Using Processwire with Opencart

[icreation]

Is there a way to display the category list from Opencart in Processwire?

Opencart is a good e-commerce solution and PW is a great CMS. However we need the best of both and want the navigation to pull dynamically from each.

Displaying the PW nav tree in Opencart should be possible using the PW API but how about the other way round? Displaying the Categories from Opencart in the PW front end?

I am working with opencart at the moment. It would be great to be able to integrate processwire and opencart  together a little. A match made in heaven.

Well, there is an Opencart API available, but it costs $99. If you really need that functionality, it's probably worth buying it, but nobody else will buy it just to experiment around with it. Also, if you need it just for displaying product categories, it's probably overkill. Perhaps you'll find a better approach in the OC forums.

Thanks for that. We have found that we have been able to get the info straight from the database with a bit of scripting.
