Edited (2017-05-22) by @texnixe: There is a new Plugin Ideas subcategory now. Please use the new category to post your plugin ideas, request etc., I think this will help us to have more structure while keeping the discussion here in the forum. Thanks to @flokosiol for the suggestion :slight_smile:

Thanks @jenstornell for your great initiative with the GitHub repo, I donā€™t know if you want to keep it or not, now that we have the new category?

Iā€™m aware of that I linked to a few WordPress plugins, but they just plugins and are not a part of WordPress (core). There are probably similar plugins for Drupal and Joomla.

As long as all these things are not built into Kirby core, I think itā€™s fine. Even if there is a plugin that reminds of WordPress, you donā€™t have to use it.

I like the content staging idea, but Iā€™d rather have a git-based staging strategy (production site without the panel and a cron job that pulls from git, staging site with the panel and manually committing and pushing a batch of changes), and a plugin that helps with that strategy (e.g. add a button/page to the panel for doing the commit-and-push thing in PHP).

A full content staging mechanism in one Kirby instance would be much harder to do and more brittle, IMO. Helps people who donā€™t have git on the server or would have difficulties setting up 2 site instances, but not sure itā€™s best to push in that direction.

I just wanted to add that Iā€™ve not added all the plugins in the wishlist even if it may seem that way.

Iā€™ve not added the staging idea. Staging is a quite common need but a hard one to solve.

7

Yes, thatā€™s actually what I had in mind.

Another approach would be to use revisions (if this feature is ever available). We could make changes to any page and save them as a ā€œstagingā€ or ā€œpendingā€ revision. A button would then switch these staging revisions with the normal/prod pages.

Iā€™m working on such plugin, canā€™t wait to share with you all.

Just click on the link.

An easy-to-use shopping cart + payment gateway plugin, that can handle recurring subscriptions, gift vouchers and discount codes. It would be great to have a plugin for automatic integration with services such as SnipCart, FoxyCart, or that provide an easy way to implement things such as a Stripe Checkout widget, without having to write a complete shopping cart on our own.

A kirby panel plugin which nicely handles tables for editors.

Right now this is lacking, and I havenā€™t found a nice way yet to add this to kirby.
