Our Free Magento Extensions…So Far

For those of you who are new to the blog I’d like to take a moment to show you our competely Free Magento Extensions, what they do and how to get them.

Here at E-commerce web design we feel obliged to help the Magento Community in as many ways as possible – developing Free Magento Extensions based on problems in the Magento code or opportunities that we have spotted for all the types of businesses we develop Magento sites for.

We recommend downloading our extensions from Magento Connect as whenever we update our extensions if you have downloaded via Magento Connect you will be notified of the latest updates.

Here is a round-up of all our extensions so far!

The free shipping incentive allows you to specify free shipping in the back-end of your Magento site – all you need to do is enter your minimum qualifying price and the extension does the rest! You will see a new block appear in your left/right column that will calculate the remaining amount left to spend in order to qualify for free shipping.

You can download the files from our Magento Free Shipping Incentive page or download Free Shipping Incentive from Magento Connect.

The Mass landscape shipping labels extension allows you to mass-select your orders/invoices and select from a drop-down “print shipping label”. This saves the administrator the job of entering each order and printing each shipping label individually.

You can download the files from our Magento Shipping Label Extension page or download Mass Landscape Shipping Labels Extension from Magento Connect.

The Magento SEO Sitemap Extension is our most popular extension at the moment. It renders a new page that automatically lists your CMS pages and Categories and Sub-Categories automatically as you create them. This is a valued alternative to the clunky magento categories sitemap that comes by default.

You can download the files from our Dynamic SEO Sitemap for Magento page or download Magento SEO Sitemap from Magento Connect.

The Optimised Contacts Page extension enabled you to set meta data and other company information on the standard contacts page of Magento. Normally this page is a big issue as it is not as customisable as any other CMS page. This extension makes your life easier for customising and keeping this important page ranking well in the search engines.

You can download the files from our Optimised Contacts Page Extension page or download Optimised Contacts Extension from Magento Connect.

The Order Before X extension enabled you to set a time when you can offer a certain promotion – such as next day delivery. The extension then shows a countdown clock until that time – applying to your site a sense of urgency for checkout. The extension also comes with customisable text and the option to disable the extension from showing on certain days.

You can download the files from our Order Before X Extension page or download Order Before X from Magento Connect.

The Optimised Product Addition extension removed the fiddly bits from the “add product” feature in Magento. It sets as default the product to “enabled” sets stock to “in stock” and there is also an experimental feature that attempts to auto-increment your SKU field if your database works with it.

You can download the files from our Optimised Product Addition page or download Optimised Product Addition from Magento Connect.

The Latest Tweet From Twitter extension does exactly what is says on the tin! You can enter your Twitter username and it will grab the last 1-10 tweets and display them in the sidebar. You also set advanced options in the admin area such as displaying links in your tweets and opening links in new windows.

You can download the files from our Magento Twitter Extension page or download Free Magento Twitter Extension from Magento Connect.

We will continue to create Free Extensions all the time and we’d really like to hear from you if you have an idea for an extension or just a problem on an existing site that an extension would be suitable for – as long as it will help others with the same problem of course!
