Rate for isles,DHL,UPS and Co.

Labels: OpenCartModuleShipping

If you have a webshop in Germany and want to ship to some regions, you have to take care on a special rate called 'Inseltarif'.

Another case is when you want to offer shipping by a carrier like DHL, UPS and so on.

If you use OpenCart as you webshop solution you can either install several extensions and maybe you are lucky if all of them will fit what you need.

Beside that fact that you have to define several modules the customer may see several options he has to choose from - the checkout process can be strange because of many options the customer will see.

Here comes CustomShipping.

One extension (a module based on VQMod, so no need to adopt manually any file) where you can define as many shipping methods you want/need and show therefore exactly that shipping option in the checkout process the customer should see and choose from.

While it is simple to define, it has many options like:

  • based on total amount
  • based on weight
  • based on volume
  • based on quantity

Define which customer group, geozone and payment method shall be able to use the shipping method.

Exclude or include zip codes.

Exclude IP-addresses - or ranges.

Set a free limit no shipping costs will be applied if over this limit (amount, weight, volume or quantity).

Define for each active language seperate titles, and optionally a text you want to display the customer how much he should buy additionally to become shipping for free.

The best of all: you can create as many shipping methods as you like - or need.

This great extension is available only here - get the extension in our download section.

 

Payment Module CustomPayment

OpenCart is shipped by default with several payment types (e.g. banktransfer, check for static methods and several others for to use with gateway processors like PayPal etc.).

While the modules for the gateway processors are including several options to define, the static modules missing all these features.

Here comes CustomPayment.

With it every shopowner can define unlimited payment types (static types like banktransfer, check, etc.).

Selectable only for defined (or all) geozones, customergroups, shipping methods, etc. depending on your needs.

Each type can have its own title and - of course - a text which can be edited with included the HTML editor. Therefore the text can be formatted and images can also be added.

 

Admin Language Selector

Admin Language Selector updated to be compatible with OpenCart 1.5.5.x

After the update of the already exsting admin language selector, we have created another extension with the same target.

The first changes the admin language permant, the second is based on cookies.

Both have their advantages.

Here is a short comparison of both:

1. Admin Language Selector 'permament'

  • based only on VQMod the user has to do nothing after copying the files on his server
  • language selector is immediately available
  • disadvantage is, the new admin language is stored in config and therefore for all loggedin admins the standard language

2. Admin Language Selectore 'cookie'

  • based only partly on VQMod 
  • one (1) core file has to be edited
  • big advantage of this extension is, that the selected language is only available for the user who selected that language
  • no setting is stored, therefore every loggedin user can have his 'own' language

Both extensions are installed in less than 1 minute and are available in our download section.

Watermarks

Labels: OpenCartModule

Watermarks a new, advanced module (extension) for OpenCart.

Why another extension for watermarks while there already a few on the market?

Complex question, but a very simple answer: it is the only one which embeds true watermarks inside any image displayed in your store. Because of its features, this module is unique.

These features are (only to hightlight a few):

  • Multilingual
  • Support of all image types are displayed (e.g. products [main & thumb], modules [like bestseller, latest, etc.])
  • Support of TTF-Fonts (TrueType Fonts)
  • Selectable Opacity / Transparency for images and text
  • Selectable angle for images and text
  • Size of images and text
  • Colors for text and background
  • Use either image, text (for each active language) or manufacturer name
  • Supports multistore installations
  • Fixed and random positions (9)
 

Opencart and VQMod

What is VQMod?

The way Opencart works, there was the need to manipulate files without direct editing. 2011 a developer created a new tool, called VQMod.

The idea behind is to create external files - based on XML - and change the desired scripts on-the-fly without editing manually the file itself.

This way every script - except files in the root (like index.php) as well as external CSS and Javascript files - can be changed in a very easy and simple way without any further knowledge of the system itself or coding.

VQMod has a neat side-effect: all changed files are cached and will be created new after a defined time (usually 60 seconds).

How to use?

Before these xml-files can be used, VQMod itself has to be installed. This is done by simply copy the files on the server and call once the installer which will prepare the system.

Then a simple copying of the xml-file into the correct folder (so called xml) and the rest of the work will be done automatically by the system.

What if I do not want to use VQMod but need the changes?

Well basically no problem, in this case the code is available inside the xml-file and changes have to be done manually.

What if I do not need VQMod anymore?

This a task for people who know how to edit files. Because the changes the VQMod installation has made, have to reverted.

What if I do not need the changes/modifcations (inside the xml-file)?

Either simply delete the file or rename it to something.xml_ (note the underline at the end). This will indicate the system that this file shall not be used furthermore. This can be done also by the VQMod-Manager.

How can I manage the VQMod-files (.xml)?

There is a tool called VQMod-Manager.

 

Legal - Button Solution

Labels: OpenCartModuleLegal

The latest version of our module LEGAL is now also compatible with OpenCart 1.5.4.x (we recommend to use at least 1.5.4.1).

The included summary (so called 'Buttonlösung' - Button Solution') which is required for shops operated inside the European Community will display everything you need to avoid possible cease and desist letters.

Currently only Germany (as with the 1. of August 2012) has ratified this European law, all other countried have to so not later than the 13. of December 2013.

But until then, every shop who wants to sell goods to Germany or German customers are encouraged to implement this solution, otherwise the contract between you (the shop) and the customer is not valid (because of the German regulations)!

Make your shop ready for this regulations and download Legal right now.

 

Buttonlösung

Labels: OpenCartModuleLegal

Mit der neuesten Version unseres Moduls 'Legal' (siehe auch bisherige Artikel dazu), geht die sogenannte 'Buttonlösung' in die nächste Runde.

Unterstützt werden alle OpenCart Versionen ab 1.5.1.x

Ältere OpenCart-Versionen wie 1.4.x oder 1.5.0.x werden nicht unterstützt und es gibt auch keine Pläne dafür.

Was gibt es sonst Neues?

Für die so wichtige (da erforderlich) Produktzusammenfassung hat das Modul Legal bisher die Attribute sowie den 'Lazy Mode' unterstützt, ab sofort wird auch der Metatag 'Beschreibung' mit verwendet. Das kann u.a. sehr nützlich sein wenn man die Produkte als CSV (Comma Seperated Value) Datei importiert (z.B. mit einem weiteren Modul). Einfach Metatag definieren, importieren - fertig.

Auch neu mit dieser Version ist eine Funktion um die vorhandenen Eigenschaften (Attribute) und / oder Metatags mit einem Klick zu überprüfen - sie benötigt man um die finale Produktzusammenfassung anzeigen zu können, wie vom Gesetz für die Buttonlösung vorgeschrieben. Erst damit hat man einen dem Gesetz entsprechenden Webshop - ohne darf man sich schon auf eine Abmahnung 'freuen'.

Weiters ist mit dieser Version das direkte Bearbeiten der CSS sowie der Produktvorlage möglich.

Die Produktzusammenfassung wurde auch umgestaltet, sie beinhaltet jetzt Links mit der der Shopkunde einfach - wenn notwendig - seine Bestellung ändern kann.

Mit dem Link 'Weiterlesen' unten sind ein paar Screenshots der neuen Version sichtbar.
