VueFront on OpenCart

VueFront CMS Connect App

OpenCart Versions

This repo stores the codebase for the CMS Connect App for OpenCart. Because of OpenCart's versioning, the branches are structured as follows

Repo Branch OpenCart Versions
master 2.x-3.x
1.5x 1.5.x

OpenCart Blog

Since OpenCart does not have a built-in Blog, we use the Free Blog Module by Dreamvention for version 2.x-3.x

Php version required >= 5.5, <= 7.2 (this limitation will be removed in the future)
