**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 🙂

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

I’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 it’s fine. Even if there is a plugin that reminds of WordPress, you don’t have to use it.

I like the content staging idea, but I’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 don’t have git on the server or would have difficulties setting up 2 site instances, but not sure it’s best to push in that direction.

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

I’ve not added the staging idea. Staging is a quite common need but a hard one to solve.

Yes, that’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 “staging” or “pending” revision. A button would then switch these staging revisions with the normal/prod pages.

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](http://snipcart.com), [FoxyCart](http://foxycart.com), or that provide an easy way to implement things such as a [Stripe Checkout](https://stripe.com/checkout) widget, without having to write a complete shopping cart on our own.

@thesmithy please correct me if I’m wrong, but AFAIK Shopkit does not support subscriptions or gift vouchers…

A kirby panel plugin which nicely handles tables for editors.

Right now this is lacking, and I haven’t found a nice way yet to add this to kirby.
