Welcome to Copona

Copona is an ecommerce engine, based on Opencart.

We have incorporated numerous improvements, including:

Core Changes

• Simpler installation process which automatically creates configuration files where needed.

• Search engine friendly URL's are enabled automatically on supported configurations.

• More secure password hashing functions

• More modern codebase, targetting PHP5.6 as the mimimum supported version.

• Rewritten to avoid use of functions that have been deprecated in PHP7.1 (openssl replaces mcrypt throughout)

• New metadata table, to enable more efficient storage and retrieval of data.

• Simplified code base - removing features from the core install which would be better suited to being add-ons, such as the Openbay system

Admin Changes

• New feature: Product Groups

• Ability to save changes to a product and continue editing it, rather than being returned to main menu.

• Admin menu - saved in session, not flickering anymore

• Language management - languages loaded by code, from Directory name from DB

• Smarter product duplication: When a product is copied, the word ' (copy)' is added to to the name of new product

• Autocomplete now has "keepDropdown" property - if it's set to true - dropdown will not disapear oin choose.

• Alert message in admin, if form has been changed and not saved.

Works in progress

• From admin interface, it would be useful to be able to view products that are in a category, as well as products that use a specific option.

• Moving away from the VQMOD architecture for extending core functionality.
