OpenCart Community

I just thought, as a result from previous forum discussions, to kickstart a community bugfix release for OpenCart 2.0.2.0 in the form of a VQmod XML bugfix file.

While bugfixes can also be found on github's masterbranch, they are not backported to the 2.0.2.0 release. And although the next release may include the bugfixes (or not), there is always the danger of newly introduced bugs because of other changes or new features, hence this idea of putting them for 2.0.2.0 in a single VQmod XML file.

At the moment, this is not a complete list of all the bugfixes, but please feel free to share your fixes here, the more the better, and don't forget to also post them on github to make sure the fixes are applied to the next OpenCart release as well.

I don't think this will work with braces. They were silently deprecated in v2.0.2.0. You have to use comma delimited full paths now.

But VQMod still support them?
Because this .xml is for it.

Sorry. Got my wires crossed. The joy of having two competing standards that look almost exactly alike.

Is vQmod compatible with braces? I didn't think it used GLOB_BRACE.

You are somewhat right. The GLOB_BRACE for the 'name' attribute is implemented in this vqmod:

http://www.opencart.com/index.php?route ... n_id=19501

but not in Qphoria's/Jay's release:

https://github.com/vqmod/vqmod/wiki

I'll remove the GLOB_BRACE support from the 1st one, to keep the XML compatible with Qphoria's/Jay's release. Will do the change tomorrow.

Update 7 May 2015: No GLOB_BRACE used in our VQmod, XML-file updated accordingly.

Just added some more bugfixes, see updated first post.

This is a very proactive and fantastic idea!

I don't know much about coding at the core, but am I right in saying that this xml file will check error in the specified bugs and if they exist it will fix them...if not it would just leave them alone?

Basically, should we use this xml file regardless to make sure we have a more bug-fixed version of 2.0.2.0 ?

The script just fixes the bugs listed above, nothing more, nothing less. And it is for OpenCart 2.0.2.0 only.

Thanks for these fixes will you, and others hopefully, be carrying this forward to the release of 2.0.3.0 and beyound?

That's the plan, because there are bound to be new bugs in each new release. And I hope others will contribute to the VQmod XML bugfix entries, too.

More bugfixes added over the past few days, see first post.
