Hi Marc
OCx is designed to work with OpenCart installed on another domain/database (actually tested only when are on the same server), but you can use the same db and domain if you want.
The idea was just a simple snippet to display opencart products in a modx website, for something like "Related products from our Shop"
Opencart Database info are stored in the module configuration and shared with snippet as parameter (using module parameter sharing)
The snippet just query opencart db and display items inside modx with a custom chunk (so you can customize like a ditto tpl) and, if you want, can fetch opencart products images in your modx assets/images folder (for better seo and use php thumb)
[[OCxProduct? &id=`60,75,89` &opencartTpl=`opencartTpl` &orderby=`price` &orderdir=`DESC` &fetchimages=`1` &store_dir=`assets/images/ocx`]]
The problem was that it is inconvenient and difficult to search for id of products and categories inside OpenCart, so I extended the module with a search for products without leaving modx manager
At this point I added the last orders and customer research
A basic demo here
