1 NetPush Advanced Inventory NetPush / MvCool

The NetPush Advanced Inventory Module allows Miva Merchant store owners to track inventory within Miva Merchant all the way down to the attribute/option level. The module has numerous configuration settings that should allow the admin to display and track any simple or complex inventory configuration. Inventory levels are only adjusted at checkout time so there is no need to worry about old baskets causing inventory problems. The module comes with an import and export module that allows administrators to easily update inventory levels by using csv files.

We suggest using template modules like Viking Coder's Product Templates and Category Templates if you want better control of the look and feel of your pages with regards to inventory. This will allow you to use tokens for display. Otherwise, you will have to settle for built in hook point displays that are built into the module and are configurable through the administration area.

The Advanced Inventory Module will send email when stock goes below certain configurable low stock level and can disable products when stock goes below the out of stock level. Administrators can also customize every message shown to the user. Fine grain customizations are made easy because the module allows product level configuration settings the ability to override global inventory configuration settings. This allows Miva Merchant Administrators the ability to customize inventory configurations for every product, if he or she wishes.

Notes:

  • OpenUI Tokens
    This module can be used with OUI OpenTokens. To use the module with Viking Coders template modules, see the OpenToken instructions and examples in the documentation on the NetPush.com site.

  • Product Upsell
    This module does not show stock information on the product upsell screens at this time. Stock is still tracked in the basket and checkout, but no current stock level is shown on the upsell screens during checkout unless you are using alternatives like tokens in templates.

  • Basket Redirect and Error Message
    The user is automatically redirected to the basket screen if he or she adds items to the basket that makes the product go out of stock or if the product is already out of stock. The error message is shown above the basket screen using a hook point in the Open UI. The message is configurable in the admin area.

  • Checkout Screen Error
    If configuration is setup to do so, the module will block a user from checking out if their basket has an item that is out of stock. This message is shown automatically at the top of the screen. The message is configurable in the admin area.

  • Pipes ( | )
    Product codes, attribute codes, and option codes must not contain the pipe character. NetPush Advanced Inventory uses the pipe to delimit for lookups. Pipes in your codes will cause the module not to work correctly.

Requirements:

  • Open UI 4.723+
    This module requires that you have OpenUI installed in your store. The module uses hook points in the OpenUI. You must have OpenUI version 4.723 or higher if you plan to use the OpenToken functionality available in this module. Please see the OpenUIsite for information about latest versions and bug fixes.

  • Miva Empressa 3.96+
    This module requires that you have Miva Empressa 3.96 or higher. The module uses functionality that is only available in newer versions of the Empressa Engine. Miva regularly releases new versions of Miva Empressa and the Virtual Machine to add new functionality and fix bugs. If you are on an older version, consider contacting your hosting company. You can find the Miva Empressa version at the top left hand of your Store Administrator when you first login. It should show your Miva Merchant version and your Miva Empressa version.

  • Miva Merchant 2.x, 3.x, and 4.x
    This module should work with most versions of Miva Merchant. In order to use the deactivate product option, you must be on version 3.0+. All testing and development was done on versions 4.13+.

Global Configuration Screen

All inventory settings will use the global configuration settings found in the Miva Merchant Administration area under Stores > Your Store > System Extension Configuration > NetPush Advanced Inventory. One may override these settings for products (see product level settings below). Each product must also be manually turned on before tracking starts. See product settings below.

