Great News for OpenCart v.1.5.x Users !

A whole Bunch of 18 FREE and responsive OpenCart v.1.5.x Themes have been released just recently by panforest.net.

All free responsive Themes by Panforest.net:
https://www.opencart.com/index.php?rout ... forest.net

All the Themes are very simple to install and use, None of them ADD's anything anywhere else.
Just upload the Theme Sub into the Theme Folder, and after 'setting' a chosen Theme as DEFAULT
in the Admin Section, it just works! :D

According to the Contributor, the Themes have all functionalities of a normal opencart default Theme.

All Extensions by Panforest.net:
[urlhttps://www.opencart.com/index.php?route=market ... forest.net[/url]

Features :
• Responsive themes
• Compatible with the most common browsers: FireFox 1.5-3.5.6+, IE9+, Safari 3.2 +, Opera, Google Chrome
• Compatible with Open Cart Version v1.5.5.x, v1.5.6.x
• Designed with luxurious colors.
• Suitable for any kind of eCommerce shop
• Supports multiple languages, multiple currencies
• SEO Friendly
• Well documented for installation

Be aware:
• Product Image Settings are not ALL created responsive by DEFAULT! (But this can be added easy!)
• Some CSS Style Adjustments may be required, to place Stuff, to stay away a little from page sides, visually !

Themes are free for download as they come, and not supported!
(But this should not be a big Problem, after all... ;) )
---
First Test Results:
They look good, and they should serve well, after playing around a little in the CSS Stylesheets, to make them look a little more 'clean' on the left/right Sides! :D

All Themes can be seen here, just use the Theme Switcher, to switch between the different Themes:
http://www.bigmax.ch/

I have just installed all of them, and made no Tests, really. But it's great News, to have so much Choices,
all of a sudden, to mock up existing OC v.1.5.x based Versions to yet be fully responsive! And so far, they all installed and work fully error free!

Good Luck :D
Ernie

PS: Be aware, that IMAGES are NOT responsive in all those free Themes, therefore, do not define images over 500px max.width size, of they will not be visible in full, if minimum Browser/Smartphone Resolution View is planned to be below this Value.

Be aware, that, if you already have another 'Contributor' Custom Theme installed, you may experience slight Problems, i.E., with a distorted Category Pagination Section, due to possibly some System/Controller/e.t.c., - Settings, created / modified by certain other responsive Theme-Extensions, offered by some Theme-Contributors. Such Custom Themes usually also contain Subs, VqMod's, and/or Files, placed outside of the Theme Sub, just to mention this.

In such a Case, you should de-activate all MODULE / VQMOD Functions, related with the possibly problemsome other Custom Theme, installed, before trying out one of the Themes, mentioned here.

But since those mentioned here all are created 'equal', technically, and don't use any VqMod's, System- or Controller-Files, other than the DEFAULT One's, they will NOT harm each other in any way, in case, you upload multiple of them at once !

Just to mention this, I had those Problems, because I had two other, different THEME-BRANDS installed already, when I started my Tests. But the OC DEFAULT THEME is no Problem anyway, by Nature of Things! :D

See the Image, with the Category Section, displaying such a Problem.

updated, since initial Posting only included 18 Themes, therefore, I added the additional Themes Image added, to complete this, kind of! :D

Be aware, that I have NOT modified most of those free Themes, to 'present' their Content in the best possibly way, they usually just look, as they come, by default. ;)

Just to update this Topic: At present, I am testing 44 free responsive OpenCart v.1.5.6.x Themes, wich I found,
all of them EASY installable by Use of one only Replacement Shop/System/Engine/controller.php File,
required by some of the Themes, to enable some required category Child Operations.

