Instructions
Installation instrucitons may be found in the readme.txt included in the distribution package. After registering your license key, you can either use the "Product File Name Pattern" and upload the product files quickly with an FTP program, or you can upload individual product files through the "File Attachments" interface in the Product Details (Admin » Stores » 'your store' » Products » 'product xyz' » Email Attachments). You can combine both methods, fo course too - i.e. using the pattern for file names matching the product code (or another token or expression), and uploading individual files that do not match the pattern, through the Product Details.
You can use the module to attach the same file with every order (i.e. the license agreement) - in the MmATTACH » softgoods settings, put the file name instead of a variable/token expression into the "Product File Name Pattern".
We recommend using files of maximally up to several hundreds of kilobytes. Emailing huge files could cause serious delays during the checkout and common mailboxes are often limited in size and may refuse huge attachments. We also recommend avoiding executable files (*.exe, *.js, *.com,...) - many email clients and antivirus programs are set to block them. Use zipped archives instead.

MmDbDOC - truXoft Data Doctor and Miva Database Editor
MmDbDOC is a tool for testing and repairing corrupted databases and database indexes. It allows you to remove duplicate records from any Merchant or non-Merchant database quickly and without downloading or importing them, directly through the Miva Merchant Admin web interface. There are three different ways of the duplicate records repair:
manual selection - you can select which of the duplicate records you keep, and remove the remaining one(s)
manual editing - you can edit the duplicates so that you keep several or all of them in the database but change the unique identifier field(s) so that the duplicate key in the index is avoided
fully automated - MmDbDOC will automatically remove all duplicate records from the selected database, keeping always the first found record in the duplicate set
MmDbDOC can be also used for viewing databases. This feature is invaluable for quick database verification, for retrieving data not accessible through Miva Merchant Admin (i.e. customer passwords, module settings, basket data, affiliate data, ...). Please note: We recommend viewing the raw databases containing sensitive data (passwords, email addresses, payment data) in secure mode only (SSL / https).
The PRO version includes a full featured database editor for modifying any Miva Merchant or 3rd party database tables. Fields may be quickly modified without downloading or exporting any data. New records may be added or old ones deleted. You can duplicate whole blocks of records with a simple click and edit them afterwards.

Please note: truXoft Ultra Batch is required for the full functionality of the standard or PRO versions. The free version of Ultra Batch that comes with MmDbDOC, allows you to see maximally up to three records at a time.
Support
truXoft offers limited free support within 30 days after the purchase of the module. Issues not included in the free support:
Information about the structure of Miva Merchant databases
Information about individual database tables or the database fields
Information about relations between individual Miva Merchant database tables
Help with repairing or editing of databases
Any other issues not directly related to MmDbDOC
Important note: The database editor in the PRO version was designed for advanced users who understand the basic structure of Miva Merchant databases. MmDbDOC allows you to edit the raw data, but makes no verification of the data you added, modified or removed. If multiple tables are in a relation, it is the user who has to insure to edit all related tables appropriately to avoid breaking the cross table links. Unqualified editing of the databases may corrupt the store. We highly recommend backing up the entire domain and store data before removing duplicate records (repair) or before editing the databases. truXoft bears absolutely no liability in case of loss of data, corrupted databases or a broken Miva Merchant store. If any such case should occur, please restore the original data from the backup.
After repairing or editing any database, you have to pack both domain and store data in Admin!
Instructions
Installation instrucitons may be found in the readme.txt included in the distribution package. After registering your license key, in Ultra Batch (Xadmin) screen in the main frame of Miva Merchant Admin, click on the tab "databases", select the mode "database list" and click the OK button. Ultra Batch will show you the list of all pre-defined databases.
If a corrupted database with duplicate records is detected, the "Repair" button appears right in the line of the concerned database. By clicking it, you access the repair interface and see the first found set of duplicate records.
