Must have Admin side plugins

hcgtv · 2015-09-30 15:08:29

Many new Textpattern users install plugins to add needed functionality to their Admin. As time progresses and more sites are launched, you usually end up with the must haves, and forego the I can do withouts.

Measuring popularity via the resources site or this forum may not give an accurate picture, as I’ve outlined above. A plugin may have been downloaded X amount of times, and received it’s share of support requests, but today it may not get much usage after a new Textpattern release caused many to rethink their workflow.

This post is my asking you, current Textpattern users, what are your must have Admin side plugins?

Thanks.

GugUser, Yiannis and Michael, thanks.

I’ll start installing these plugins and see what functionality they add.

Keep ‘em coming!

gomedia, you appear to be a real fan of adi’s plugins ;)

36 plugins on the must-have list – adi (11), rah (9), smd (5)

Anyone given thought to a Textpattern demo with the most popular plugins installed?

towndock · 2015-10-01 13:26:51

My must haves:
bot_write_tab_customize
bot_privs
rss_admin_db_mgr
ebl_image_edit

Not must have – but used often:
glz_custom_fields
rah_post_versions

Yiannis, I know, I was just playing around.

GugUser, what is rah_knots/downloads ?

We’re steady at 36 after Keith’s list.

Yeah, done that quite a number of times, confused about how to save what I just edited.

Thanks for clarifying.
