Override System Limitations

[qhome]

One thing I've noticed about the way the override system is implemented using the "template" subdirectory system is its limited to the file level.

Meaning that if there are 2 contrib that modify different sections of the same file, then manual merging must be done. Are there any plans for Zen-Cart to bring it down to a lower level?

Something like the Kohana project where features are more modular and merged at the end?

There are pros and cons to splitting things into even more modules.
The fewer files, the easier for newcomers to understand because self-contained files are easy to visualize.
For coders, of course it's great to modularize the heck out of everything because it means less merging.

There are ongoing improvements all the time. The 1.4 release has a number of templating improvements. Some related to modularizing, some just making the templates easier to follow, meaning less challenges when merging mods etc.