Configuration Settings

  • Use NetPush Inventory
    You must set this to "Yes" if you want the module to be turned on. If this is set to "No", the module will not do anything.
  • Amount considered out of stock
    Usually this would be 0, but it can be set to any number, including negative numbers. Once the stock level reaches this number, it will be considered out of stock.
  • Deactivate when product level is out of stock
    In Miva Merchant versions that support it, the module will turn the Active flag for a product to off, if the product reaches the out of stock level. This only works on the product level, not for the attribute/option level.
  • Allow purchase even after out of stock
    Turning this on will allow customers to purchase products even after they go below the out of stock level. This could be a backorder situation.
  • Automatically remove from basket
    When a user adds products to the basket, the products will be removed if it makes the inventory go below the out of stock level and the admin is not allowing purchases when products are out of stock. Please take note that this option could cause problems if other modules are installed that also act on the basket.
  • Send Low Inventory Notices
    Turn this on to receive email warnings when inventory goes below the low inventory level.
  • Amount considered low
    The level that is considered low. Use this setting to trigger emails that will warn you when inventory is hitting a low level.
  • Low Email To Address
    Set this to the email address of the person who should be receiving emails when stock is at a low level.
  • Low Email From Address
    Set this to the email address that should be set as the from address in low stock emails.
  • Low Email Subject
    The subject of the low stock email. This field has token replacement.*
  • Low Email Body
    This is the body of the low stock email. This field has token replacement.*
  • Automatically change stock levels
    Turn this on if you want the system to subtract stock when a user purchases. If this is set to "No", the system will not update stock levels.
  • Show out of stock messages
    Turn this on to show out of stock messages on the product page when stock goes below the out of stock level.
  • Show in stock messages
    Turn this on to show how much stock is left on the product page.

    Out of Stock Messages*

  • Out of Stock - Basket Line Marker
    This helps the user to see which products have gone out of stock when looking at the basket. A red asterisks may be a good indicator for the user.
  • Out of Stock - Basket
    This message is shown to the user above the basket when a product has gone out of stock when adding, updating, or looking at the basket. Products can go out of stock at anytime, even after a user adds it to their basket. This is because stock levels only change after checkout.
  • Out of Stock - Checkout
    This message is similar to the out of stock basket message. It is shown on the payment screen during checkout. This should be considered one final inventory check before allowing the user to purchase.

* Token Replacement
This module has a few built in tokens for messages that allow you to give yourself and the user more detailed information. Some of the tokens below can only be used on certain screens, or in emails.

%%stock%% - Displays the current stock level. (1,2,3)

Product Configuration Screen

All inventory settings will use the global configuration settings found in the Miva Merchant Administration area under Stores > Your Store > System Extension Configuration > NetPush Advanced Inventory. To override these settings at the product level, go to the product in the administration area and click on "NetPush Advanced Inventory". You will see the settings below.

Configuration Settings

  • Use NP Inventory on this Product
    You must set this to "Yes" if you want to track inventory on the product. You must manually set this to "Yes" for every product that you want to track. If this is not set to "Yes", no inventory tracking will take place. By default, no product is tracked.
  • Override Global Settings
    If this is set to "Yes" the configurations settings will be taken from the individual product screen instead of from the Global configuration settings found under under system extension configuration. If set to "No", the module will use the global settings from above when doing inventory for the product. The default is to use the global settings.
  • Amount considered out of stock

Setting Product Inventory Levels

The administrator can set product inventory levels by going to the product page within the Miva Merchant admin area and clicking on NetPush Advanced Inventory. This is the same screen as the product level configuration. Product inventory levels are shown below the configuration area. To add new inventory, use the yellow add button. To edit inventory, click white add button next to the inventory entry.

The module checks inventory by looking at a unique combination of Product Code, Attribute Code, and Option Code. When entering stock levels, you enter the codes separated by a pipe. For example, shirt1|color|red, where shirt1 is the product code, color is the attribute code, and red is the option code. If you do not set an inventory level for an existing product attribute combination, no tracking is done. Setting a stock level of -9999 has the same effect.

Inventory at a product level
You may choose to only track inventory at a product level in combination with or not at an attribute level. To enter a stock level for a product, simply use prodcode||. This tells the system that you are tracking the product code, but not the attributes or options by leaving them blank. Using -9999 for a stock level will temporarily turn inventory tracking off.

Inventory at the attribute level (checkbox, select box, radio buttons)
Checkbox - prodcode|attrcode|(the last field should be left blank, as checkboxes have no options)
Select Box and Radio Buttons - prodcode|attrcode|optcodeAll 3 are required and must be unique, even if you are using attribute templates. If you are using normal templates in combination with attribute templates, make sure you do not give them duplicate code names.


Using Advanced Inventory with Template Modules and OpenTokens

The Advanced Inventory Module can be used with 3rd party template modules like the ones from Viking Coders by using Open UI tokens on product pages to display current inventory levels. Please note that token support has not been completely tested as of yet.

