Ideas,
One doesn't stumble on an idea, it is formed and influenced. What shapes the idea is very important and how to realise it.

It will continue to grow and the problems depend on your market and use. Commercial or personal use ? And your skills or lack of. Personally, I've never been liked Joomla 1.5, it was and still is cumbersome and cluttered. Never understood it's popularity as using it defeats the purpose of CMS – time...
read moreListing products A-Z
If everything could be so simple. Today I spent 3hrs trying to find how to list products alphabetically as standard in opencart. There were a lot of suggestions, one even saying to go back to 500 products and insert a sort order. The more I search the more I came closer to the right manner of posing the question. Thanks to Google firstly and secondly to the moderator.
