fleeced Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Hi, I am thinking about building my 5 year old modified oscommerce site from scratch again using the latest oscommerce-2.2rc2a.zip download. What contributions would you recommend as critical or the best out there. My Top 10 list is 1) Easy Populate 2) STS and HTC bundle 3) Google XML Sitemap 4) Google Analytics contribution 5) All Products 6) Ultimate SEO URLs 7) Register Globals 8) Order Editor 9) UltraPics - MS2 Image Addon Pack! 10) Credit Class & Gift Voucher Any suggestions to add are most welcome with reasons. Thanks :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥kymation Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 2.2RC2a has a Register Globals compatibility layer built in, so you can get rid of #7. I would replace All Products with a Site Map for your customers and an XML Sitemap (your #3) for the search engines. I'm not convinced that #6 does anything at all. For the rest, it all depends on what you will be selling and how you want your store to work. Maybe you would get better recommendations if you told us more about your store.

Thanks :-) 1 - It's important to use the correct version. The latest by sufalot is usually the one to trust. 2 - HTC hasn't been updated for close to two years. Use Header Tags SEO. 3 - Google XML Sitemap SEO. 4 5 - Should be All Products SEO. 6 - The version is important. Be sure to use 2.1d. 7 - Not needed. 8 9 - Outdated, not well supported and contains code that doesn't belong in it. Use Additional images. 10 - Use the traditional version.
