We've just released a new version of our OpenCart connector!

Version 2.5 for OpenCart 2.x and version 3.5 for OpenCart 3.x are now available with important new features, improvements and bug fixes.

Let’s see the features included in the release:

Automatic Updater

This is the heart of the 2.5 and 3.5 releases. We’re saying goodbye to the old-fashioned installation, and welcoming the new AutoUpdater. NitroPack.io now automatically keep your extension up-to-date with the latest updates and improvements. You no longer have to download any files or downloadables; NitroPack.io delivers them directly to you. The tool recognizes when there is a new version of the extension, and an update is available, it shows you the following alert:

NitroPack.io updates are free and using the latest version is always recommended. 

 

Categories and subcategories now part of Product URLs

The product links in your sitemap can now be modified. You can find the feature at the bottom of Configure Cache Warmup dialog in the Fine-Tune section.
This improvement also ensures that your breadcrumbs include the category/sub-category. It is important to keep in mind that using this feature would increase the usage of your Optimizations Quota due to the higher number of pages being optimized.
