OctopusBooks.ca Site Upgrade

We recently upgraded the OctopusBooks.ca website from Drupal 4 to 5. In the process, we decided to upgrade the eCommerce module to the new Ubercart 1.0 shopping cart.  There are many flexible product and shipping options available in Ubercart and the whole shopping process is more slick and simple.

New blocks were added to take showcase the in-house and aggregated content that had been added to the website but was not being highlighted.  The blocks ranging from 'News' to 'Reviews' were randomized to give the site a fresh look each visit.

As well, we decided to rid the site of the categories module which was under-utilized and problematic for other modules.  Going back to the taxonomy module means simpler category control.

You can browse for books and news at the new website:
