Hi All,

Is anybody using OpenCart in a production environment?

Does anyone have a recommendation on whether OpenCart is production ready yet or not?

It hasn't reached v1.0 yet, of course...

That's terrific!

Can you give links to a few of them?

I assume you mean "I do not pass links"?

That's kinda strange -- wouldn't they want as much traffic as possible?  What if they're selling some goods that I would like to buy!? :-)

some people may not be as excited to share the live shop url's, for security reasons. while i am confident in opencart (my shop is getting close to production ready), i don't intend to make it easy for someone to discover which platform it is running on.

this is probably only one of the reasons for not sharing client sites in a forum such as this.

I would hope that simply knowing that someone is using OpenCart doesn't constitute a security problem... Are there security concerns with OpenCart?

It's not uncommon for software vendors (open source projects included) to have a "showcase" list of sites that use their product.  That's kinda what I'm looking for.

If OpenCart's security is not to the point where such a "showcase" list would be considered "safe" -- well, that worries me.

At any rate, all that aside -- does anyone have some live OpenCart installations up that they'd be willing to share?

sorry, i didn't mean to put anyone off by this. the reality is that opencart is in its infancy, but there are no known vulnerabilities - it is simply a precaution. from what i have seen, the approach follows many security "best practices"!

if users wish to share their sites, the place to post that is in the "Live Shops" section of the forum. i think this is the showcase you are looking for, and there are a few posted there already.

i am just trying to help you understand why client sites may not wish to be posted  8)

alot of times I work 3rd or 4th party... on installs  from where the actual client is...  so to the client I am transparent...  I like it that way ..  saves alot of my phone ringing..  when it hits the fan...    but that becomes apart of the contract of work that I work under.. 

nothing more...
