Re: Top Plugins
I do not use all of the following, but consider all very valuable
- Mary’s image popper
- Zem’s Contact
- TXP.icio.us
- Rob Sable’s rss_admin_db_manager
- Rob Sable’s LiveSearch
- wet_thumbfilter
- Hit_logger (if it ever would be final)
- chs_if_urlvar
and many more…
Would be great if some more people could add their most liked plugins :) would be a great resource for newbies.

Re: Top Plugins
5 at random
- mary’s upm_img_popper & upm_file_packets – for associating images & files with articles, plus making it much easier to insert these into articles
- zem_contact
- chs_if_urlvar – handy
- glx_admin_image_resize – would like to see more of this functionality in the core, good for contributors to upload and resize pics
- jnm_recent_comments_unique – more elegant recent comments/commenters display

Re: Top Plugins
- upm_img_popper & upm_file_packets – both very useful
- zem_contact – also using the newer version zem_contact_reborn, both are buggy
- ako_nav – really useful and very simple
- cbs_category_list – very good
- vdh_flickr – very, very good plugin
Less used, but useful:
- glx_admin_image – not quite got used to this one, but it is good to have something that can edit images
- aba_image_import – latest version needs a little work but useful if you have a lot of images to import
- wet_slimpattern – simple plugin to include SlimStat a very, very good stats package
- rss_live_search – use this for one client’s site. Nice
- ob1_googlenav – useful google style next/previous page links
I prefer to use at few plugin as possible, its hard to keep track of them all and less work. But the above are quite essential for me.

Re: Top Plugins
I’m using quite a lot of plugins, but these are the ones I am not likely going to dump (unless they’ll stop working or I find a native TXP way to do it):
- zem_contact_reborn
- zem_ir
- zem_link
- mkp_version
- rsx_page_number
- sdr_guestbook4.0
- sgb_error_documents and sgb_url_handler (yes, still using those)
- wet_slimpattern
This is one that never got further developed, but is quite interesting:

Re: Top Plugins
@everybody
Thanks so much for the replies. This list is starting to show some patterns. I will compile a list of the favs soon. FYI, Alexandra has bumped this topic over on the Textpatter forum and there are a few more responses there for any of you following this thread.

Re: Top Plugins
This is a bit difficult because certain plug-ins I was using last year have now been superceeded by the base code so I no longer use them however if forced to stick to what was good last year:-
zem_contact (replaced by zem_contact_reborn)
ob1_if_section (no longer used)
glx_if (no longer used)
ob1_title (no longer used)
ob1_googlenav
mem_glinklist
glx_gravatar (original version)
sdr_guestbook
ajw_comment_alt
ajw_comments_feed
