RCI
From CREpedia
RCI stands for Runtime Code Inclusion.
It is a method for handling programs added to your CRE Loaded store.
Without RCI add-ons face a number of challenges:
- Breaking when the store is patched
- Interfering with other add-ons
- Difficulty of add-on installation
- Difficulty of add-on maintainance
RCI addresses these issues and provides additional feedback and control over code that is added at runtime.
Benefits of RCI:
- Add-ons are easy to install, no file editing required
- Add-ons survive patching of the base application
- Add-ons can be installed next to other add-ons that effect the same page and location on that page
- Multiple Add-ons can be sorted when effecting the same location
- Add-ons can retrieve and post data back to the logic functions on the base page
- Add-ons can reveal debug data in runtime with optional switch in the admin
CRE Loaded will extend the management of RCI addons in later releases.
Look for RCI compliant Add-ons when you purchase them for your store!
