Would be nice to see some more features like::

:arrow: few options added to Featured products section in Admin:
>Add pull down menu with product listings and
>Add pull down menu with options for choosen product like:
-Featured Item
-Pick of the Week
-Pick of the Month
-Gift Ideas
-Exclusive Items
-New Arrivals
-Top Picks
-Season Special
-Holiday Special
-Sale Items
...
This will show product on the side dialogue box just like Bestsellers.

:arrow: Also would be nice to have option in Admin to set/display products on the side dialogue box like:
-New Items (random recently added products)
-Specials (random products with reduced price)
-Reviews (random customer product reviews)
-Hot Deals
...

:arrow: In View cart page add section "Customers who bought these items also purchased:" ...and button Add to cart under product's. This could boost sales, I really do buy something when I shop online and see something I want last minute

:arrow: Simplify checkout process, request as minimum info as possible.
:arrow: Pre-login shipping calculator
:arrow: Popup detailed images

Thank you X-Cart team for your hard work :!:
With RMA module and all the new features in X-Cart 4.0.0 there will be no competition to X-Cart. It simply the best :D

I'll Second FX's post some great ideas there!

I'd also like to see a Site map index for both the html catalog and php side.
Detailed pop up is a must for us with multiple detailed images

As I see You added SORT BY possibility :) Please, add one more future: SORT BY BEST SELLING... Please...

And try to fix problems with "Call-time pass-by-reference" issue.

NE1 have a demo of this running so I can take a peak at the changes?

Well,

How about taking the product review and place it some iin the menua areas either in the rigth or left menu.

Ramdom display of product reviews on product pages.
Way for the customer to look at all the reviews all at once.

I think this also should apply to product rating

Kind regards
Ricky

Guys try to remember to not just post Wishlist stuff here but actually findings on the Beta as is.

While nothing is ever bug free, I'm sure X-Cart has asked for our help so that they can launch a relatively stable product.

I added a membership price for the wholesale account
and if i searching for something i get everytime the error

Code:

If i searching for something, got this error: 

INVALID SQL: 1109 : Unknown table 'xcart_products_categories' in order clause 

SQL QUERY FAILURE: SELECT xcart_products.*, MIN(xcart_pricing.price) as price FROM xcart_products, xcart_pricing WHERE xcart_pricing.productid=xcart_products.productid AND xcart_pricing.quantity=1 AND xcart_pricing.variantid = 0 AND (xcart_products.product LIKE '%taken%') GROUP BY xcart_products.productid ORDER BY xcart_products_categories.orderby ASC LIMIT 0, 30

2. and i can not checkout cause i get every time the error, that my emailadress is invalid or the field is empty.

hi !!!

I have some suggestion for x-cart team

- add "order user profiles options" or add column in user profiles options

in order to define required fields if the user this carrying out a purchase, independently of which usuary he is registered or not
he is very useful not to ask too many data the user if simply it is wanted to register, and single more specific data are asked for to him if it carries out a purchase.
really: to ask for certain data to the client when it is really necessary

- add to the recommended, related and upselling product list thumbnails, and the possibility of adding them to the car
I created a free mod of these characteristics, in case it serves to you like example :wink:

- add search by BRAND
free mod already exists, would be a good example

- add meta tag field in product management section
very recommended when we generate HTML-catalog
also very useful if east hidden field in the finder is included.
it will help to that the clients find any product, and also those that interest to us that they find, in our store :wink:
I already implemented it in my store and I guarantee to you that the finder very is used in her

- add a pursuit of words introduced in the finder
it would be the perfect complement to the previous suggestion :wink:

- a manager of customers reviews
plissssssssssssssssssss :twisted:

- add send mail to departament if new customer review is added in "Email Note options"

greetings
