So i have 3 sites all LAMP with OScommerce and they finally are up and running and doing ok. I want to get my programmers to install some of the nice OSC addons i see from the community and im wondering what OSC addons are must haves for ecomm widget related sites. All of my sites feed in products from a txt file and we have around 18k products.

Im liking the OSC affiliate mod, OSC sitemaps and OSC froogle/base are looking very nice. I have the SEO URL mod and that I am learning as i type this.

Any other MUST haves im missing or you guys recommend? Thanks!

The ones I have installed on all our oscommerce sites are:

AntiXSS [oscommerce.com] - hardly more than a .htaccess file that blocks cross site scripting attacks, to which oscommerce is vulnerable, current version also adds some .htaccess checks against SQL injection, although oscommerce is pretty robust in this area I think.

Quick Updates [oscommerce.com] - not needed if you run the sites purely from imports, but very useful if you need to make changes through the admin interface.

Recover Cart Sales [oscommerce.com] allows you to email customers who have created an account and then abandoned a cart - controversial I know, but the standard email written for the contribution is very well done and we've had a good positive response from it.

There are others, but they are mainly very simple ones I've used as a starting point for making my own customisations, so not much use to anyone else.
