Order Tracking
Adds Russian Post tracking service to your store. It works similar to any other tracking module and doesn't require any specific knowledge. Tracking information is taken from official Russian Post site via official API.
Features
Takes tracking information directly from Russian Post site and doesn't depend on any 3rd party service. Adds link to tracking page in header, footer and account, plus clickable tracking number to order info page. Can be used as global tracking service, limited to local orders or to customer's own orders only. Tracking number can be added or removed with any history change or on order editing page in backend. Comes with simple Order Tracking module, which you can put on any page you want to make tracking easier.
Compatibility: OpenCart 2.0+, 3.0+
Current version: 3.0.0

Documentation
Installation instructions
If downloaded package has .ocmod.zip extension, you can install it using Extension Installer. If you see "The directory is not allowed to be written to" error message, download Extension Installer Fix from this page and install it. Then install the main extension.
In any other case or if you want to install it manually, unpack and upload all folders to the root of your store. If there's install.xml file in the package, rename it to extension_name.ocmod.xml, replacing "extension_name" with extension's name, and upload it to "system" folder.
When upgrading from previous version rewrite all existing files. Refresh modifications cache from Extensions -> Modifications page.
Note for OpenCart 2.0.X users
Sometimes OCMod inserts modification in multiple files, which are separated by "|" character in XML-file. On earlier OpenCart 2 versions a comma was used instead. To quickly fix this, open XML file and replace all occurrences of "|" character with "," for "path" attribute in every applicable <file> element. Search for "<file path=" to quickly find and highlight all elements.
Note for OpenCart 2.3 users
On OpenCart 2.3 compatibility code is broken, which may lead to Permission Denied issue, when you access extension settings. To fix this you need to install OpenCart 2.3 Compatibility Fixes extension.
The right sequence of actions is the following:
- Download our purchased (or free) extension, but do not install it yet (uninstall, if already installed).
- Install OpenCart 2.3 Compatibility Fixes extension.
- Refresh modifications cache from Extensions -> Modifications page.
- Go to System -> User Groups and select all access/modify permissions for your group.
- Install our purchased (or free) extension.
If you did everything right, everything will start working properly.
Note for OpenCart 3 users
NOTE: Instructions below are required only if "admin" or "catalog" folders are present in the package!
To install and use extension on OpenCart 3 you need to install OpenCart 3 Compatibility Fixes. It adds backward compatibility with old extension structure plus adds back support for .tpl files and enables automatic template engine detection.
The right sequence of actions is the following:
