Preface
If you can code OpenCart modules, you can customize OpenCart and make e-commerce sites easier to administer and also change the way the default OpenCart system works. This book shows you how to create all sorts of extensions: OpenCart module, Order Total module, ideas for creating payment, shipping modules, and ways to create custom pages and forms on OpenCart module to carry out the insert, edit, delete, and list functions.
This book focuses on teaching you all aspects of OpenCart modules by showing and defining code examples. The book uses default OpenCart module to clone other modules, the process by which one module gets transferred to another. It shows each and every line of code and describes them so readers know what the code does. You will clone the Google_talk module in the first chapter. In the second chapter, you will learn about all the available methods in OpenCart, and at last you will create two custom module feedback pages and the Tips Order Total modules.
Each chapter teaches you to make a new OpenCart module; you will thus be able to make three modules by reading this book. You will be able to create the Hello World module by cloning the Google talk module that you can then change to the Welcome Message module. Likewise, you will get a description of each code of default featured module of OpenCart, and then create the Feedback pages to manage the feedbacks. In the end, you will be able to create an Order Total module called Tips Order Total module.
Each chapter builds a practical module from the ground up using step-by-step instructions and examples.
