Other required, optionally required or preferred settings:

  • register_globals OFF
  • magic_quotes_gpc OFF
  • file_uploads ON
  • session_auto_start OFF
  • mcrypt library loaded
  • zlib library loaded (for output compressing)

There is a large number of community made 'extensions' that expand OpenCart, both paid and free.

There is also an active & strong user support base, with forums for discussions.

You may contribute to the project using the GitHub repository

There is also a frontend demo and backend demo of OpenCart - login with demo/demo.
