AI SEO blog for OpenCart

Connector setup

1. Upload the package for your exact OpenCart branch through Extensions → Installer.
2. Open Extensions → Extensions → Modules, install Blogent Connector, then edit and enable it.
3. In OpenCart 2.3, installed NewsBlog is detected automatically. Select its existing blog category. Its child categories are included. A separate blog title is not needed for NewsBlog.
4. The 2.3 package reads the installed languages and primary store language automatically. With NewsBlog, choose optional covers for categories in the native image manager. Save the module settings.
5. Copy the complete generated Webhook URL, including its token. In the Blogent assistant choose OpenCart, paste it and click Load from website. For an existing project, save it under Integrations. NewsBlog categories, URLs and the primary language are saved automatically.
6. Use the Public blog URL shown after saving. For NewsBlog this is the existing blog’s native URL. SEO URLs must be configured in the store.
7. After changing categories, reload them in Blogent. Run Test connection to create a real test article and update the same article.

Actions and stable identities

• Shopify, HubSpot, Webflow and Framer use the connected native publisher. WordPress, OpenCart, Strapi and Lovable use the installed Blogent connector; v0 and Replit adapt it to the existing app. Wix, Make, n8n and custom endpoints implement the synchronous contract; Zapier, Albato and ApiX-Drive use completion callbacks.
• inventory: send cursor: null and limit; return {articles: [snapshot], next_cursor: string|null}. Repeat the returned cursor until null.
• read: send target and/or content_id; return {article_snapshot: snapshot}. Explicit native target is authoritative. Blogent’s logical content_id may differ from the native identity.
• Each snapshot contains identity, title, alias, date, article, target, revision, urls and optional image/author metadata. article maps locales to full title, alias, HTML, preview and SEO fields. Unknown original dates may be null and unavailable URLs may be an empty map.
• create: send the article payload, a unique operation_id, logical content_id, empty target and null expected revision. Return {posted:true,target,revision,urls} after complete publication.
• update: send existing native target IDs and the latest expected_revision. Preserve original IDs, URLs/aliases, publication date, author and assets. Compare the revision atomically before applying changes.

What you get after connecting OpenCart

• OpenCart 2.3 NewsBlog uses the existing blog and native articles, categories and SEO URLs.
• The 2.3 package reads the installed languages and primary store language automatically.
• NewsBlog categories and their child categories load into the Blogent assistant and are saved with the connection.
• Choose NewsBlog category covers with the native OpenCart image manager. Downloaded covers are stored on your site.
• For a store without NewsBlog, the connector offers a separate blog based on native Information pages.
• Updates keep the original article IDs, URLs, dates, authors and images.

Requirements and compatibility

OpenCart version

Separate packages for 2.0–2.2, 2.3, 3.x and 4.x. Install the one matching your branch.

Why separate packages

Extension paths, templates, admin tokens and the OpenCart 4 namespace system are not cross-compatible between branches.

Access

Admin access to Extensions → Installer and Extensions → Extensions → Modules.

Connection

Save the module settings, then copy the complete generated Webhook URL, including its token, into Blogent.

Verification

The connection test inventories existing content, creates one real article, reads its authenticated snapshot and updates the same native IDs. No public-page crawl is required.
