Re: Easy populate as core zen package?

Well.....
hmmm

It just seems like such an essential part of the Zen package, I wouldn't be able to do with out it.

10 / 10 to its creator!

Re: Easy populate as core zen package?

Langer,

I do not think that this a complete answer/reason...

Counter-point EZ Pages was a contrib by other than a team member and is now part of the core code.

I would venture to speculate that while EZ Populate is a useful mod, it is not fully mature enough to be included in the core just yet.

If you are suggesting that the Dev team should (or are) wary of taking contributions into the core code while the original author is still actively taking them to new heights, then I would wholeheartedly agree.

Kuroi,

EXACTLY what I wnated to confer....not that EZ Populate was in any way flawed, as it is of great benefit to many in the Zen community and saves countless amounts of time.

Thank for the catch

Re: Easy populate as core zen package?

Would it be too much for Zen-Cart.com to create "Easy Populate Support" section on this forum? Zen Cart users naturally end up using Easy Populate as if its core package anyway. Or, should I be seeking help at Langer's modhole.com site?
