5.) PDF format for invoice creation. I believe this can be implemented without installing components on a web server. This would be useful for multipart invoices and the customisation of an invoice.

6.) Auto-resize thumbnail images. Rather than just 'reducing the appearance of thumbnails in x-cart, whilst retaining the file size of a more larger image file, perhaps actual thumbnail files could be dynamically created through x-cart. With smaller image file sizes and consistent sizes, image quality and page loading time will be reduced.

8.) Couple of UK Payment gateways:

- Natwest fastpay
- HSBC

10.) The ability to add user defined custom fields to registration forms. For example adding a 'where did you hear about us list menu', further text fields etc. without having to 'hack the source code. Possibly functioning in a similar way to 'the extra fields for the products table.


I very much like these ideas. The Image resizing has been mentioned a few times in the forum and is one of the things that non computer savy people have a lot of problems with. This could work as an option and check to see if the graphics library is installed on the server. At the same time it could spit out a detailed image too if the original is big enough.
