Browsing extensions

Discussion:

designermonkey: I intend to start work on organising and updating how we see and use our extensions in the context of this site. There are no concrete plans as of yet, but this thread will definitely help out in the quest.

Craig: I should also mention that I’m really keen on the idea of developing a system for dynamically browsing, installing, and managing extensions right in the back end, using an API that will be built into the new website. (The system would be optional, of course. Fallback would be the current behavior). If we’re able to pull that off, it will obviously change this conversation.

Concepts:

• deprecating extensions
• extension versions and Symphony version compatibility (http://symphony-cms.com/discuss/thread/34727/)
• merging similar extensions, a "See also" or "Similar extensions" list
• new extension ideas (List of wanted extensions, Extension ideas needed, Nick's todo list)

Deprecated and duplicate: https://gist.github.com/4e4db9274477b2e7e3ee

Extension popularity:

Can we highlight and/or feature the most popular extensions. An "I use this" as a boolean function of application. These forum threads discuss which extensions are considered most popular and/or useful:

• Default Extensions
