This extension will give you additional product pages for your store, including All Products, Bestsellers, Coming Soon, Featured, Latest, Popular, and Recently Updated pages. You can add the links for these new pages to any template file, and simple instructions are included to add "View All" links to the corresponding Bestseller, Featured, and Latest modules.

  • Upload and go — modifies no core files.
  • Take advantage of the built-in extension updater. All that's required is to enter your current license key and click "Update".
  • Compatible with most custom themes. (Note: This extension is NOT compatible with BurnEngine.)
  • Set the heading, description, number of products per page, number of pages, and image size for each page type.
  • Choose whether to hide out of stock products, individually for each page.
  • Displays as many products as you want. This allows you set modules to limit the number of products they display, while still making available a full list of their corresponding products.

Updated to v300.1

Due to limitations in the opencart.com license system, a new extension was released on opencart.com for OpenCart 3.0 compatibility. However, free updates are still available for anyone that has purchased the extension in July 2016 or after --- just contact Clear Thinking here: http://www.getclearthinking.com/contact

Release Notes:
- NOTE: Due to OpenCart 3 requirements, the URLs for the extra product pages have changed. Make sure you update any links you have with the old versions. You can find the new URLs in the instructions.txt file, or the admin panel.

- Added: compatibility with OpenCart 3.0.0.x - 3.0.1.x
- Added: admin panel page to set various settings for each page type
- Added: ability to change the template file used for product rendering

- Removed: compatibility with OpenCart 1.5.x and 2.0.0.0 for new versions
- Removed: vQmod file since OpenCart 3 requires ocMod for the cloud, and the edits within the mod file are already detailed in the instructions.txt file
