I haven't used Opencart3 yet, but would like to use the extensions I have from Opencart2 when migrating to Opencart3. Is that possible out-of-the box, or do the old extensions require changes to adapt them to Opencart3?
OpenCart 2 extensions will not work in OpenCart 3 without modification. Even minor things have changed such as the name of the token used in the URL, so there's no chance anything from OpenCart 2 will work with OpenCart 3.

I got a beautiful opencart theme for opencart version 1.5.6.x. But I like the new opencart version 2.3.x. I want to know if there is a way I can use the theme on the new opencart? I installed it but got some errors.
Thank you.
If you're able, do it by hand. Copy the needed elements from the stylesheet and add the class calls into the template.
Not impossible, but would take some time.
I'm finding OpenCart to be extremely inflexible between versions; even many 2.3.0.2 mods won't work on 2.3.0.2_rc (technically the same version, but one is meant for 'testing' / bug spotting).
So installing a theme or mod from a major version change would not be worth the effort troubleshooting the errors.
Start fresh, do it by hand if you're really into the theme.
I am new to opencart and want to create new extension module. After order placed and payment process completed after that I need to call 3rd party API.
So, Is there any hooks (like WordPress or Prestashop) that I can apply and use into my module files?
I am currently using opencart version - 2.3.0.2
OpenCart doesn't have any hooks, only events system, which is pretty weak. Instead it uses VQMod. This is a pretty powerful tool for developers, who know some PHP. It works similar to WordPress hooks, but gives you unlimited options.
Hooks use certain points in the code or fire certain events, but with VQMod you can put your code literally anywhere. You only need to find the desired line and put your code before or after it, even replace it, if necessary.
If you're familiar with WP hooks and filters, I'm pretty sure you'll handle VQMod well.
There are three following way :
Opencart Events
Vqmod
Ocmod
PS: I prefer to use ocmod.
I am working on the upgrade of a project from Sitecore 6.2 to Sitecore 7.
I have found out that in Sitecore 6.2, the highlighting of the search results are implemented with the Lucene.Net.Search.Highlight.Highlighter, QueryScorer and Formatter classes in sitecore.client dll.
Which classes and/or functions does Sitecore 7 provide to do highlighting in search results? I searched the web but I could not find the required information/examples.
Highlighting of results is not supported currently OOTB with Sitecore 7 (it will be coming in a later version). The issue is that we map the results back to objects using the DocumentMapper so you do not have raw access to the 'Document' objects like the older versions.
For now, if you want to dig into Lucene and get the results yourself you can find the Highlighting functionality inside the Lucene.net contrib library.
If you do use this there is a useful blog post here regarding Lucene DLL versions that you should be aware of:
http://laubplusco.net/sitecore-7-lucen-3-0-highlighted-results/
I'm not sure if is possible to hightlight in search results.
On this link you can see: This little beauty is a hidden gem within the LINQ layer and in future versions of Sitecore will be your gateway to getting Highlighted Terms, Spelling Suggestions etc.
As you may have noticed, the wiki module has been dropped in v7 of OpenERP.
The question is: what alternatives are there it? Is there any community module available or in the works, providing wiki (or even markdown) documents?
For what it's worth, here's a little more info regarding what I said in comments.
In OpenERP 7.0, the wiki module has been renamed/revamped into the document_page module. You may find this mentioned in the last section (8.3 Renamed Modules) of the OpenERP 7.0 Release Notes. It now uses a simple WYSIWYG/HTML editor and stores the pages as HTML, instead of the previous wiki/markdown-based syntax. Therefore you may or may not see it as a true "wiki alternative". The goal is to make it easier and more flexible to use, effectively providing a minimalist CMS system inside OpenERP: you can use it to add static pages in your regular OpenERP menu (or your OpenERP portal), organize them in section/categories, etc., using freely editable HTML (you can edit the HTML source if needed), while preserving their
Note that several issues in the initial 7.0 release might temporarily make the document pages less user-friendly than they should: the WYSIWYG editor was not enabled in all cases in edit mode (fixed now) and the editor is sometimes too narrow (should be fixed soon).
On a related topic, it may also be interesting to know that OpenERP 7.0 provides a collaborative writing solution via the new pad module, allowing you to embed etherpad-lite pads in your documents. It's integrated with the project and the note modules, and you can use it easily for your own custom modules as well.
The OpenERP Knowledge Addons features a module to support MediaWiki syntax (currently only available/verified for v6.1).
I have installed FaLang component to use multi-language support everything is working fine except the alias structure. When we are switching the language the URL not get changes as per the added alias conversion added into admin section. I tried almost all activities enabling both plugins but still the problem is as it is.
I believe Shaz is correct, there is no solution within FaLang at this time.
I asked the developer about this in Feb 2012 and he mentioned he was still working on it, but currently, with FaLang v 1.1.7 it still doesn't happen.
Initially I was really excited when FaLang appeared, but now I'm not so sure. I work on a lot of multilingual sites, and I don't want to get get stranded with multilingual Joomla 2.5 sites as has happened to me with many Joomla 1.5 sites I developed with JoomFish.
I know many well respected developers like FaLang, but FWIW I now favour the native language capabability built into Joomla 2.5. It's not perfect, but for now they have my confidence that it will improve.
Unfortunately this doesn't solve your problem, but if you need an introduction to how it works, here is one good link:

Initially I found the process a bit cumbersome, but once I got used to it, it's works quite well ... and yes, the aliases work as you would expect.
Good luck!
