Tell that Daniel!

once i offered to add some free/paid mods in release to save time and make opencart is real one, but i think it's more "ide" for amazon/e-bay integration.

multi store/domain are in stone age:
- cannot setup modules per store (i did it by myself)... i might be wrong
- no transactional database for big db (that's one of the reason people get 'mysql is gone')
- copy/paste in mail, api...
- session on cookies :-( - crossdomains does not work (NONSSL - one domain, SSL - different or subdomain)

etc. i think everybody will be happy, less problems with mods

I cant but keep wondering, when will 2.0.2 ready for real world deployment!

that would be nice, but there is a difference between showing your skills and make something for others...
- language - everybody knows
- ocmod still not working
- ftp is required, wordpress and jumla are not required this
- paypal express is still losing a logo, promised that it was fixed
- changed settings... pass $this to Mail() constructor...

Why open cart not offer category based product at homepage module built in

Also why there is no free marketplace option in open cart?

Why oc_order_download table was removed ?

looking at 2.02 and 2.2 (beta/rc): guys have no clear idea where they are moving... it should be 'alpha' not rc
- adding/removing within week(s) 'minimum' in contollers/templates, good idea, but it's gone
- flushing in toilet most ocmods by changing how it works
.. and more

there is only question: what's the hell?

Free to a song by Frank Sinatra:

That's life, that's what people say
You're riding high in April,
Shot down in May

In this case: That's Opencart....

in this case "Road To Hell" will better fit situations... In Russian, usually say something like: "they are like a shit on the water"... no direction, chaos...

No, unfortunetaly only Daniel.

Daniel seems to live in his own world but, he is more Clue, not Creator... he put not bad MVC engine under the hood, but right now, there is no documentations about new features, he implement them for his own needs... Version 2.0 was promising... 2.0.1 - all we new was upside-down, 2.0.2 - oh my god, 2.0.2.1(neta/rc) - ... shit, changed again... focused only openbay/amazon...

The problem for OpenCart is the number of e-commerce solutions is growing. This type of development cycle is not sustainable long term.

ocMod's documentation is incomplete and erroneous, it has backward compatibility breaks without warning, and it's painfully slow and tedious to develop with (I can create a small website with Silex in the time it takes to write and test an ocMod script with modest functionality). And that's just a fraction of the issues facing OpenCart.

If OpenCart was a decent piece of software with an active developing community, it wouldn't matter.

make a pause... look around what other guys added (for free)... add to the core, stop using copy/paste to multiply bugs... and it will be good again.

i have, personally, two production servers with 2.0.* (heavy modified) installed, but getting tired...

OpenCart looks as gene pig for another project... I might be wrong, but bigCommerce (sorry if i misspelled) looks in structure/logic/design so familiar.

too many solutions is not always bad...

For anyone who uses ocMod, there's been an unpublished backwards compatibility break. Dynamic pathing using braces will no longer work. The new method is using comma delimited full paths. So code like:

Code: Select all

<file path="system/{engine,library}/{action,loader,config,language}.php">

must be updated to:

Code: Select all

<file path="system/engine/action.php,system/engine/loader.php,system/library/config.php,system/library/language.php">

Can you make a post about this and pin it? Because if you assume everything is "how it should be" you would be blind to the problem..

Please don't ever expect that with OpenCart

Okay, I'm listening and I care. Why do devs stick with OpenCart instead of another e-commerce?

Because clients stick to OpenCart.

ii can do something for my own two sites, but if i tell my client that opencart was a wrong choice for three his stores, i would have to look for another client :-(

... and the ideas were/are not too bad:
- multi-domain/store (still only idea)
- most of standard features such as coupons, discounts, guest checkout, etc. build-in
