web2dev Posted October 3, 2010 Posted October 3, 2010 Hi, Can anyone please advice me on what is the best order to setup contributions in a new osCommerce setup? I'm interested in the following contributions and I would like to know if can anyone advice me what would be the correct order of installing these contributions so the minimum changes/overwrites to files can occur. Simple Template System (STS) - http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/1524 Header Tags SEO V 3.0 - http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/5851 Article Manager v1.0 - http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/1709 UltraPics - MS2 Image Addon Pack! - http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/1642 or Simple Multi Image Add-on (Un-Limited) with FancyBox Popups http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/7008 ... which is better btw? Order Editor - http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/1435 ... what exactly does this contribution do? the description doesn't explain anything optionally these contributions maybe handy, but I'm not sure if setting up so many contributions is a wise thing to do. Optional Related Products 1.0 - http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/2293 Wishlist 2.0 - http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/1682 Discount Coupon Codes - http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/4269 Purchase Without Account - http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/355 thanks in advance George Quote
Jack_mcs Posted October 3, 2010 Posted October 3, 2010 The order you've listed is way I would do it, for what that's worth. The first three are the most important since Article Manager requires a working installtion of Header Tags and the installation of Header Tags changes if STS is installed. I don't recommend installing Ultra Pics though since it is not very well, if at all, supported. The Additional Images contribution is the better of the two, in my opinion.

Thank you very much for your input. The Additional Images contribution you're saying is that http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/1032 ? Because contributions search is not very accurate, since the module I link above was on the second column near the bottom... Thanks again George Quote