You can either:
select the record you want to keep (click "KEEP Selected"),
or edit the records to avoid the duplicate key (edit the fields with light blue background so that the resulting key is different at each record) and click the button "Keep multiple"
or let MmDbDOC repair the database unattended (click "Automated Repair")
In case of manual repair, as described above in 1) and 2), you have to repeat the operation with each duplicate set individually. Normally, you should use the default mode of Ultra Batch hiding deleted records - select "standard" in the first small dropdown box in the right part of the Ultra Batch control panel. In case you use the mode "all", you'll have to navigate through the duplicate sets with the help of the navigation buttons right below the Ultra Batch control panel.
The navigation buttons can be used also when you want to preview all duplicate sets before starting to repair them. Please note that the filter expression (top left) and pagination (top right) of Ultra Batch have influence on the MmDbDOC output. When low numbers are selected in the pagination in sake of faster page loads, use the navigation buttons to proceed to the next page. It applies also for the database list, not only for the repair and edit interface of MmDbDOC.
Before starting to repair or edit databases with MmDbDOC, it is recommended to put the store into maintenance mode. Use the first button (the lock) in the Ultra Batch panel to close and re-open the store. We also highly recommend to back up the entire Miva Data directory containing the databases, before performing any operation on the data with MmDbDOC.
If you experience a runtime error in the store front or Admin, where the message speaks about a database index, copy the message, and after opening the mode "parse error" in the "databases" tab of Ultra Batch, paste the error into the displayed field. MmDbDOC will look up the databases and launch the repair interface.
In case you need to repair a database not listed, you can select the "3rd party dB" mode and enter the database and index paths manually to start the repair function.
Database viewer (demo and standard versions), or the database editor (PRO version) can be launched by clicking the requested database alias in the database list.
IMPORTANT: after repairing or editing any database, you have to pack both domain and store data in Admin!

The ultimate Miva Merchant autoresponder module - send specialized emails at the completion of the order. These emails are in addition to or in place of the standard emails which are sent at order completion, e.g. merchant notification, customer confirmation and even vendor specific notification.
Features: (some features are only in the compiled version)
- Autoresponder - specialized emails at the completion of the order
- Merchant notification and customer confirmation
- Vendor and product specific templates
- Include coupons or promo codes when specific products ordered
- Easy to use checkbox configuration of vertical or horizontal layout emails
- Highly configurable free form template layout emails with embedded tokens
- HTML or text email formatting
- Archive flat file is created for each template, easily track sales activity
- Mail Manager Report module can display the flat file contents by time period or product
- Ship to, bill to and other email addresses for each template
- Send emails to your company's internal departments, e.g. shipping
- Emails to web enabled cell phones
- Open architecture so that other events can also trigger an automated response
- Send a welcome email before the order completes and include a promo code
- Include 3rd party data with tokens, e.g. Addendum responses
- Display shipping and payment invoice messages
- Create packing slip and label emails
- Ship to country address formatted according to the applicable country's postal recommendations
- Restrict email to a specified order dollar value range, reward big spending customers with a coupon
- Restrict email to a specified list of countries, thus allowing for language specific emails
- MMUI and OpenUI compatible. No editing of the mmui.mv is needed and no OpenUI hook points are used
In admin, you create one or more template emails. Each
template can be different, i.e. what it displays, how the
data is oriented on the screen/paper, and what product(s)
triggers the autoresponder. Most responses are triggered
by the product codes purchased. Some example uses:
Email to any of your
drop-ship manufacturers listing the Ship To
address and the products to be shipped if using real time credit
card authorization. The module will sort out which drop shipper gets which emails, including listing the products to be shipped. You can still use the module if you are not using real time authorization, but you would send the email to your pending mailbox until manual processing verified the charge, then forward to the drop shipper. This would save hand entering the order. In addition to the email, an archive flat file is created which you can use to easily track sales activity related to each of your drop-ship manufacturers.
Email to Ship To or Bill To or both thanking them for
a
donation to your sponsored charity on your site.
Email to
your shipping department listing Ship To address
and products ordered if using real time credit card
authorization. Products section can be torn/folded to
result in a shipping label with your company address included. If not using real time authorization, use the pending mailbox technique similar to the drop shipper scenario above.
