Keep Your Extensions Compatible
When you upgrade OpenCart to a newer version, your existing extensions often need updates too. OpenCart major versions change database schemas, file structures, and coding patterns, which means extensions built for one version may not work on another. Our extension upgrade service ensures your critical extensions continue functioning after platform upgrades.
What We Do
- Compatibility Assessment: We analyze each extension against the target OpenCart version to identify incompatibilities.
- Code Migration: We update extension code to use the correct APIs, database methods, and template patterns for the target version.
- Template Conversion: For 3.x to 4.x upgrades, we convert templates from the old format to Twig templates.
- Database Updates: We modify database schemas if the extension uses tables affected by the version change.
- Testing: Comprehensive testing of all extension features on the target OpenCart version.
- Documentation: Updated documentation reflecting any changes in configuration or usage.
Common Upgrade Scenarios
- Upgrading 2.x OCMOD extensions to 3.x compatibility.
- Converting 3.x extensions with PHP templates to 4.x with Twig templates.
- Updating PHP 7.x code to PHP 8.x compatibility.
- Migrating from deprecated OpenCart APIs to current equivalents.
Pricing
Extension upgrade pricing depends on extension complexity. Simple modules with minimal database interaction start at lower rates, while complex extensions with multiple controllers, models, and database tables require more work. We provide a detailed quote after reviewing each extension.
