 * Just finished the WordPress to Opencart integration – it brings in WordPress 
   information to Opencart blocks & I’ll keep updating it with more features. I’m
   making a start on the Opencart to WordPress integration this week – this should
   be fun.

 * Yeah, I’m not sure what you mean. I’ve said that I’m going to do it both ways.
   The WHCMS cart does not seem to have that many ‘levels’ compared to the opencart
   system and it’s shipping, taxes, modules etc that would need a different type
   of integration rather than a simple bridge – I’ll have to look into it a little
   more. I’d be interested to know what a hopeless wordpress plugin looks like, 
   so I can avoid making one.

 * This would definitely be popular within the Opencart community. People need a
   CMS with Opencart because the module system in Opencart is not really a module
   system. It’s more like adding extra functionality to blocks that you can assign
   to different areas of the layout.
    Also, the CMS customizations created for Opencart
   are not flexible at present. Opencart doesn’t have hooks, so that’s why I’d prefer
   to have Opencart data inside WordPress. Opencart is really easy to use in terms
   of only ecommerce, so I think the uptake for this kind of tool would be pretty
   good. It will be my real first WordPress plugin, so I think it will be fun to
   create.

 * I’m creating an integration for Opencart and WordPress as an Opencart module.
   It will allow you to add WordPress specific information into Opencart blocks.
   I’m calling it WPOpencart or WPOC for short.
    ie. Latest Posts, List of Post 
   Categories, Posts that are in a category, List of bookmarks, wordpress search
   box, archives and the navigation menus.
 * Once phase 1 of this module is complete I think I want to code it the other way
   around to get information out of Opencart and into WordPress – I think this integration
   would be more powerful than the previous & more flexible, and also because WordPress
   has so many more templates and plugins available.
 * The main goal of both of these integrations is to leave the underlying code of
   both packages intact, so that any existing wordpress and Opencart can have the
   other attached or detached at any time. No database or coding lock-ins.
 * And no, neither one of these will be an iframe implementation. I repeat NOT using
   iframes to retrieve content.
