Opencart

Please add support for Opencart instllation/ management

[msbt]

I've just gave it a go, but apparently most of the directories require write access even after installation (tried two languages/extensions and they want to write in many places). Not sure if it's worth the hassle and make an app out of it, rather than using a lamp app and go from there. I'll take another look tomorrow, maybe it's not as bad as it seems.

There you go: https://git.cloudron.io/msbt/opencart-app

I've installed a few extensions and poked around a little, everything seems to work so far. But since I've only used it once years ago, I can't really tell if everything does, please check it out and let me know if something is missing.

Admin credentials are admin:changeme, change immediately after the first login.

@msbt Hi sorry for resurrecting an old post. Is this still available? How can we try it out on cloudron?

@msbt said in Opencart:

There you go: https://git.cloudron.io/msbt/opencart-app

@staff I wonder if this should be a WIP?

Also, here are some general links:

@msbt what is the status of the app?

[msbt]

@girish I haven't touched the app since I've built it, it was only training back then, probably one of my firsts, so the quality might be bad Never installed on a production server and used it as such, so not sure

@msbt and @girish : I built this today from https://git.cloudron.io/msbt/opencart-app

I had to :

• update cloudron base FROM in Dockerfile
• changed env variables for database because of new Cloudron format.

Other than, it installed fine ! Thank you @msbt

Given the relative lack of ecommerce apps in the App Store, I would highly recommend this receives an official check and addition to the AppStore.

OpenCart may not be the best or most modern app, but it would sure be good to have at least one option available in the App Store.

I don't know how to fork/merge/pull request, but I could create an updated repo if that helps.

Or I could learn how to fork/merge/pull request !! (But that might take some time.)
