I have been here for over half a year now, and i love using opencart, such good fun.
I have always noticed the opencart.com frontend site and was curious if this is working on the opencart framework but very customised o work as a cms.
Basically spending so long with opencart now i really want to use the framework as a cms and just turn off all the cart options (until needed as a client wants the chance to possibly combine a shop) maybe wont even use the cart options.
I have seen extensions that are blog...cms which i will get but just curious on what people think on this idea and if someone can tell me what opencart.com use, as it is very nice and love to know!
Many thanks
Chris

Why do I know this? Because I use the BackOffice when creating documentation and it looks exactly like the OpenCart cart BackOffice

You can consider OC as an MVC framework. It is designed as such plus an admin section with functionality you need.
Actually, the admin and catalog folders are independent and you can create a site as a 'catalog' by using the catalog folder structure and use and admin to manage the content.
Just strip off the e-commerce areas and you can consider the products as pages or articles, that way, you can use the product page as the CMS container. Or create pages via the 'information' pages.
That's the beauty of OC - it has modular architecture on top of an MVC later.
It is themeable, have lots of additional modules/plugins, an active community and open-source.
I actually did some sites based on this.
http://videowatchr.com - themes + model class to fetch youtube rss feeds
http://explorephilippines.org - themes + articles are 'products'
Hope it helps.

Most answers are from my OpenCart 1.5 User Manual CURRENT TO 1.5.5.1 and includes free updates.

Pretty much all down to the the creators, and the mods giving really useful info out on here, but massively the community, the community on here is fantastic!
Where i just said:
This is pretty much down to JCSMITHY, who i had met on the forums, his creativeness and talent in this field has blown me away, and his support hes given to me on OC, is just, well First class!"Can this and that be done?" and 95% of the time it can.
Know a bit off the topic, but worth a mention! He's probably thinking why is he is still on here too(supposed to be on my holiday this week!, lol)]
Again thanks Merry for the insight, and keeping this subject alive

Been out of the forums for a long time...
I've been using OC's MVC framework on my apps for some time now.
Please take a look at an example here - http://videowatchr.com
Got no problem with it and performs well.
Have to remove some of those related to the cart functionality as well as most of the DB tables.
On the CMS side - you can use the existing information pages as a basis since it has already an HTML
editor, or, you can tweak the product pages too..
