Kalendershop.be, based in Belgium, sells calendars, address books, floormats, diaries, printed with your favorite pet, star, personality ... to European Countries.
Enviorment - modules - configuration:
Currently running on Drupal 5.9, with Ubercart 1.0, upgrading soon to 1.3.
Used contrib modules:
uc_marketing (block on frontpage), uc_manufacturer, uc_taxex_price.
Shipping uc_regions, uc_worldquote to ship goods based on weight, different prices for different regions.
Theme based on bluebreeze, but I'll probably change this in the near future.
Payment options: Paypal and Bank deposit (uc_bankdeposit).
Localisation: with localizer 5.x-3.10 (enabled: localizer, language token, menu, taxonomy, variable and views).
Problems:
- It wasn't very easy to import all the existing data (Zen Cart), but finally with node import managed to do this.
- Currently disabled Secure Pages, because it seems to be incompatible with localizer.
- theme the product detailed page is not easy with images, but I'll look after this
- how to redirect outstanding url's from the Zen site (in google search) to an existing node so we don't loose too much ranking.
Search, Node Import (to import from existing Zen Cart site)
External Links to automatic open links in other window.
Added Site Map and xmssitemap to submit to search engines.
Concern: page rank due double content due localization categories, now a Dutch, English and Spanish version is available. Removed localization node, because if you don't add Product to be translated, new added products aren't showed anymore in the catalog. if someone has same issue, this can be the reason.
If someone has suggestions to improve the look of product page, any ideas are welcome. Other usability improvements are of course also more then welcome!
To Do:
- translate some website content in English / Spanish
- add French support
- theme product page more stylefull
- theme catalogue
- ...
If someone has any question, please feel free to contact me.
Uvercart, drupal folks, thanks for the nice work!!!

Re: Kalendershop - Calendarshop
Looks good! If you find any strings that are untranslatable (besides values stored in variables... that's a known issue), be sure to let us know. Also, I see you implemented VAT... if you can think of any core improvements that might make it easier for shops to implement VAT in the future, we'd love to hear about it.
