I'm looking for consistency -- something IMHO in which this mod has never really had a history of.. I've been through 1 major Zen Cart (and several minor) upgrades, and 3+ WordPress updates and the solutions I am using for blog embedding have required few to no updates to continue to work. The WordPress sideboxes required NO changes, and the only updates to the Numnix blog solution were changes to core Zen Cart files as a result of the Zen Cart changes..
THIS solution on the other hand?? Well when I initially started trying to use it stopped working when Wordpress went from 2.5 to 2.7.. Then it was fine (kinda) once kiddo posted her awesome fix, and I switched my client from SSU to Ceon URI.
Then the last update to WOZ seemed to cause issues for quite a few folks (I stopped testing at that point since I had a better blog embedding solution in place and didn't like or think the SSU and Ceon hacks were necessary or even GOOD changes to WOZ)
Then along comes several WordPress updates (including the awesome new WP v3.X) and the Zen Cart 1.3.9 updates, and BAM this mod is back where it was when I first stumbled into this support thread..
So it's not "out of the box predictable functionality" I'm after as much as it is just plain old consistency, and this I'm afraid is what has always been lacking in this mod.. (IMHO) I decided that if there was any code tweaking to be done, my time would be better spent tweaking a more solid solution to meet my needs versus trying to put lipstick on a pig..Adding sideboxes to the Numnix solution gave me a solid, stable, flexible, and most importantly a consistent WORKING blog embedding solution..
IMHO, WOZ was not then and is not now a solid solution and it needs a SERIOUS re-write.
