
<id> -> <name>
For the most recent OC versions, it is more recommended to use the Events than OCMod according to GitHub.When your mod is done by vQmod, change it to OCMod.