Email a
promo coupon code if a customer purchases a specific
product or from a list of products
Email service, warranty, shipping and contact information on
specific products or
product lines
Send an email to your cell phone's text messaging
when orders are placed in your store (requires a cell phone
plan that assigns an email address to your phone)
You own a mall with multiple stores within the mall. Those
store owners rent the stores from you for a percentage of
their gross. Use mail manager as an audit tool to track their
sales. In addition to the autoresponse email, mail manager
produces a flat file with order ID, date, product name,
product code, quantity, price for each, and price extended.
Periodically retrieve that flat file and import into a spreadsheet
for easy analysis.
With compiled Merchant, the included Mail Manager Report
module can display the contents of that flat file
through admin. It can filter the report by specific time
periods (daily, weekly, monthly) within reason. The limits
of your PC or server may prevent very lengthy reports for
excessively long time periods. It can also limit the
report to only one product code. Since the templates can
be designed for each vendor, you can create individual
vendor flat files with a corresponding report for each
vendor.
Literally, you can have a different autoresponder for every
product in your store.
However, Mail Manager has a somewhat open architecture so that other events can also trigger an automated response. For example:
Send a
welcome email before the order completes, but after
the customer completes the registration process (for those that
create an account)
Send a thank you for
rating a product (using our Rate This system)
along with a coupon code for taking the time to do so
Essentially any event in the mmui, oui or even another third party module can trigger an email which you write for the
particular event
You can use the
ifvar script or var token in these "other event" emails. For example, generate a unique
coupon code with a module token and insert it in the welcome email to give the new customer an incentive to buy now. If you don't have an account with us yet, sign up and you'll see how it works.
As you can see, the uses of this Mail Manager are quite
diverse. Some of the variable features configured through
admin for each template are:
In the compiled version is a free form template using an
extensive list of
tokens and mini-scripts to customize the emails that
are sent at the time of order completion. They can vary
from mimics of the standard
merchant notification and customer confirmation emails to brief order notifications for better acceptance within cell
phone emails. The emails can be plain text or HTML formatted emails for better readability. You can change the fonts, colors, layout and even add images to your confirmation and notification emails. You can include data from other 3rd party modules, like Addendum, by using tokens. You can also create label emails with the "ship to" country address formatted according to the applicable country's postal recommendations when using the HTML template.
Customize your email and store's physical address
Designate email recipient, i.e. Ship To and/or Bill To and/or fixed email address
List full or partial Ship To and/or Bill To address
Restrict email to a specified order dollar value range, reward big spending customers with a coupon for their next visit
Restrict email to a specified list of countries, thus allowing for language specific emails
Write a different body for each of the email templates you add
Link to one or more product codes or entire inventory with wildcard
No need to go to each product to link the email, a copy and paste from a flat text file will add hundreds instantly
I'd be surprised if you find that this capability
exists anywhere in any mid-priced shopping cart system.
Autoresponders that fill in the blanks are one thing, but
this is a store owner, pre-planned autoresponse for a
specific product. Within your store, you could have dozens
of different responses (individual or grouped) or a
wildcard response for all of the products. You can use it
to make connections not directly related to sales, yet
linked to a specific sale.
Customer buys a kayak from your store. Tell them about
the kayak camp 20 miles from your store and give them the 800 number of the guy with the info about a big get together next month.
Customer buys an orchid from you which would lead you to believe he/she may have a specific variety you have been looking for. You autorespond with your want list for your nursery in hopes of finding the needle in a haystack.
As you can see, this list could be endless. Targetted,
intelligent autoresponders are designed to increase your store's
business and decrease the amount of time employees spend on sending out product specific, followup emails.
MMUI and OpenUI compatible. No editing of the mmui.mv is needed and no OpenUI hook points are used. Thus, module conflict does not occur. The pre-formed templates are easy to configure and do not require programming experience. In the compiled version of Merchant (4.14 and newer), you
also have the option of using tokens and mini-scripts in free form templates. An example free form template is included with the install documents.
The ultimate Miva Merchant autoresponder module - send specialized emails at the completion of the order. These emails are in addition to or in place of the standard emails which are sent at order completion, e.g. merchant notification, customer confirmation, vendor specific notification, and even cell phone emails. It also can send welcome emails when a new customer account is created. This module is for MIVA Merchant 5.x. We also have the corresponding module for an older version of Merchant.
