OpenCart Community

Please folks, just hold on .. for a short while
Things are going forward, but they need a while - especially if the result can be a good one.

A Fork is, in most cases, a waist of time.

Or there must be a lot of coders and supporters behind it to make it work.

Look at the Forks from osCommere, in most cases they are even worse.

I repeat from what I have been saying from day 1 that I stumbled on OpenCart, more focus on the project and it users and less ego.

The time that Qphoria ran the 1.4 branch things did get better.

As previously mentioned, if you want to start a fork, all the best of luck to you. I'll be deleting all of the posts regarding it in this thread as they don't contribute towards this discussion. If you want to open a new thread and link to it here then do so, but this is not the place to be having this discussion

am I crazy or drunk? two posts disappeared... about OpenCart CE

No, irrelevant posts to the release of OpenCart 2.0.2.0 were deleted. See my post above

well say something relevant:
- what changed and why
- bugs fixing
- where to go?

Firstly, I'm not part of the opencart development team - I'm a forum moderator so I don't need to give any of the details you've asked for. Secondly, the only way I'd know those details is the same way you would - if they were given by the developers or if I went through all the github repository. This thread is to let people know that 2.0.2 has been released. It's not a discussion area for forking OpenCart and creating CE versions. I think I've been pretty clear about that a couple of times now but I'm repeating it yet again. If you want to do that open a new thread as I've mentioned

I agree it might not be the place to discuss forking or other projects. Granted

However is important for those who read the 2.0.2.0 Available now to know is not a usable build.

And yes we all waiting for the developers to pick up the pace and start to deploy the fixes that the community been trying so hard to pinpoint.

If that message comes across, all good!

I completely agree. Information related to the release is welcome, but lengthy conversations about creating a fork and how to go about it is off topic and of no relevance to the large portion of people this thread is intended for

Pretty much! lol

The current process to upgrade OpenCart in 2.0.x is too complex, but it is an extremely crucial and vital component for any e-commerce platform to be successful. If all the hard work goes into creating the bug fixes, improvements, and new implementations, then there should be a quick and easy way to upgrade your OpenCart and receive them.

Then you have seen not so many, XTCommerce for example!

I know them, 6 years ago they where just another osCommerce Fork, nothing special.

All the Forks moved towards something new; if they still would be based upon their initial software then they would not have come this far.

But this is not about Forks.

This is about the fact that OpenCart, yet again, failed it users and supporters with the way 2.x is handled.

If what you mean is, issues and bug fixes posted on Github are "closed" without any relevant feedback, yes thats anoying.

I just had one myself NOW. Closed. Thats it.

I would rather have a line saying
"THIS is not a bug. You are an idiot" or "I cant replicate, expand" or "cant be assed to fix this now".

Any of the above gives closure. "Closed" gives nothing

I do hope us to have some cool developments in very near future.

Then it will be a case of, carry on or change, dealers choice!

Here's one, so you can have your closing:

"It is closed! Nothing more, nothing less! What else do you want?! Stop waisting my time!"