%module|npinventory|stock_level%
Returns the stock level for the product, attribute, option combination. To ensure that this works correctly, you should set g.NPI_Product_Code, g.NPI_Attribute_Code, and g.NPI_Option_Code to the current product code, attribute code, and option code. On a checkbox, make sure to set g.NPI_Option_Code = ''. On a product level, make sure to set the attribute and option variables to ''. After these globals are set, call the token. If the return value is -9999, the item is not being tracked.

%module|npinventory|stock_available%
Same as above but shows the amount available.

%module|npinventory|oos_level%
Same as above but shows the out of stock level.

%module|npinventory|stock_list%
This token will set a global variable that contains an array of structures. You must set g.NPI_Product_Code equal to the current product code before calling the token. This array contains all of the product code, attribute code, and option code combinations for a specific product. It also contains the available stock, out of stock level, and other information shown below. This token makes it easy to create a stock table using OpenUI tokens in Viking Coders templates or in a product header or footer. Code examples are available in the help pages on the NetPush.com site.
Array Structure:
g.NP_Inventory_StockList[i]:attribute_code - Attribute Code
g.NP_Inventory_StockList[i]:option_code - Option Code
g.NP_Inventory_StockList[i]:stock_level - Stock Level
g.NP_Inventory_StockList[i]:oos_level - Out of stock level
g.NP_Inventory_StockList[i]:available - Stock Level minus out of stock level
g.NP_Inventory_StockList[i]:allow_pur - Allow purchases even if out of stock from admin settings
g.NP_Inventory_StockList[i]:low_amount
- Low amount from admin settings
g.NP_Inventory_StockListLen - Variable that tells you how many items are in the array (represented by i above)

Details

The "Hide Prices Pending Customer Approval" module contains a wealth of functionality and customizable options. It's tremendously useful for wholesalers and other store owners that want to limit access to a known, and approved, customer base.

Product Prices Hidden
Product prices can be hidden until a customer's account has been approved by the store's owner. Optionally, prices can be hidden until a customer creates or logs-in to an account (without requiring approval of the account).

Buttons Too
The product prices - and the "Add To Cart" and the "Buy One Now" buttons - can be hidden on the Product List, Categories, Search Results, and Product Display screens. An optional, fully-customizable message can be displayed in place of the hidden prices.

Require Customer Login
Customers can be required to login (or create a new account) before being granted access to the entire store or to the product-related pages (Product Listing, Categories, Search, Product Display & Basket screens).

For instance - The module can be configured to "Hide Prices Pending Approval of Customer Account" and to "Require Login to View Products".

With this configuration:

  • Customers could access the storefront but would be prevented from accessing the Product Listing, Categories, Search, Product Display & Basket screens. They could of course also access the Login & Create New Accounts screens.
  • Once the customer logged in or created a new account, they would then be able to view the Product Listing, Categories, Search & Product Display screens, but the prices would be hidden.
  • Once the account was approved by the store's administrator, the customer would be able to login and view product prices.

Multiple Levels of Price Display & Access Restriction

Display of Prices:

  • Hide Prices Pending Approval of Customer Account
  • Hide Price Unless Customer Has Account
  • Show Prices - (Disables Module)

Access to Store:

  • No Login Required to Access Store
  • Login Required at Storefront
  • Login Required to View Products

Customer Messages
An optional & customizable "Customer Account Pending Approval" message can be displayed just below the Miva Merchant header. An optional & customizable message can also be displayed on the Customer Account & Customer Information screens. This can be used to inform the customer of the store's policy for accessing the product prices.

For example:
"Approval of customer account is required. Please complete the customer account form. You will be notified by email when your account is approved."

Two Modules In One
It's actually two modules - a OpenUI system module and an administrative utility Module. The system module customizes the store's look and feel and limits access to prices. The administrative utility module provides the store owner with the ability of reviewing and approving customer accounts.

It's also a feature-rich, admin-friendly customer management utility.

Choose the way you approve customer accounts - accounts can now be approved using either the standard Customer admin or the administrative utility module.

Quick Approval of Customer Accounts
The Approve Customers administrative utility module also has a "quick approval" feature. A store's administrator can quickly search for a new customer by login, email address, or other keyword - then approve the customer with one click.

