Simple project for PHP coder to integrate Aweber mailing list service with opencart shopping cart.
opencart uses extensions (modules) to add more functionality and there is an override system called vqmod that I would require be used to avoid replacing essential files. You can use the API available for Aweber so that it can be easily ported to any platform.
My project requires:
1 - Create extension for Aweber in opencart using vqmod system.
2 - Extension should override existing mailing list functions of the cart and have Aweber take over all functions.
(i.e. When I create an account in opencart, asks if I want to subscribe to the newsletter, I would like this function to remain but to have user actually subscribe to Aweber list and not built-in newsletter system that opencart uses.
3 - When user logs into their account, they can click on newsletter to manage their subscription. Would also require to have Aweber service override the built-in newsletter functions. User should be able to manage their Aweber subscription from within their account.
4 - Your code should be properly commented as per regular standards.
5 - Include a text document with instructions on how to install files on server and how to activate (i.e. will permissions be required?). Should explain how to easily setup for use with different Aweber accounts. This document should also give instructions on how to make changes to the user account / mailing list and other available options.
6 - If you bid on this project, you accept to be a ghost coder. That is, at the end of the project I will own the rights to the code which also includes my company name in the credits. You also agree that I will have exclusive use to this code and it will not be modified, given or sold at any time.
Links required for research purposes:

(look in the extensions menu for 'MailChimp Integration' for a great example of what I want. You can also see 'FREE MailChimp Module' and 'MailChimp OpenCart Module' for more examples of mail chimp integration which should be very similar to the Aweber system).

(This system allows modules to be used without overwriting code / Required!)

(Aweber is the auto responder service that needs to be integrated into opencart).
I am available to answer questions or make clarifications as English is not my first language so don't be afraid to ask!
