OC extension generator is a tool to help admins and developers create, install and remove extensions for Opencart. This tool will create a file and set up some basic sourcecode for an Opencart extension
This tool supports fixing some errors related to the namespace of extensions downloaded from OpenCart Extension Store that make them impossible to install and use.
- PHP : 8+
- Opencart : 4.x.x
- clone the whole source from git to your machine
- copy and merge the admin, system folder with your admin folder
- Access the following route :
https://your_admin_url/index.php?route=tool/extension
- List installer extensions, currently only one installer is the default installer of opencart. It means that the entire sourcecode of the extension will be located in the directory your_project_dir/extension/opencart
- Click the view button to go to the detail page. Here we will see a list of extensions found in the system. You can use the filter by type to find your extension
- Click on the view button on each extension and you will see detailed information about the files related to that extension.
- Download new extension from OpenCart Extension Store and copy and merge the admin, system folder with your extension/opencar folder. Example I download the Trackfree extension.
- Visit the detail page, you will see Trackfree in the list and click
- After install , you can click setting button and go to setting page of plugin.
- Click uninstall to extension
Click the remove button to remove the extension, this will uninstall and delete the files related to the extension.
- Visit the detail page, you will see add button at bottom.
- After clicking the save button, the system will automatically generate the files and basic sourcecode required of an extension and you can see the path to those files by clicking the view button.
- Part of the sourcecode is automatically generated :
namespace Opencart\Admin\Controller\Extension\Opencart\Other;
class MyExtension extends \Opencart\System\Engine\Controller {
public function index(): void {
$this->load->language('extension/opencart/other/my_extension');
$this->document->setTitle($this->language->get('heading_title'));
$this->load->model('extension/opencart/other/my_extension');
$data['breadcrumbs'] = [];
$data['breadcrumbs'][] = [
'text' => $this->language->get('text_home'),
'href' => $this->url->link('common/dashboard', 'user_token=' . $this->session->data['user_token'])
];
$data['breadcrumbs'][] = [
'text' => $this->language->get('heading_title'),
'href' => $this->url->link('extension/opencart/other/my_extension', 'user_token=' . $this->session->data['user_token'])
];
$data['header'] = $this->load->controller('common/header');
$data['column_left'] = $this->load->controller('common/column_left');
$data['footer'] = $this->load->controller('common/footer');
$this->response->setOutput($this->load->view('extension/opencart/other/my_extension', $data));
}
public function install(): void {}
public function uninstall(): void {}
