There seems to be this intuition for contribs to be displayed in raw form on the forums as manual code edits, instead of being properly created as a downloadable contrib. I don't know how well this works for others, but I can only see this as a major problem, stemming from no proper contrib method (and yep, more harping about the need for an override system).

As I scan through these raw formatted contribs, I will be quickly zipping them up into a proper zip file package. I will certainly reference the author as the originator of the contrib, but will also be adding some template override support to each.

I feel until there is a proper override system in place, or at least a proper standard for sharing contribs, OpenCart will continue to have this method of raw coding and the convolution will just get worse.

I hope that future contribs can start being created as downloadable packages. It takes some community initiative for that tho, but in the end OpenCart will flourish with many more contribs and designs that are oft overlooked.
