Recommended Addons

[bonbec]

Advanced Order Manager (AOM) V1.0 ( from @Mort_Lemur ) provides CE Phoenix Cart administrators with a complete, easy-to-use system for creating and editing customer orders, including Mail Order and Telephone Order (MOTO) sales.

Especially good when the page is "long" (eg someone looking on a mobile phone).

I strongly recommend this one:

app.php/addons/free_addon/ajax_attribute_manager/

A dream for handling attributes both on the attribute page and in the product editing. Before attributes were a nightmare to me, but this organizes and presents them so well. Always the first addon I put on a new site or a test site. In addition it is regularly updated and maintained.

And to complete the addon above for those who need images as attributes this one to be used with Ajax Attribute Manager:

app.php/addons/free_addon/options_images/

In your attributes page in admin you can create attributes with colors and see the actual color in the column, then in the product editing you can add the color attributes to your product. Shopside the user has a dropdown that shows the colors to choose. Easy!

app.php/addons/paid_addon/typeahead_instant_search

Our customers really love this search feature. So much better than the standard core search with settings for what gets searched, and even though its a paid for addon, its not that expensive as it will greatly help customers find products within the store.

This addon is now upgraded to Recommended Status.
TY to @14Steve14 nominating it and the Thank You'ers who voted for it.

app.php/addons/free_addon/kissit_image_thumbnailer/

A thumbnailer can reduce load-times and is a great help for those, who aren't spending too long on their images. KISSIT Image Thumbnailer does the job quite well.

The second addon making Recommended Status.
TY to @Kofod95 for nominating it and the Thank You'ers who voted for it.

All, please get involved in this discussion.

A new idea has come up since this thread started: a "loaded" demo shop, showing potential Phoenix users what's possible by adding addons to a default install. The loaded demo would stand alongside the existing "out of the box" demo.

That means this thread now has a second purpose beyond the original Recommended-badge process:
addons that graduate here could also end up populating that loaded demo.

I could guess at what addons should go into a loaded shop - of course I could.
But I'd much rather crowdsource. Why?

1. Any addon that makes the cut gets the Recommended badge
- Helps the addon's visibility
- Helps the addon maker

2. Phoenix can position the loaded demo as crowdsourced
- instead of "what burt wants"

Please take a minute to really help Phoenix.
TY to all who have already been in this thread, appreciate you all.
