COWOA (for ZC v1.5.x)

[DivaVocals]

I spent all day (more than 8 weary hours) comparing cowoa 2.6 with my sweet cowoa 2.3 loaded into zc151, and then painstakingly merging cowoa2.6 into zc154, only to end the day feeling a lot more work is required before 2.6 is up and running on zc154.

Right.. Well not for nothing here, but since it was stated VERY CLEARLY in the Github repo and on this support thread that v2.6 is a BETA version of COWOA, I'm not quite sure what exactly you were expecting by installing a STILL UNDER DEVELOPMENT module... But thanks for pointing out that v2.6 still not ready to be released (something I think ALL the contributors are keenly aware of, and have made clear to EVERYONE who's asked about this version of COWOA.. hence why it's not yet been released..)

I struggle to see the point of the "Shop with Confidence" and "Customer Service" content boxes bundled into cowoa, especially without adequate explanation of what they are supposed to do. But alas they are written into the auto-installer, and their respective files must be inspected and merged in order to derisk a white screen of death. So much extra work when I am already inclined to leave them turned off. In the next release, it would be nice if these could be treated as options rather than as core, more kiss, less facesuck.

It's a BETA VERSION and we're STILL TESTING new features.. So it's ON so we can TEST.. I hope that's clear enough now..

As for WHY the "Shop with Confidence" and "Customer Service" content boxes are part of the COWOA core?? I explained that a few posts back when I 1st posted the link to the COWOA Github repo.. Adding those reasons to the readme files while we're still TESTING is well.. a LOT premature.. Now if you wanna to do some reading up on your own about usability studies and shopping cart conversions, you'll see WHY these OPTIONAL features were added.. (probably the SAME reason why SIMILAR features were added to FEC, and PROBABLY why similar conversion and usability features are being discussed being included as part of the v1.6 core integration of COWOA)

Again.. if you don't want these features, the answer is very simple.. don't turn them on.. They are on by default because WE ARE TESTING and this is how we wanna test things while this module is in BETA.. That should be okay no???

Also, if the new and substitute icons could be placed into separate folders under images and icons, so that they are not loaded as if required, only to have to weed them out later.

No idea what you are talking about..
