Yeah, I like how they say, "AbanteCart is not a copy or fork of any other project."daydreamer wrote:Sorry to butt in but has anyone seen thisguess its based on open cart but they have completely restructured it, download and take a look.
I'd never trust someone who's not honest about their origins.

Looks like a modified version of OpenCart 1.4.9.x.
Export/Import Tool * SpamBot Buster * Unused Images Manager * Instant Option Price Calculator * Number Option * Google Tag Manager * Survey Plus * OpenTwig
It has an extensions feature which is whole files based, probably same philosophy as Kohana.Qphoria wrote:I will say... It does have some nice new features
However, it also supports hooks which in the long run could reduce the need for VQmod.

Agreed with Q, it has some nice features. This is the answer I got when I asked him about why they say it's not based on opencart.
Hello Marvin,
We did not copied Opencart, although we stated on our site, that our MVC code base is made similar to opencart to make opencart developers be familiar with our system right away. This is intentional to allow quicker migration of extensions and data.
If you look at AbanteCart core code, you will notice that it is totally different in architecture and concepts.
Our project was in design and development for 2 years and we have developed core concepts that are totally different from opencart or any other cart in fact.
Please check code and concepts closely and please do not make quick assumptions.
Regards,
Pavel

Not copied opencart 
they have taken open cart and rebranded it with a horrible looking admin although there are some great features.

Oh please...
Almost ALL of the front-end routes (product/category, product/manufacturer, account/login, account/account, etc.) and back-end routes (catalog/category, catalog/product, sale/customer, sale/contact, report/sale, report/viewed, etc.) are exactly the same. Not to mention, here's the install.txt files:
OPENCART
ABANTECART
And they didn't copy that? I'm not saying they didn't add some great features, but to claim not to be based on OpenCart (even if it's radically altered) is laughable.

I was thinking the name was: AbandonedCart
Just a cheap rip-off and they do not even admit it....

It should say:AbanteCart is based on MVC model that is used by some other projects. AbanteCart controllers are similar to OpenCart
AbanteCart is based on MVC model that is used by OpenCart, this is done intentional so we can get quicker support from their forums if we have issues.

Only the time will confirm if this spinoff will stay alive, but is a good start point to collect good new features for the OpenCart, I liked specially the quick options at catalog > products in admin panel, but not liked the colors and the big icons.
I did not compare all file to file but I see some similarity in code. What I noticed different is totaly different architecture and core structure as well as different UI.
Some one said here "opencart MVC", MVC is not opencart concept and commonly used by many modern app. developers.
I donot think, we can call abantecart a copy of opencart although i like opencart a lot and use it for 2 year now.
Abantecart has engine on it is own and even if they copied some controllers it does not qualify to be a fork project.
I see alot of small bits of code copied from project to project in many other places. Programming in bloks is very popular due to efficiency.
Let's be hornets, even if abantecart cart did take some code and said that they fork it would not make anybody more happier on this forum.
Code will be copied and improved by others all the time, that is what makes community projects better at the end.

I do have to say that look very very very similar......

no guys. it's not spin off. i looked inside of this stuff. They have own, let's to say unique structure and approach.
On my sight all done great. Extensions stored in separate folders and installs very quick and clear. You can install it by file upload or directly from server by net. With core upgrades the same. Input key (or click link from message) and upgrade will start automatically with auto backup before.
I think it's very very interesting project, but it's not opencart fork. They are different.