Features: - Autoresponder - specialized emails at the completion of the order - Merchant notification and customer confirmation - Vendor and product specific templates - Can limit sending based on a specific attribute/option code for a product - Include coupons or promo codes when specific products ordered - Optionally require an input to allow the email, e.g. a response from Addendum - Easy to use checkbox configuration of vertical or horizontal layout emails - Highly configurable free form template layout emails with embedded tokens - HTML or text email formatting - Archive flat file is created for each template, easily track sales activity - Mail Manager Report module can display the flat file contents by time period or product - Ship to, bill to and other email addresses for each template - Send emails to your company's internal departments, e.g. shipping - Emails to web enabled cell phones as abbreviated messages - Open architecture so that other events can also trigger an automated response - Can resend emails when the customer knows and enters their order number and email address - Use render token to send an email from any pagein the store - Send a welcome email before the order completes and optionally include a promo code, customer login and password - Include 3rd party data with module tokens, e.g. Addendum responses - Display shipping and payment invoice messages - Create packing slip and label emails - Ship to country address formatted according to the applicable country's postal recommendations - Restrict email to a specified order dollar value range, reward big spending customers with a coupon - Restrict email to a specified list of countries, thus allowing for language specific emails

Email to any of your drop-ship manufacturers listing the Ship To address and the products to be shipped if using real time creditcard authorization. The module will sort out which drop shippergets which emails, including listing the products to be shipped. Unlike some other vendors' drop ship notification modules, this one only includesthe products belonging to the associated drop shipper. Thus a drop shipper doesnot see the products being supplied to the customer by other drop shippers when the order contains multiple product sources. Youcan still use the module if you are not using real time authorization, but you would send the email to your pending mailbox until manual processingverified the charge, then forward to the drop shipper. This would savehand entering the order. In addition to the email, an archive flatfile is created which you can use to easily track sales activity related to each of your drop-ship manufacturers.
Email to Ship To or Bill To or both thanking them for a donation to your sponsored charity on your site.
Email to your shipping department listing Ship To addressand products ordered if using real time credit card authorization. Products section can be cut/folded to result in a shipping label with your company address included. If notusing real time authorization, use the pending mailbox technique similarto the drop shipper scenario above.
Email a promo coupon code if a customer purchases a specificproduct or from a list of products

You can use the ifvar script or var token in these "other event" emails. For example, generate a unique coupon code with a module token and insert it in the welcome email to give the new customer an incentive to buy now.
Use a render token to send an email from any page in the store. For example, put it on the product page to send a specific email when a specific product's page is viewed by a customer who is logged in. The email goes to their password recovery address (but could be bill to or ship to address). If you want it sent to a hard coded address, e.g. yours to monitor traffic,you would put your email address in the 3rd parameter of the token. The uses of this feature are endless. Send a coupon to entice customers to buy when they visit specific product screens. Tell them about other products related to the one they just viewed.
As you can see, the uses of this Mail Manager are quite diverse. Some of the variable features configured through admin for each template are:
Show or hide any of the data elements
Orient your email either horizontally or vertically
There is also a free form template using an extensive list of tokens and mini-scripts to customize the emails that are sent at the time of order completion. They can vary from mimics of the standard merchant notification and customer confirmation emails to brief order notifications for better acceptance within cell phone emails. The emails can be plain text or HTML formattedemails for better readability. You can change the fonts, colors,layout and even add images to your confirmation and notificationemails. If your shipping and payment modules are configured withinvoice notices, these can be included in the emails with a token. You can include data from other 3rd party modules, like Addendum, by using tokens. You can also create packing slip and label emails with the "ship to" country address formatted according to the applicable country's postal recommendations when using the HTML template. In the free form template you canalso set the time so that it can be offset from the server time,thus display for a different time zone in each of your emails.
Customize your email and store's physical address
Designate email recipient, i.e. Ship To and/or Bill To and/or fixed email address
List full or partial Ship To and/or Bill To address
Restrict email to a specified order dollar value range, reward big spending customers with a coupon for their next visit
Restrict email to a specified list of countries, thus allowing for language specific emails
Resend order emails if the customer knows and enters the order number and email which match the actual order. The form for these two data elements can be placed anywhere you can edit the store user interface, e.g. headers, footers, welcome screen.
