Fusion Drupal Themes by TopNotchThemes

GVS partnered with TopNotchThemes team (a support client) and 3281d Consulting to build TNT's flagship e-commerce site, FusionDrupalThemes.com.

FusionDrupalThemes.com offers free and premium Drupal themes, as well as yearly Fusion Pro support subscriptions. The site makes extensive use of Ubercart and Panels to create these features:

• Dashboards for site users, showing their forum posts, subscriptions, purchases, etc.
• Streamlined checkout process focused on improving conversion rates.
• An automated theme packaging system built by 3281d.
• An on-site customer ticket system with complex privacy functionality.

Notable pieces of Drupal functionality built with the GVS team include:

• Custom Panels panes that allow site builders to customize product and user profile pages without writing code.
• A customized documentation system that combines ApacheSolr weighting and faceting for automated content presentation, along with the Nodequeue and Smartqueue Taxonomy modules for a more customized .
• Performance tuning and optimization.
• Customized discount rules made possible by enhancements to Ubercart's discount functionality.
• Node access wrangling.

The Fusion site has a complex combination of node access requirements, including:

• Premium subscriber-only support forums.
• Certain users can mark their posts as 'private' to themselves and administrators.
• File downloads accessible only by users who have purchased it.

Drupal site builders know that getting multiple node access modules to work together, especially on the same content type, can be tricky. The Fusion site successfully combines the following node access modules:

• Private
• Organic Groups
• Forum Access
• ACL
• access_private
