The most significant update in CRE Loaded has been Runtime Code Inclusion (RCI), which allows for "plug and play" module and modification additions to your CRE Loaded web store. RCI extends the framework of the CRE Loaded application so that code can be safely added to various places in the cart without hand-editing files. An RCI is simply a place on a page that runs code from files located in specific folders. CRE Loaded 6.2 Patch 09 introduces RCI to CRE Loaded base applications to allow for additional modifications and custom code, without ever worrying about the new additions overriding each other or a patch for the base application overwriting the modification's code.
We have begun integrating some of the more popular and most widely used contributions into the RCI format. RCI enables a near 100% Upload and Install environment for contributions or "Add-Ons" as they are called by some, thus doing away with the work of integrating the contribution yourself. All the hard work has been done for you. No more install instructions, no more php skills needed. We look forward to providing many useful and powerful RCI style Add-Ons in the future!