You can specify the product code and an attribute/option value that must also be met before the email will be sent. This is particularly useful when the emails are used for vendor notification. A certain product might bedrop shipped by two different vendors and the only difference is the selected attribute/option value.
Insert a "require" token that has to be met before the email will be allowed. As example,have a checkbox using Addendum to ask a customer if they want to be added to a list server (mailing list). Then if they check the box, the "yes" response is sent to Mail Manager. The Mail Manager can then generate a specifically formatted email to activate an email address at your list server, if you have one.
Write a different body for each of the email templates you add
List products and prices or just the products without prices
Link the email usage to one or more product codes or entire inventory with wildcard
No need to go to each product to link the email, a copy and paste froma flat text file will add hundreds instantly
I'd be surprised if you find that this capability exists anywhere in any mid-priced shopping cart system. Autoresponders that fill in the blanks are one thing, but this is a store owner, pre-planned autoresponse for a specific product. Within your store, you could have dozens of different responses (individual or grouped) or a wildcard response for all of the products. You can use itto make connections not directly related to sales, yetlinked to a specific sale.
Customer buys a kayak from your store. Tell them about the kayak camp 20 miles from your store and give them the 800number of the guy with the info about a big get together next month.
Customer buys an orchid from you which would lead you to believe he/she may have a specific variety you have been looking for. You autorespond with your want list for your nursery inhopes of finding the needle in a haystack.
As you can see, this list could be endless. Targetted, intelligent autoresponders are designed to increase your store'sbusiness and decrease the amount of time employees spend on sendingout product specific, emails.
The pre-formed templates are easy to configure and do not require programming experience. For the more experienced, you also have the option of using tokens and mini-scripts in free form templates. An example free form template is included with the install documents.
WonderDesk is a fully automated web based help desk. It's a Perl CGI-script that easily installs on your website. Replace your support email link with the WonderDesk, and say goodbye to that messy email inbox and support requests that fall through the cracks.

"Call" tracking - customers can track the status of their request at any time
Full admin capabilities - allows multiple technicians to handle requests
Technician assignment - depending on categories and status, different technicians get calls - and calls can be reassigned to any technician

Logging of EVERYTHING - so WonderDesk can be used to log all phone calls also!
WonderDesk carries NO monthly fees. It is installed on your server. Requires cgi access & telnet for standard version and MYSQL for the SQL version.
There are two plans (see price options). The basic versions require the Wonderdesk logo appear on each page, the option for no logo is available.
Upon the order completion the module creates a temporary directory with cryptic name (you can define the length of the random cryptic directory name), locks it with user name/password and copies there all ordered products or documents that are set up for download (or remote access - e.g. at courses or member restricted websites). Beyond the (optional) login/password, it allows an additional security with (optional) crosschecking of cookies, IP address, browser version and several other parameters. You can also set the account expiration time after which the directory will be automatically removed. All this runs with symbolic links, it means the original files or documents are stored out of the public area, in the Miva data directory and they are not transferred or copied physically. So for example if you have a software product or a document for download of 1MB and 100 active customers, it does not take 100MB of disk space, but still just 1MB - and additionally the account creation is much faster and less resource intensive than when copying whole files.
Notifications with the download links may be sent to the customer either immediately upon the purchase with a selected payment method (e.g. a credit card) or after approving the order manually from the Ultra Batch Report. If you do not own the Ultra Batch module, you can use the MmHTML (Merchant Notification Email module) instead of the MmHTMLc (Customer Confirmation Email module) and forward the received Merchant notification e-mail to the customer after approving the purchase.
Software, Content, Website access delivery through protected URLs
Multiple protection: cryptic URL name, password, IP address, host name, cookie, browser version, language settings,...
MmPASS optionally either re-uses Miva Merchant passwords or generates own secure random passwords of defined length.
Account expiration time may be set from seconds to years long
Subsequent orders of a customer may be optionally kept in his personal folder or in a new folder with separate settings and protection.
