We are inviting developers and users of OpenCart to test the new software and help iron out any issues before the official 2.0 launch next month.
You can download the latest master branch from GitHub (as changes are made we will be adding git tags in the format of 2.0.0.0a1). There is lots of updates happening right now so always ensure you update with the latest version before reporting an issue.
What are we looking for?
Basically, everything that doesn't work or doesn't work correctly. If you see our current bug tracker you will see many examples of things we have found.
How to report a bug?
You need to register on our new bug tracker - it takes a minute and will give you access to create a new issue, comment on others and also vote.
Our new tracker has an awesome browser plugin called "Jira Capture" download here
You can take a screen shot, add information about the bug and even send your environment data (browser, screen size, os etc - all helps with finding issues!).
What about suggestions?
2.0 is already full of new features, we are now focussed on getting it ready for release. We will be adding a new suggestions site and planning a road map for 2.1 after general release of 2.0.
Anything else I can do?
Lots! For testing we need general users to play with and break OpenCart, more advanced testing will require developers to look at code and see if it is done as securely and efficiently as possible.
If you are a PHP developer or a designer with great HTML/CSS skills, you can help by looking at the open issues and creating pull requests for us to review and merge on GitHub.
As a big thank you to everyone who gets involved, on our first blog & newsletter for 2.0 we will add a list of everyone (and you can include a link to your website too)
If you have any special skills for Jenkins CI, Selenium writing, unit testing, Code sniffer or Advanced SQL - Please PM me!

No - well the server is optimized for webshops and secured (e.g.suhosin).James wrote:@osworx - did you need any specific settings or changes?
But we had nothing special to change for OC.

I just had a play with the modification system and it searches so precisely, not sure if it's good or bad
So if we search for the following and position=after
Code: Select all
$_
Code: Select all
$_xxx['text_heading']
Code: Select all
$_['text_heading']
xxx

I have also ported the Override Engine to OpenCart 2.0, it now uses cached files for modified core templates and classes instead of variable streams, will release it soon.

Can we please have a simpler and quicker way to report bugs? github already allows reporting bugs (not very user friendly, but it works), Jira Capture is even more user-unfriendly.James wrote: How to report a bug?

As regards suggestions: IMHO OpenCart 2.0 needs some improvements in its MVC framework, to make it more extension friendly, we posted a few suggestions earlier this year, can these be considered before rushing out a final OC 2.0 release?

this seems better as vqmod is much more feature rich and it would be better if we stick to that. The new ocmod system changes the syntax and the way it searches, which will need us to change almost everything we have.JNeuhoff wrote:We have a modified admin/controller/extension/modification.php which supports VQMod 2.4.1 XML syntax for OpenCart 2.0, has been there for a while.
Also, will rushing for a release in September be too rush? Plenty of bugs to crush and the modification system need a little improvement.
Not sure if anyone noticed too, but is it really necessary to FTP the files again after you have uploaded the zip file from the installer?
1 - Could we make the link to the Shop frontend more obvious from Admin dashboard?
Maybe using the the "cart" icon next to the "help" icon?
2 - The Carousel module/script doesn't work.
Could I suggest to use the excellent Owl Carousel script? http://owlgraphic.com/owlcarousel/
That's all for now ... I keep testing

- "Recent Activity" box content in Dashboard doesn't seem to be displaying correctly. Entries are aligned to the left, with possibly to many line returns.
- On completing an order in frontend, the button "Confirm Order" jumps briefly to "Continue" while the form is being processed, before coming back to "Confirm Order" and then moves on normally to the success page.
- Occasionally, a "Not Defined" popup message comes out in Dashboard. It seems to be after a transaction or a Customer Registration has taken place in frontend. The Dashboard does refresh correctly after that.

The event system is similar to the hook system in wordpress. Why you wanted that in two words though, I'm really not sure. I think James or anyone for that matter would have difficulty explaining it in two words, since by it's very definition an explanation is going to be a thorough descriptionRuslan wrote:James, can you explain in two words what "event" is?
