Migration to a new support model

One year since opening up our support section we are now transitioning to a different support model.
We have split support into two separate sections:

  • free support, which is provided via a forum – this will help us avoid repeatable questions and hopefully help build a community willing to help itself;
  • premium support via tickets (email), included for all our commercial extensions and also available via donations for our free work;

New release: CR2 Landing Page

Since we’ve made it past the end of the world and we are still alive, we’ve decided to release the free edition of our CR2 Landing Page Pro OpenCart module.

The free edition comes without some features, but the basic options are still there: you can display a custom message/text box to your visitors on whichever page you want, that custom content can be retrieved only from a remote URL, and you can set the width and the height of the message box area…

End of the world… sort of

So it’s finally here… that time of the year/decade/century when the world ends… again… apparently…

Hopefully you’ve put all your earthly businesses in order, emptied your bank account, watched all apocalypse films one more time and are all set and ready to go – into the afterlife/reincarnation/abyss…

Security vulnerability in older Mantra versions

It has come to our attention that there’s a security vulnerability in older Mantra version.

The affected versions are 1.7.7 to 1.8.9.1. No other versions are affected.
If you are running any of these versions, please update as soon as possible.

If you are unable to update due to various modifications/customizations you have performed on the theme, delete the mantra/admin/upload-file.php file to remove the vulnerability.

Zombie Apocalypse requiem II

Yap, it’s finally here – our Zombie Apocalypse’s second year anniversary. We love watching it grow up and bleed all over.

Many things have happened this past year: a lot of eaten corpses, roaming bodies and mindless cadavers.

Now that all important moment in time has come when summer has passed and autumn – the season of dying – is crawling towards our doors.

Default-Black and Bloody-Black updated for OpenCart 1.5.2 and 1.5.3

We’ve finally got around to updating another set of dark OpenCart themes, Default-Black and Bloody-Black, so they now work on OpenCart 1.5.2(.x) and 1.5.3(.x).

We’ve recreated them from scratch using a new structure that should allow us to more easily keep them updated in the future. Due to this new structure, they now depend on the “default” theme and require it to be left installed.
