I have installed Opencart 2.0.3.1. vqmod 2.5.1.5 for Opencart, vqmod manager 3.0, and ProductQuestionsAndAnswers_v1.8.2_oc2.0.x.x

These have all been uploaded manually via ftp, i've followed the simple instructions for vqmod's installation to rewrite part of the index.php and admin/index.php which seems to have created all of the required cache files.

The module is installed, enabled and visible in the modules section and in the vqmod manager, however when I try adding the module to the theme layout there is no option for this module.

Everything appears to be working fine other than for not being able to insert the module into a layout.

  • Have you tried contacting the module's developer? If it's a paid module, then they should provide support (if you've purchased through opencart.com). If it's not, they would probably appreciate your efforts in reporting the bug (or in this case, incompatibility with the new Opencart version). – Tibor B. Jun 16 '15 at 10:37
  • That is all fair. This is my first experience with Opencart and assumed there might be something simple missing in my set up rather than an incompatibility issue that prevents modules from displaying in the layout editor. – TomFirth Jun 16 '15 at 10:53

Not all modules for Opencart have that option to add it in a layout.A big portion of the modules in opencart are made by students or people that are learning to code most of the free modules don't even have that option. Now that we have this out of the way.

Other solutions to this problem.

If you are using a custom /admin panel lets say your admin is called bestbanana

You need to open the VqMOD xml file that is located in the VQmod/xml folder and change all the values that contain admin to bestbanana

Or if you are using a custom theme that has different structure than the default opencart one,than you need to modify it a little bit more.

Since VqMOD works as a search engine it searches/replaces adds and so forth bu it searches by exact words. e.g peaces of code.

but without posting any code or something similar there is nothing much that anyone can help you with.

Hope that this will help you

  • That's all good advice. It is a paid for module and so I have contacted the developer. The system is mostly default though, admin and theme. The only changes I have made to the entire system so far are installing the above modules. – TomFirth Jun 16 '15 at 12:55
  • I meant to add that. The reason I haven't been able to add any code is that I have no errors at all. Basically a client was given access to the website's admin and installed modules..etc and on that dev site i'm able to add the module to the layout, the problem they face is that it can be assigned to the theme but doesn't display on the site. – TomFirth Jun 16 '15 at 13:12
  • @TomFirth since vqmod's don't give a visible error they just get skipped if it's an error – Frosty Jun 16 '15 at 13:16