No neccessity to set up each product individually. All files may be set up quickly with a single customizable name pattern to avoid complicated settings.
Original data are stored in the non-public Miva data directory with no access from the web.
No files are being copied - only a single set of the original files remains on the disk. Virtual copies are created without moving any data, through symbolic links.
Solution with symbolic links means no additional disk space requirements
Creating symbolic links is much faster and less resource intensive than copying of files
NO external cgi programs are necessary and therefore high compatibility and easy installation is provided
Each product may be associated with a single or multiple files, documents, directories, URLs or with a whole tree structure.
You can mix software and hardware (downloadable and non-downloadable products)
Different files / URLs may be optionally offered for products with attributes / options.
Product attributes / options may be served as independent products (same file for all products) or another file may be defined for each product/attribute combination.
At each product, different files may be served for users depending on their location or other parameters.
You can deliver the URLs do the customer immediately upon payment (with MmHTMLc) or later after a manual approval (with MmHTML or with MmPSLP and the Ultra Batch Report)
NEW: You can select payment methods for automated and manual processing
NEW: members/customer may now use common entry URL (simple to remember)
NEW:Admin interface in Ultra Batch - account managment
NEW:individual expiration time for each product may be set now
Supports Miva Merchant 2, 3 and 4 on Unix / Apache and with some restrictions also on Windows servers
Does not require OpenUI. Works with both OUI and MMUI.
No OUI hook conflicts - truXoft modules are 100% conform to the Miva Merchant API, they do not use OUI extensions and therefore never cause hook conflicts with other modules, otherwise common at OUI modules.

All plug-in modules can be added to Celestia Lite. If you need additional functionality and want to add it to your website, simply plug-in the module that provides that functionality. Checkout a full list of available plug-in modules.
This unique module automatically suggests products customers might be interested in, providing a "customers who bought this also bought" type of functionality. It analyzes a product, or even an entire basket, and, based on previous purchases containing the same items and relevancy options, calculates the top X most related products.
Related products may be displayed on the product, basket, and/or first checkout pages. All the familiar display options for line-item vs expanded display, optional fields, etc., as well as additional display options, are configurable separately for each page.
How it works: When first installed the module queries any existing orders on your server and builds a related products index. This index is updated as new orders are placed, making the module continually "smarter" at suggesting products over time. By default, it prioritizes based on count. The more times customers have ordered a product in combination with another product, the higher the priority on the related products list. You can change the priority to price, ascending or descending, so higher or lower priced items are pushed first. The sorting options may be adjusted for each page independently. The real power of the module lies in the ability to apply this logic to an entire basket, determining the most likely products a customer will also purchase. If using Merchant's inventory tracking feature, you can also filter products so that only those with a quantity greater than X are displayed.
Let your customers' purchase patterns create an automated virtual sales rep.
Miva Merchant uses cookies (small files stored on the visitor's computer) for the identification of the visitor and for managing his/her session. When visitor's browser does not accept cookies from your website, the content of the basket may be lost when the customer clicks on the checkout button, opening the session in secure mode (SSL). Such visitors will not be able to complete the payment and will leave the store in most cases without even contacting you.
Browser Cookie Control and P3P
Modern browsers like the MSIE v6, depending on their configuration, automatically turn off cookies on sites that do not declare their privacy policies in so called P3P compact policy in HTTP headers. Declaring the P3P policies in the document or through a XML file is not sufficient, only the coded P3P compact policy is currently being recognized.
To stop loosing customers in Miva Merchant due to the lapse of P3P compact headers, the MmP3P module was developed. After installing the module and registering your license key, you can enter your P3P compact policy into its settings, and MmP3P will take care about serving them properly with every Merchant page.
P3P Privacy Policies
The default compact P3P policy of the MmP3P module matches a typical and generic Miva Merchant store, but the definitive setting must be customized to match your real privacy policies about collecting and handling user data and therefore you should generate the P3P policies with the help of one of available services and then enter the code into the MmP3P settings. Detailed information about P3P Privacy Policies, including FAQ, links to P3P validators, generators and consultancy services may be found at the W3C Consortium. Privacy Council is one of the sites offering free automated generator of Compact P3P policies.
