SOLID are programming principles that greatly help to write large applications, making them more flexible, extensible, while reducing the number of errors and conflicts, as well as the time and money to support and maintain this application in the future.
The name of the topic is very ambiguous, as many may say that these are completely different things, which make no sense to compare. But many OpenCart developers consider OpenCart to be a framework, some even write that it is not just a framework, but the best framework on which you can make a website of any complexity. Therefore, I decided to compare the functionality of frameworks.
This OpenCart module allows you to automatically assign a group to the buyer after registration.
It is convenient to use with the "Group Price" module, which allows you to easily change prices for groups of buyers.
This OpenCart module allows you to display a block with prices for different groups of customers.
The module works both with OpenCart special prices and with discounts set through the module "Group Price - different prices for groups of customers"
This is advantageous, for example, if there are several groups of customers, with discounts for each group, to encourage the buyer to buy more and move to another group. Or to encourage the customer to register on the site, as he will see that there is a discount for a group of customers for registered users. And so on.
Using this OpenCart module, you can set different prices for different groups of customers, including the default group. It is also possible to set different prices not only depending only on the group, but also depending on the category of product or manufacturer.
API system appeared in OpenCart since OpenCart 2.0. It gives you ability to get access to OpenCart data programmatically.
Which version of OpenCart is actual now? Which version of OpenCart should you use for a new project?
Several months ago I wrote similar article. In it I advised to use OpenCart 1.5.6.4 for a new projects.
Yesterday OpenCart 2.2.0.0_a1 has been released.
This is an alfa version, it released for developers and it is strongly not recommended to use it on the working shop.
It has plenty changes and I decided to write entire article about it.
So, what is new in OpenCart 2.2.0.0 a1?
In this article I will compare 3 OpenCart page cache modules.
