Hi Gilles and Will and the rest of the DNN Store Community

I have been using DNN for a short while and am developing three sites for my clients, two of which are using the Store module.

http://www.lammashow.co.uk
http://www.worldcarparts.co.uk
http://vale.srcsolutions.co.uk (temp URL)

The car parts client has requested some mods, specifically to the Store and I beleive that some of them may be of interest to the rest of the store community.  I will be doing them any way and it would be great if they could be integrated back into the store.  Not least to minimise work for myself when the next upgrade is released !!

I have set up my own SVN for DNN, so I can track my changes pretty well.

The areas I will be looking at include:

• Exporting Sales data to csv (for use with another of my applications that imports data into Sage Account package)
• Considering adding a second Model number field, for use as a SKU.  For use where one stock item can be sold as two different products, possibly at two different prices.
• Displaying prices in multiple currencies
• PayFlow payment provider
• "Purchase Ledger Day Book"
• Selecting multiple open orders (from a single list) and marking them all (via a single button) as dispatched and printing address labels
• Ensuring Store pages are as "Google Friendly" as is reasonable.  (I have already submitted a forum post about this but it went to DNN:Chat rather than the store forum!?)
• Ability for customer to choose the shipping method if multiple methods are available for the current basket weight.

I also see that on the Gemini issue tracking there is an issue that has been checked-in about improving the handling of the delivery and billing addresses.  Is this already complete as it is something that I might need to look at?

What is the best way to submit mods for your consideration, to minimize the effort by you for including it in the project?  I understand that my mods are not guaranteed to be included.

Thanks

Stuart

Second thing I would like to contribute is a little bug-fix.

As the currency I use is £ I noticed that the default check-out page is not localised, so I used techniques found elsewhere in the store to localise the currency symbols on the check-out page.
