OCMOD Implementation OpenCart 2.0

Question

Have anybody have implemented OCMOD for plugin development in opencart 2.0 ? Do we need to install VQMOD to execute OCMOD?

I found https://github.com/opencart/opencart/wiki/Modification-System but still unable to get clear idea.

Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks

Answer 1

No, You need not to install VQMOD to execute OCMOD. OCMOD works independently.

You have to create ocmod xml file with ".ocmod.xml" extension, then you can upload that file using "Extension Installer" from admin panel of opencart.

You have to clear and refresh the modification cache to update the system and make the extension work. You can clear and refresh by top right buttons on Extension > Modification page in admin panel.

OCMod is essentially a poor mans VQMod. there are a number of features missing that aren't/won't be in it that are in VQMod, the biggest of which is being able to add content before/after a certain line match and as such would really recommend just sticking with VQMod which works just fine (version 2.5 and above)
