Is there a common place where people share reusable customizations?

I believe this forum is used for that purpose.

I was thinking it would be good to have a register of addons that we can add to and peruse.

One thing that leaps to mind.... (though not an add-on) I hate getting lackluster confirmation emails from firms I buy from. I'd like to see a few really nicely laid out email templates... I'm just to the point of working on my own...

Anyone care to post one here and show what can be done with a little imagination??

I wanted to bump this to the top as I am having a hard time using the email templates and would love to see a good example to run with.

1. My most preferred add-on at the moment is my own QuickLink: http://www.acorns.com.au/projects/bv/quicklink
I use it every day whenever I have to write a support email either to generate some cool signatures and promote my products or to give customers details about the products without having to open the website and copy/paste links and descriptions.
2. I'm writing a flexible ProductFeed engine. Basically if you register your site to shopping engines they generally request a product feed where you expose all your products and prices and other bits and pieces. (E.g. http://www.bestgames.com...roviders/myshopping.aspx)
Now, writing one is easy, writing 10 different feeds is a pain in the back. I just finished (it's not deployed yet) a nice adding that all you need to do is tell it what columns you want exported and how to format them. If they shopping engine requires 10 columns you basically have to write .. 12 lines of code and you’re done. Quite nice to save time.
3. On top of this I've wrote a POS (Point-Of-Sale) system that is using the BVC infrastructure to do orders from a computer (preferable with a touch screen). I use it in my shop at the moment. It prints receipts, it has LayBy, returns and other bits and pieces. It fully integrates with my website, inventory, special offers and all bvc stuff.
4. I’m working on a proper template-ing engine that will allow you to write some really cool and complex email/print templates.
5. I finished a nice integration with my courier company that allows me to neatly publish on my site the tracking information they provide (http://www.bestgames.com.au/Shipping/CouriersPlease.aspx?id=13700000461)
6. Regarding templates at the moment I have my tax invoices, some nice notifications, credit card charge failure notifications, and packaing slips that print the barcode of my orders so all I do after I finished packaging I get the barcode reader and do a loop: scan order barcode, scan shipping coupon, scan order bacode, scan shipping coupon. It takes about 30 seconds per order to create the package with the correct tracking code.

Mitch, I can send you my notification emails. Very small and clean while also informative.

I wanted to bump this again, as I am still very interested in seeing other people's email templates or having a place to download sample templates.

Yes, please. Looking for a few fresh ideas. [email protected]


Aside... I've got a wholesale user (Apple user) who gets my emails a bit scambled - all formatting is lost. (I'm thinking he's just too stubborn to allow html, but I can't yell at him) Anyone else having a problem getting an html email to show up on the far end of the tube looking the way it's s'posed to?

Corneliu,

I like the personal touch on this. It's much better than the formal "copy of an invoice" that we use. I've been wanting to spend some quality time with these templates, you just gave me some great ideas. I will post back the results after i get them going.

Mitch,
I've published my email templates on my new BV Blog. I'd appreciated if others would share their templates. I'm very happy to publish them in the same place.
I think by sharing ideas we each improve our own websites and our customer experience.

Thanks Corneliu. I like the href back to the order in admin. I wouldn't have thought of that.

Corneliu,

You have great stuff on your blog. This has helped us out a lot. :) If you get the time, I am looking for a basic design for a weekly email that I can send my customers telling them about new products. Any ideas?

Joseph, one of my favorite web services happens to be an email campaign management service built for designers (since content design what campaigns are all about) called http://www.campaignmonitor.com. They have a pretty large package of free email templates that you can modify, whether you use their services or not.

I'd also recommend using them to send out your campaigns instead of what BV has built in, which isn't up to snuff and could cause you longer term issues like having your main hosted server blacklisted and taking up server resources.
