Simple improvements to opencart.com/extensions

Really simple changes to make the additional images when viewing an extension more user friendly.

1) Every third image at the end of the row, set margin-right: 0, this will allow 3 images per row and use up the empty space. E.g: http://www.opencart.com/index.php?route ... on_id=3135 with lots of images.
2) Add a rel="group" to the <a /> allowing FancyBox to generate the next/prev buttons to cycle all images. Very annoying open/close fancybox each time when you could click next

1. We have lost the picture descriptions that used to be shown with FancyBox when viewing a product image
Also any idea how these images are sorted?

2. When sorting extensions by "Rating", this would be a lot better if it also took into account the amount of ratings not just total rating.

Did a search and found this topic so rather than start a new one I thought Id hijack this one with some improvements Ive thought of as Ive been using the Extensions Directory a lot over the last few weeks.

OK so here they are numbered for your convenience:

1. On the Extension Directory homepage why are the featured banners not linked to their respective products. It means you have to type the mod name in the search bar and search for it rather than just being able to click on the banner and booya Im there. I also wonder how you get your mod banners to appear here, its seems to be a lot of the same ones appearing time and time again?

2. Again on the Extension Directory homepage I think there should be more than 12 mods showing. Maybe also included a dropdown to select the number of mods to show, or a "View All" link.

3. I would like to be able to select multiple categories for Mods. For instance I have a Mod that is a Mod and also includes a VQmod, Ive packaged them together and would like to not have to list them twice in seperate categories.

4. Id like to see the number of downloads displayed for everyone to see on the front end.

5. What about an extend license. So people could say buy exclusive rights to a theme and its then not for sale on the marketplace. And/Or themes and mods could have extended licenses for usage limits. So if you want to use it on 5 websites then you have to pay more etc.

6. Improved search. Ive included certain key terms in my mod description, tags etc but it still doesnt show. What does the current search rank on?

7. There is space in the left sidebar for a "Bestseller" or "Latest Extensions" module.

Thats my two cents for now O0

Cheers

1. A wish list

at the moment I have to bookmark potential mods i am interested in.



2. Linked Developer Name in category list

I like to visit each developer to see all of their mods.



3. 5 star Rating in category list below mod image