Admin-Friendly navigation - Sort Customers by newest, by id, or by login. Search by login, name or other keyword. Easily scroll through customer records, choose how many are displayed per page, go to first or last record, approve, edit or delete records.

Integrated Price & Availability Groups Support
The store administrator can also assign customers to a price and/or availability group at the same time that accounts are being approved.

Template-based Merchant Notification of New Accounts
An optional email notification can be sent to a specified address whenever a new account is created by a customer. The subject, header & message body are fully customizable. The message template has tokens for all customer fields - login, password, shipping info & billing info.

Template-based Customer Notification of Approved Accounts
An optional email notification can be sent to the customer whenever their account is approved. The subject, header & message body are fully customizable. The message template has tokens for all customer fields - login, password, shipping info & billing info.

Display Attribute-Option Prices
Attribute & option prices on the product display screen.

  • Fully customizable attribute-option prompt template gives you complete control over their display
  • Works with all types of attributes, drop-down menus, radio button, checkboxes, text fields & memo fields
  • Modifies both the Product Display & Missing Attributes screens
  • Completely compatible with Miva Merchant price groups

Feature Details.
Provide order status change emails to customers, keep track of order changes with backend administrative notes, and provide customers with an easy login view of their order status and invoice. Easily manage customer communication with this module and the related modules below.

The membership system allows you to automatically include customers into price groups when they log into your store and is based on their prior purchase history. You set up your price groups as you would any price groups and assign the applicable products to those groups. Then you specify a trigger level required for the customer to be a member of each group. You can insert tokens into the applicable screens, e.g. customer edit, welcome back returning and new customers. Then when they log in, the token runs the order history for the status codes you specify (e.g. F for filled), sums the totals, and checks to see if they meet a membership level. If they do, they are inserted into the highest qualified price group.

In addition to enhanced communication with your customers, you may want to manage product levels associated with orders and cancelled orders. Miva Merchant allows you to track stock levels of your products online. As products are placed in the basket, the level is decremented. If the order is not completed, the products are returned to the shelf when you delete expired baskets. If the order is cancelled, the products are not automatically returned to stock in the core Miva Merchant. The customer and product management modules interface with the built in internal inventory management (IM) system to improve the overall IM usability.

In the administrative interface:
  • Shipping tracking numbers, entered through admin, display in the customer account and the status update email (can be linked directly to the shipper tracking page)
  • Change the order status and optionally send the customer an order status email which can vary based on the style of the status email chosen. Email styles are created using templates with tokens for insertion of specific variables. Can update several orders at once with the bulk status update feature.
  • Run an end of day-productivity report for all dates, a range of dates, or a specific date displaying all records or just the records with a specific status. A convenient link to the order edit screen makes viewing an individual order quick and easy.
  • Re-establish inventory levels for a product when an order has been cancelled (auto-restock) or new quantities are put in your inventory.
  • Run a Stock Level Report to determine which items are nearing depletion or all products being managed for inventory. The module admin console includes an easily editable interface to change the inventory levels of all/any products in the report.
  • Export a flat file of product codes, quantity, and product name for easy mass editing/importing or to interface with your office backend systems or for re-import into Merchant itself.
  • Additional order related data can be added in the admin screen; employee code making the status change, date of the change, narrative notes about the order, numeric value (e.g. for adjustments). Multiple admin updates can be made to each order's record by any department within your store (packing, shipping, accounting, returns, etc).


From the customer account record:
  • Customers can view the status of all of their orders, including update information (e.g. tracking numbers) which is entered by the store owner through admin. The order status history display can be modified by the store owner with a template and tokens. You can even include hot links to carriers' tracking systems with the number filled in. You'll need to enter your carrier tracking URLs into the module's admin configuration screen. The number of carrier URLs you include in admin is not limited.
  • Customers can view their previous invoices as long as they are in online batches or still in the unbatched orders.
  • Even after orders and batches are deleted (you may delete processed orders to save disk space) the customer can still review the basic products listed in their order along with the shipping and payment info.
  • Customers can re-order/duplicate a previous order with a single click from the invoice (order details page) which are still in online batches (i.e. not deleted) or as yet unbatched orders.


