One thing to improve Phoenix

added onto during install wizard?

That’s a really good suggestion, Pierre. Would you be willing to take the lead on this? Map out what you would like to see in the page, and where those new inputs should write to. Get other people involved as you see fit.

Phoenix is very much a community-driven project now. I'm sure the wider community would thank you if you're able to help move it forward.

Another two things

Can we make categories and manufacturers able to be enabled / disabled?

I can code it up if required.

manufacturers able to be enabled / disabled?

Say we did have ability to disable manufacturers...what would that look like functionally in the Shop Side ?

I -assume- the manufacturer just wouldn't show (eg in the manufacturers list).
What about products of that manufacturer, would they be disabled too ?

Similar Question for categories disablement..

I like this idea as we occasionally have whole categories that we only want to show some times in the year.

Good point. I was thinking mainly for manufacturers that might not have any products active (for the moment) and may still be showing in Manufacturers menu in header, but I guess it could be a choice?

• Deactivate manufacturer (disappears from selectors in product edit page etc and elsewhere)

• Deactivate manufacturer and all their products

• Deactivate manufacturer in header menu

@burt I am currently finishing off an addon which I will upload hopefully in the next few days time permiting that has options of turning off all products for selected manufacturers included in it as well as many other features including making categories active or inactive.

I have had to copy and modify the category tree file to a custom folder includes/system/versioned/custom and also add a categories_status field to the categories table.

I would appreciate a heads up on any other files that require adding the categories_status field into the sql. Am I right in thinking that cm_i_card_products is one but are there any others?

So far its testing

Is there more "one thing" item(s) ?
Open to any and all to have your say.

If you don't get involved...Phoenix does not progress.

Simple things that really make things easier day to day. These have all been released as PRO or free addons.

Customer addresses (list of customer adresses in admin)
Customer Orders Tab (view previous customer orders on admin edit order screen)
Eye Password (shop side view/hide password)
Sitemap XML (create sitemaps automagically)
Reorder Button (on shop side order history page so customers can quickly reorder)
Product Images Preview (show a preview of product images in admin)
Product Uploads (add PDFs etc to products so they can be displayed shop side, for example data sheets, product manuals etc)
