The Poll about mambo-phpShop's most wanted Features is over. The results are clear and interesting. The most wanted feature is "Multiple Images per product" (119 votes). There are many ways to implement this feature and I'm currently trying out some gallery components to see if they have code that could be used, but maybe you know an easier but though professional way to build in this feature.
Second we have "Coupons" (87 votes). What a good feature it would be...and we all are still waiting for a reply to a post on this thread.
Ericthewebguy wrote that he has a "dirty" coupon hack. Well - even when
it's "dirty" - it could be useful and we simply clean it up.
Places 3-5 are close together: Multiple Currencies & Converting (75 votes), Product Datasheets (74 votes), pdf-Output (74 votes). I scheduled Multiple Currencies & Converting for a later major release. Although it's important, it's a feature which is not needed by smaller businesses. Product datasheets is a feature that maybe can be put together with an Image Manager to have a Media Manager for mambo-phpShop. You could easily manage all images and documents that are releated to a specific product. That would be the best solution....!? pdf-Output is not as complicated as it seems. I think I can write an integration script using the fpdf/html2pdf classes for that.
Product Counter/Meta Description (43 votes) is the last of the listed features. Although it's a helpful feature, it's not that important for managing the Shop.
These poll results will help me build up a Roadmap for mambo-phpShop.
Anyone of you, who
- is able to write some code snippets,
- is having good ideas how to implement a feature and
- already has written scripts/code for one of the features mentioned above
Interesting fact: a lot of guests used the Free Text Field to post wishes for features that are already integrated into mambo-phpShop such as downloadable goods support, SEF support and so on.
