Which extensions do you use for which kind of site?

PhillippOhlandt

Hey,

I am interested in which extensions people use for which kind of sites.
The results, if enough, will be used to create a few more extension collections on our store.

So, please feel free to post your configuration 🙂

All my websites use almost every blog collection extensions, BoltForms, TwigEmailObfuscator and Cookie Consent. I build only small websites with Bolt for the moment ;-)

Across the board would be:

BoltForms
Disqus
Sitemap

Increasingly:

Members
Audit

Sites I own:

Clippy (really!)

Most wanted:

I have almost the same list as Peter above, wit the exception of Wordpress db export, and sometimes the addition of MenuEditor.
I build mainly business sites, with 'representative' content.

It would be good to have a simple page that tells which extension can be used for what purpose, BTW. If you don't know what you're looking for, it can be hard to find.

evertalbers Have you seen this?: https://extensions.bolt.cm/collections
This thread is mainly to collect some more ideas for new collections.

PhillippOhlandt Nice! A couple of collections like that would get me on track as well, indeed.

The list of extensions that we use with Bolt vary depending on the client, but here is a list of the ones we have used:

Typical Website:
- MenuEditor
- SEO
- BoltForms
- Sitemap
- Form Editor
- Phone
- FAIconFieldType
- Google Analytics

Blogging Website
- Yearly & Monthly Archives

Simple Authentication
- Password Protect

Three good collections I can think of are:

SEO - SEO, Sitemap, and Google Analytics
Forms - Bolt Forms and Form Editor
Field Types - ....

Not really related to the original question, but i would really appreciate some kind of "curating" for the extensions.
- There is no info, which Bolt version the extension works for
- There is no info if an extension is actively maintained or abandoned long ago
- A lot of Extensions have one line (or less) of description on what they actually do

Personally i don't like to use extensions (except for the ones coming from the core bolt team like SEO and Boltforms) because i simply dont know if they will be working with the next bolt update...

I am building a sports blog. I am trying to use as many extensions as I can. I am currently using Google Analytics plugin, MenuEditor, Disqus, BoltForms, RelatedContent. Planning to use more social plugins. Will update this list when I use more.
