XHTML CRE Loaded
Its been suggested many many times but surely its time CRE moves towards becoming XHTML. Many people have made a start towards doing this its time people combined their work so we can remove all those tables in CRE and drag itself into the next decade.

Make categories turn on/off
Categories should be able to activated/deactivated like products can be. This is a very basic feature and is available in free carts like ZenCart. I moved to CRE loaded Pro and find that while many "advanced" features exist (like pages/articles), many of the basics are missing from CRE and included in Zen. No way should a pay cart have less basic features than a free one.

MVS and shipping estimator to work
MVS really needs the ability to show customers a shipping quote before entering in to the checkout process.. I would assume most customers would not checkout without knowing the shipping total

Thank you for your suggestion.
We will extend the logic of the shipping estimator to display total shipping cost output from MVS logic.

Provide support for CSS templates
The current templates use tables too much and make it hard to control the appearance of the content.

RSS Feed built into CRE Loaded
A RSS feed built into CRE Loaded would be very useful for many people:
http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/1513Does not require too much altering to get it to work with CRE. Yes people can add but why have simple things like this left out its an extra selling point

Automatic image resizing
Having to manually select Small, Medium and Large size images is a HUGE time drain. Using basic tools included on 98% of hosts, you can accept a large file and have it automatically resize to the other sizes.
Having worked in a dev environment (I was UI design), implementing a feature like this is pretty easy.

a way to set a min order qty in the admin per product
There needs to be a way to set a min order qty in admin per product so that eg you were selling products that need at least 10 min it will either add 10 to the cart or give an error when they add just one to the cart, or maybe you have a better way to display this.

Follow the forums
Have your developers review the fora regularly, especially to answer the questions that have not been responded to or actually answered. Also improve their search functions.

Please fix subproducts so that they work with parent product price breaks.
Subproducts are so awesome, but they are not functional when it comes to price breaks on a parent product. In my opinion, you may as well create individual parent products if you aren't going to use them for parent product price breaks. Thanks! (please!)

Create a real One-Page Checkout for new customers and returning customers.
The existing "one-page checkout" is actually more than one page. The personal information (shipping) and the billing information should all be on one page. I recommend the process be:
-Add to Cart button leads to cart.php
-Checkout button leads to login.php
-Checkout As Guest leads to billing_shipping.php
-billing_shipping.php would contain both the billing details and the shipping details.
-On the billing_shipping.php page would be a button, "Click to review order" leading to review_order.php
-After user reviews all information on page they hit Submit Order.Many ideas and good practices of shopping cart checkout areas can be found at smashingmagazine.com, a… more

Add a 2 field box to confirm customers emails
A lot of customers dont know how to spell their email address like hotmail or yahoo or just a typo. By adding a 2 box to confirm the email address it will help a lot. Especially when they created 2 accounts because the first one they never got their welcome email from the store owner. Lots of websites require people to confirm email address. You get what i mean.

Multiple Categories
During the creation of a product, you should be able to select a Default category and Additional Categories. Many products in my store (And others I am sure) are not restricted into one area.
At the very least, have an option to 'Copy to' multiple categories during the creation process. Copying a category full of products to multiple categories is a painstakingly slow process right now.

Modal Windows for Full Size Images
In an era of Web 2.0 features, having large images pop up into another window is so 1990's HTML. Having a global option or per product option to choose Lightbox or Magic Thumb to display the larger images makes for a better user experience.

Cheaper shipping cost selector
Let's say I can ship either FedEx, UPS or USPS.
I would be nice that CRE would automatically select from whatever shipping solutions are implemented in the cart the cheapest one so the buyer benefits from the lowest shipping rate available.6 votes -
Remove truncation limits for sub-products based on PID Name.
Anytime a main product name is altered, currently the sub-products are subject to truncation. Should be removed.
