Comment on Why not to use OpenCart – Bad Reviews of OpenCart team by Adi Jayanto

Opencart was great.
For simple ecommerce solution, it was very great.

Until… comes 1.5.x… ugh, that thing is a mess. I can’t place anything anywhere. Time to learn new system are too damn high multiplied. I personally still use 1.4.9.6 and i think i’ll keep it as long as posible. For the devs, i think you should mantain the 1.4.x branch, scrap the 1.5.x. Make your money by creating original plugins.

Prestashop are far complex, have more feature, and nice. By standard, Prestashop is a “department store” while Opencart is a “boutique”.

Many of you developers really, in my opinion, have a nerve. You’re charging your customers to develop an e-commerce website and yet you’re using a free open source shopping cart. And then you have the audacity to jump on Daniel and “Qphoria” because you don’t like their service or the tone of their responses. Well, then, pay for a cart and then you’ll be perfectly within the bounds of civility to complain to the developers if things aren’t working as you expected them to. Neither Daniel nor “Qphoria” are your slaves (working for you for nothing), and anything that you get from them you should consider to be a gift. What a bunch of cheapskates!

Comment on WL Marketing Review – Horrible RSS Feed Submission Service for your Blog by Joe Sampson

Sure wish I had found this site before I spent $750.00 US on one of W L Marketing’s programs. The net result was that my site which was placed at eleven on the second page for my most popular search term was dropped by Google. Most likely because of some freaking program W L was running. I ordered them to stop and after two weeks my site came back but well below what it had been before the started messing with it. Do yourself a favor do not use these people. They will screw your site up and then run with the money.

Hi Jason,

What is ecommerce cms/engine you are using now? I’m also in process creating my own ecommerce engine. My First step is creating the php framework, and it’s already done. I’ll take a lot the idea from opencart, since it’s the only MVC ecommerce engine i ever know.

Should you have any good ecommerce engine, please recommend me.

OPENCART is free. Support is not compulsary. Though moderator and owner should not be close minded for the sake of opencart future. User suggestions must be SERIOUSLY considered. Dont abuse user or being SINISTER when replying to people!

anyway here is the solution for your oc problem:
1. have bugs,suggestion,modification request?
2. post on support forum
3. no support no reply?ok np
4. hire a coder @freelancer.com or anywhere in the world
5. abuse,mutilate opencart frame as much as u want.
6. PROBLEM SOLVED
7. REPEAT?

The fastest way to get good service from the designers, is for users, particularly those profiting from its use to make decent sized donations.
I use it and love it. And have made many donations.

I found a serious security vulnerability in 1.5.x (and presumably 1.4.x). I proceeded to do what I believed was the right thing and posted this in the 1.5 bug thread so that it could be fixed ASAP – with full illustrated proof of the issue.

Daniel and his staff came into the thread and began calling me a liar, a crackhead, saying I was crazy, that the vulnerability was impossible, and threatened to ban me for “purposefully being misleading” (although ONE moderator acknowledged that I was right and the issue needed to be looked into). WHAT?! I responded back calmly and stated that I wasn’t aware of how I was being misleading, and asked them to look again at the proof. I thought there had to be some misunderstanding because I didn’t understand why I was being treated that way. Less than 4 hours after my response, I was permanently banned from the OpenCart website and the thread was immediately deleted (and the issue pushed under the rug).

All this after spending hundreds of dollars in the OpenCart extension store (which OpenCart gets a heafty cut out of). This is how they treat paying customers. Daniel will sit there and ridicule you and deny everything until he’s blue in the face, and then ban your account, just for reporting a bug and/or security issue. Daniel and his staff sound like they have a lot of growing up to do, because they make themselves and the OpenCart project look like buffoons.

Thanks for this.

I probably already know the answer to this, but: is there a page somewhere
which lists OpenCart security issues, status, fixes, etc.?

The changelog only has things like:
“v1.5.1.2. Security fix”
with no further info ?!
