OpenCart v1.5.0 RC1

If I knew that 99% of the people who were using IE6 were on pirated copies of Windows then yeah, I would refuse to develop for it. Good thing i'm not a developer though, so all the pirates can rest easy.

I think this conversation is pointless though, Daniel strikes me as the type of person that once he gets something in his head, it's hard to convince him otherwise, therefore I'm sure IE6 will continue to be supported (however unfortunate it may be).

I just wanna thank everyone that takes their time and effort to make Open Cart to what it is today (and tomorrow).

Thank You!

You'd also be out of business pretty quickly if you only developed products that 1% of your market could use! haha

Hi Jason,
I reported this as a minor bug in the SVN bug forum here http://forum.opencart.com/viewtopic.php ... 20#p156550

JasonSGN wrote:When successfully adding items to your shopping cart, the yellow "attention" bar displays at the top. I've adjusted lines 326 and 328 in catalog\view\theme\default\template\product\product.tpl, but that doesn't change effect when adding items from the Best Seller, Featured, Latest or Specials Modules.

Using svn293.

Just to let you know, you also need to change the 'attention' part in certain places to 'success' in the catalog/view/javascript/common.js file as well

I installed 1.5 to test OpenCart. I really like it but I now realize it's far from prime time. I have already set up a quite simple store (couple of products and options) and I am wondering what pathway you suggest to go back to a fully supported version? I have no templates.

Also based on past experience when do you think might be ready for prime time?

Thanks

Thank you!!! I was looking all over for that.

Well if my market were Asian pirates or corporations too lazy to get off IE6 then yeah I guess you're right. Good thing I don't cater to those markets.

I hope you didn't erase your 1.4 shop and try to start from fresh with 1.5. If not you can just download 1.4.9.5 and start from fresh with that. If you deleted your 1.4 shop thinking 1.5 was going to be ready...well, have fun setting your 1.4 shop up all over again. Hopefully you made backups of your database and modified files.

But I asked my Magic 8-Ball and it said "Outlook not so good"

I hear you Magic 8-Ball. I'm no Microsoft fan either

Don't mean to come across as arrogant, i am not really familiar with all aspects associated with opencart history and functionality. But I am about to decide on the shopping cart for my business and i just can't rely on a system that is developed by 1.5 guys and point releases take months to get out.
I think i am going with prestashop. their addons are a bit more expensive, but i just can't wait anymore for the latest stable system.

The latest STABLE release is 1.4.9.5!

You think that the latest release of PS is stable?
Ever looked ad PS and their bloated releases and their crappy way of templating?

You all seem to forget that OpenCart is FREE, instead of complaining maybe a donation for all the hard work until now is more appropriate.

Personally I really care less if people with an attitude like yours leave.

i2paq, Well said, i have actually tried PS and compared to OC its rubbish, i also totally agree with donations, all the developers of opencart do this in there OWN time, they dont get paid for it, and all i see on these forums is people moaning for a release date, the people who keep asking need to wake up and respect all the developers... they have put alot of man hours into this project and need to be left alone to finish it.

i agree it. thank you OC team.

I agree, but i2paq always wants to make a moral to others.
I do not put more in this forum. ,,, just waiting for new releases

I think it's funny how people think the developers of OC are doing it solely from the goodness of their hearts.

Wake up people, Daniel makes money from advertisements on this site. He makes money from the extensions store. I'm sure he charges professional fees when providing more in depth support for those that need more power out of OpenCart and require his service. Not to mention, at some point down the road, if OC keeps growing like it is, then it will probably get venture capitalist backing, or Daniel will just sell it and live the high life in Hong Kong.

Speaking of Hong Kong, it's ranked the 9th most expensive city in the world to live in. London is ranked the 17th. Considering Daniel just moved from London to Hong Kong, well, he must be doing something right with OC.

Q has some of the best made extensions around for OpenCart. I'm pretty sure he's making a decent living from his extension sales. Not to mention he probably does private development too for people who need custom work.

Don't misunderstand me, I appreciate the developers of OpenCart and all they do to make it that much better than the rest, but I'm also not delusional. I know they are not doing it simply "for fun" any longer. I think it's funny there are people who actually think the developers get no financial gain from OC and simply make it so the rest of us can make money.

Oh yeah, what happened to the 1.5 bug threads? Are they being merged together now with the 1.4 bug threads?

Dear all,

another one that is rather annoyed with the attitude of some forum thought police!

great system great cart...
commend the hard work of the project owner and the q man,

as for the other opencart thought police, please change your attitude, the users of opencart have and do wait very patiently, we commend the developers and the owner who do spend a lot of their own time on this.

YES WE KNOW IT IS FREE,
YES WE KNOW IT IS THE BEST OUT THEIR
YES WE KNOW PS IS CRAP


That is why we wait for the latest opencart. We are all fans of this, but please, please less attitude by the opencart support thought police.

Let Daniel and Q finish it, they are doing this for free, AND THEY ARE DOING A GREAT JOB!
Lets get better communications in place
Lets get better roadmaps/updated timelines in place
Allow the community to express an opinion, don't keep knocking them.

Shit hot product! 5 STAR!
Fantastic Owner/development team
Poor structures though (biggest weakness, i have noticed)
Keep the opencart thought police in check!!

Lets get thing ready and right.

thanks to all who contribute in a positive manner.

If you look at what's changed I think you'll agree that 1.5.0 is MUCH more than a simple point release. Yes it probably should have been called 2.0, but that's irrelevant. If you want to see how long a true point release takes to come out look at at the 1.4.9 series. The times are much more reasonable. I would say that 1.5 is more like whatever the next version of zen everyone has been waiting on for years now, and certainly much more than the minor changes that oscommerce just got after what 4 years?
