Plugins organizer for Shop-Script

Supported only in the new UI 2.0 interface

The "Plugins organizer" plugin works exclusively in the new UI 2.0 of Shop‑Script and supports both light and dark backend modes. This tool allows you to organize your plugins, simplifying their management in the backend.

Plugins Organizer for Webasyst Shop-Script

If you have a “plugins zoo” - a long list of names that is hard to navigate, the “Plugins Organizer” will help bring order. It adds categories, tags, search, and quick actions directly to the standard plugin sidebar in the Shop-Script backend. Navigation becomes convenient, and every tool can be found in seconds.

What problem does the plugin solve?

• Navigation in large installations: with 20-30 plugins or more, it’s easy to get lost and waste time.
• Visual clutter: inconsistent icons and descriptions make perception harder.
• No flexible grouping: by default, there are no categories, tags, or search for installed plugins.
• “Live” search for installed plugins: instead of instant filtering, you have to recall the exact name.

Functionality of the “Plugins Organizer”

Four view modes

• Classic: the familiar plugin list.
• Categories: custom groups with icons, counters, and nested plugins.
• Search: live search by name and description, filtering without reloading.
• Tags: a general list of tags with counts and quick filtering.

Plugin categories

• Create, edit, and delete categories with icon selection.
• Drag and drop plugins between categories and within them.
• Sort categories with saved order:
  
• Plugin counters in each category and in the “Unsorted” list.
• Separate sorting for unsorted plugins.

Plugin tags

• Quickly add and edit tags for a specific plugin.
• View all tags with counts and jump to the plugin list by tag:
  
  
• Clear all tags from a plugin.
• Display tags in the plugin card with an option to hide them.

Search

• Instant filtering without page reload:
  

Settings

• Enable/disable the Organizer.
• “Hide descriptions” for a more compact view.
• “Hide tags” for a simplified interface.

Reliability and autonomy

• Automatic creation of database tables during installation.
• Storing the order of unsorted plugins in a separate table.
• No changes to the Webasyst core or third-party plugins.

Compatibility and UI

• Supports Webasyst UI 2.0, RU/EN interfaces.
• Minimal network requests and fast response.

Advantages

• Speed: fewer clicks and scrolling, instant search.
• Scalability: order is preserved as the number of plugins grows.
• Flexibility: categories, tags, and compact view tailored to your tasks.
• Smooth UX: drag and drop, clear states, and neat tooltips.
• Clean integration: extends the default functionality without breaking familiar processes.
• Transparent storage: order and structure are stored in separate tables.
• Growth readiness: quickly organize “unsorted” into groups.

How does the plugin work?

The plugin integrates into the extended plugin page menu, adding a panel with section tabs. Actions like dragging, sorting, or editing categories and tags are performed via AJAX requests to the backend, and rendering happens on the client side. Data is loaded as needed, for example, when calling the tag summary list.

Who is it for?

• Stores with 20+ plugin integrations.
• Teams where structure and speed are important.
• Projects with frequent testing and changes, where tags and categories speed up work.

The Plugins Organizer is a tool that transforms a chaotic list of plugins into a neat and logical working catalog. It saves time, reduces attention load, and provides the flexibility needed to manage a growing set of tools. If you value order and want to speed up plugin navigation, this plugin will become your constant assistant.

The plugin has been tested and is fully compatible with PHP versions 7.4.33 - 8.3.15.
