Despite the popular opinion above there are plenty of people willing to help you in Opencart with Journal on this board. I'm a user myself , and glad to help where I can.
and so says the man with 50 post in four years
sorry but that was funny ..
And pretty much all of those posts are *requesting* help rather than giving it.
So @Jaesin would do well to respect the opinion of the experienced developers here that Journal is to be avoided and is generally unsupported on this forum as described in detail here:
viewtopic.php?t=157098
Ahh, true... but I was helpful.
Now the term you mentioned of "Generally Unsupported" (to me) does not mean lets run to shut down ANYONE that mentions Journal immediately and deter them from ever using OpenCart again.... or perhaps everyone feels that WooCommerce and Shopify can use another customer?
The shaming (sorry, I mean the opinions of respected developers) posted towards Journal users on this board has likely pushed more people away from OpenCart then to embrace it. Newcomers who don't even know where to start when they have nothing but a dream of having a business and no money to support it start with Journal, the number of sales prove that versus any other theme prove that. Now those with a bit more understanding like myself when it comes to support pays the 40 dollar a year subscription to their tech support and updates. And their support is OUTSTANDING, even going as helping me fix OpenCart bug issues by providing links to the forum and search terms to correct.
The gang may not like Journal as it (from what I have read) has used various pieces of code that was provided free here in OpenCart, even steeling some from what I have read reported by the gang. I don't doubt any of that, but the users that are asking questions are clearly unexperienced like myself, and most cannot even learn to differentiate Journal issues from Opencart, and they do not pay support to Journal either.
As far as respect goes, you have all of mine Paul regardless of the jokes, in the fact that yourself has been more than helpful in assisting in resolving my concerns (and they were OpenCart concerns) as long as I don't mention the word Journal. And without a doubt your incredibly knowledgeable in OpenCart, as I would expect a developer to be.