Source File replaced by some of the Theme-Uploads in Opencart:
openshop.li/cart/system/engine/controller.php

I mention this, because other free (and paid) responsive Themes for OC v.1.5.6.x possibly add quite
a lot of Coding to existing Shop Software, and some Custom Theme Code, usually placed in XML Files,
may possibly collide with other Themes, resulting in many different kinds of errors, all over the place.
By nature of things, only, if one would decide, to have Visitors freely selecting their favoured Theme ! :D

The Themes shown in Action have not yet been manipulated on any way, but anyone of them has some
little fault, visually, so, prepare to do a little CSS Coding here and there, to make it all look just SWELL!
But since they all come for free, there is for sure no good reason to complain !

And for those, looking for an original OC-2 responsive Theme for OC v.1.5.6.x, just check here, to see,
how this looks:
http://www.velomech.ch/

Other, more complicated Themes will be shown on another Site, whenever I am finished, sorting out,
what's really usable, and easy to manage.

Good Luck ;)

PS. I partly fixed a slight distortion, in Mobile View Mode, when the Category Selector 'Link Area'
keeps the other Header Links from beeing functionable. Soon, I will have all themes displayed updated. ;)

I must admin, I was very impressed, after I stumbled by accident over this
beautyfull Extension. It's does not come for free, still, it's worth of beeing mentioned! ;)

Circloid - Responsive OpenCart Admin Theme
Circloid is a retina-ready and responsive Admin theme for OpenCart.
It’s a complete redesign of the default theme but does not overwrite it.
It uses vQmod, so nothing is overwritten on your site.
OpenCart:: v1.5.1.3.1 – v1.5.6 - v2.0.X.X
Browsers:: IE8/9+, Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Opera
Custom Admin Pages:: Shoppica2, Journal
Works with IE8/9+, Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Opera.

can be tested here:
http://codecanyon.net/item/circloid-res ... me/6480072

Teated on my latest OC v.1.5.6.5_rc with OpenShop v.1.71 Admin Extension and 70+ VqMod's
installed, without doing anything to it's configuration yet, with ONE SINGLE MINOR error
Undefined index: chart_order_status in ...vq2-admin_controller_common_home.php line 421
I love it!

Likely overlooked, but not less important, if someone needs to handle Product SPECIALS on a larger Scale:

Image

Special Product's Manager OC v.1.5.6.4:

Authors Comment:
In the admin account, an extension, just to manage special products (ended, or disabled).
After install it the admin will see the list of special products, and edit the product settings.
1. Unzip installation package to your local computer.
2. Upload admin + vqmod folders to the OpenCart root directory.
4. Go to your OpenCart admin panel.
5. Go to System > User Groups and set right permissions to - module/special_manager
6. Go to Extensions > Modules. install Special Manager then go to catalog > Special Manager.

Download here:
https://www.opencart.com/index.php?rout ... n_id=19191

And this Version has the 'OSWorX bugfix' for the ugly DEFAULT v.1.5.6.x Admin Product Page
Tab-related View-Problem already built in. It's required here, regardless of, if you have it installed
as VqMod already, to only FIX the regular Admin Product Edit View.

Just to mention it, in no way related with the Author! ;)

For OC v.1.5.6.x Users, I have managed to create a most simplified Version of the famous MaxD
OpenShop 1.71 TWEAKS Admin VqMod Manager Extension, a modified Version of the basic
legendary VqModerator. There are some leftover 'parts' in it, still, but they are of no
importance to the function. Just to mention this !(for Coders!) :D

It does not require MaxD's 'OpenShop Admin Extension' installation , and can be used as simple Module,
linked to the Admin Menu Section by use of a VqMod.

It uses NO visible TABS, if an error exists, the Error TAB appears in the Top Section of the Layout,
explaining in details, what went wrong. In addition, error-VqMod's are marked, showing the amount of errors.

And if one cares, to make some VqMod's invisible, on the Front Screen, one can 'hide' those VqMod's easy,
and so clear out the Front View Screen from unneeded Information. It then displays a message, how many
VqMod's are visually 'hidden', combined with a Function, to make ALL VqMod's visible on the Screen.
