Question

Quick question about open cart, where are extension status and position set? I can see in the code

$postion = $this->config->get($extension . '_position');

and also

'status'      => $this->config->get($extension . '_status') 

However I can’t see where these are defined?

Answer 1

At first, look into your extension file ( for example ‘payment/free_checkout.php’) and search for something like that

$this->model_setting_setting->editSetting( 'free_checkout', $this->request->post);

This is where settings stored into database ( you can go deeper into setting model, if you want )

After that, open admin/index.php and look at lines 38 – 48.
You can see, system gets data from database and store data into config object.
