Now I have a concern about a possible redistribution of my work under someone else's name. Namely my (rmg) OC 1.5 Estonian translation. The other guy, deffex, started selling the same mod after buying it from me. Furthermore, he updated the translation to support OC 1.5.1.3 after I had updated it, so he very well could have gotten the changes from my update.
So, my question is, to whom should I speak to about this concern. I wouldn't want to waste the money and buy his version of the translation just to check if he really has changed or added something that my version does not have. There must be a better solution to this.

It is assumed updates are included free if you upload the file to the same mod. If you want to charge someone for an update, best to create a new product for that versionbull5-i wrote:I have a question about the working of the extension store from the client side.
If someone buys a paid extension that has several downloads, then can they download all the files and how many times?
What happens when the author updates an existing download or adds a completely new one? Can the buyer later redownload the newly added files?
- You can now choose to Send an alert email to previous purchasers when you push out a new version or update your extension.
It currently just sends a static email out informing the buyers that an update has been made and they should download the latest version, linking them to the extension page.
For the next step, I'd like to add a small message field to allow you to add details about the change. But I'm off to bed for now.

1. I just updated one of mine today, and it sent me four copies of the update e-mail. Any idea why?
2. I received an update notice for PayPal Express, which I've never purchased, to an e-mail address that's not registered in the OpenCart store. (You can PM me if you want to know which one.) Just confused as to how I got on that list with a different e-mail address.
Right now when I impose a question for a module or extension the user forum does not inform me when a new response has been posted. I have to manually check every single day and forget about other questions I have made to other users.
This would help a lot considering there are so many different modules/extensions right now!!
Yea.. I'm not checking the order status field, and I'm also not removing duplicates. I grab the buyer email from the order table, forgetting that some people click "Buy License" but never go through with it.. so its just a temp order.Johnathan wrote:Two small issues:

Tho I will say... as a result.. people who were "on the fence" like that are getting my update emails and with the todays update of split categories, I got 4 sales from that one...maybe due to the people who almost bought but didn't, and this update reminded them.... So bug turned feature almost
But I'll fix it... I guess.
Hmm...that does seem kind of handy. Maybe an idea for the future would be to be able to subscribe to an extension, so you would know when it is updated even if you haven't bought it.

You'd have to have someone manually going through every extension that's uploaded. While that is possible, I doubt you're going to find anyone volunteering to do that for free. That's what the comments for the extension are for -- post a comment that instructions are not included, and give it a one-star rating until they are included. That doesn't really fix the problem, but if everyone was doing this consistently then it would happen less often.adi_555 wrote:I think opencart owners should put a mandatory validation check on what the developer is uploading. I have seen so many cases where the developer has missed some files or no instruction. This is very bad especially when there is a scheduled installation and then we just have to wait until the developer reverts!
You can also report the mod.. after 5 reports it auto-disables the extension and emails me to manually check it.. I get quite a few emails per month and not a single false positive.Johnathan wrote:You'd have to have someone manually going through every extension that's uploaded.