Be sure to take a look at our other related modules which can enhance store - customer - vendor communication even further. They include:
  • Contact Manager - provide a support interface without needlessly including your email on your store's pages for spam harvesters to capture
  • Event Reminder - customers and store admin can schedule reminders to themselves or others for specific events/tasks at specific times
  • Follow-on Contact - generate after sales communication at pre-determined points of time in the future
  • Mail Manager - generate template emails (with tokens) as HTML or text as an auto-response, e.g. as customer order confirmation or even welcome emails


The module currently fully supports the mivasql configuration of MIVA Merchant 5. It also supports MySQL as long as load balancing has the data stored on the single MySQL server. This would be the case in most of the server setups. For those that are not, we are in the process of converting the code for that remaining, very small group of MIVA Merchant stores. At this time we have not had a problem. Modules will be moved to the top of the queue as needed.

Feature Details.
In admin, you create one or more template emails. Eachtemplate 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 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
  • Email service, warranty, shipping and contact information on specific products or product lines
  • Send an email to your cell phone's inbox 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. Thosestore owners rent the stores from you for a percentage of their gross. Use mail manager as an audit tool to track theirsales. 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 spreadsheetfor easy analysis.
  • The included Mail Manager Report module can display the contents of that flat file through admin. It can filter the report by specific timeperiods (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 canbe 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 everyproduct in your store.

However, Mail Manager has a somewhat open architecture sothat other events can also trigger an automated response. For example:

  • Send a welcome email before the order completes, but afterthe customer completes the registration process (for those thatcreate 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
  • 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.

7 Static Catalog Generator Weiland / Emporium Plus

The StatCat module is both an admin module and a basket interface module. The primary purpose of StatCat is to generate static catalog pages (indexes and sub-pages) directly from your Miva Merchant products and category databases so that search engines will add your pages to their index. Presumably this will allow customers to find your store amongst the millions of web sites on the Internet. As such, the pages generated are basic html pages with links to sub-pages, basket page and individual product pages in your Miva Merchant system. Each page contains your store title, meta description, meta keywords, footers along with the products. Category pages also contain category headers and footers.

Although these are static html pages, they have direct links which allow customers to add the products to their basket which is maintained in your Miva Merchant shopping cart system. If you are using the CIM Inventory Manager or Miva Corp's new Inventory Manager (in Merchant 4.x), it will even check the stock level and return an out of stock message if stock level is depleted

** Caution: If you are using Merchant 4.0 and its Inventory Management system that deducts products from inventory when they are placed in the basket, you should select to NOT use the Add to Basket buttons if you have one-of-a-kind items. The reason for this is that some robots and other indexing software may even follow links which contain the ? and & characters. This could result in the stock level decrementing to zero and out-of-stock emails being sent. The products won't be removed from inventory completely, as they will be re-stocked when you run the Admin:Delete Expired Shopping Baskets. This undesirable situation does not exist in Merchant versions 2.x or 3.x. It is also not a problem in Merchant 4.x if your store does not use the Miva Corp Inventory Management or your product stock levels are not likely to be depleted with one or two passes of the indexing program.

The store owner determines which page the customer will go to when they select to add a product to the basket. They can be taken either to the basket for review or back to the static page they just selected from. Both processes are automatic and do not require Javascript or meta refresh routines. Either click through destination can be used on either of the sort options, store owner choice. In addition to the functionality of this module, it provides an excellent example of how to interface static pages with the Miva Merchant system with return to the correct static page.

Quick links on each sub-page allow the customer to return to the index or go straight to their basket for review and checkout.

Below the sub-pages the store owner can even generate individual product pages. These product pages contain the full sized image and description. If the store uses the Flexible Product Description module and the product record contains a Keyword field, those product specific keywords are added to the store's generic keywords which are already in all of the static pages.

The store owner can decide whether to display the price for each item on the static pages. Since these pages are static and cannot function interactively to determine customer price groups or discounts, the hide price routine has its place. However, if the store has no price groups and discounts are calculated on basket totals or discount coupons, the price listing is useful.

The static pages also have no way to restrict access. So if your store is one which does not allow certain products to be shown to all customers, then this module is not for you, unless you can place all of those restricted products in specific categories. In which case, you could then sort pages by category and simply delete those categories' pages.

This module is for Miva Merchant 2.x, 3.x and 4.x. It works with both the Miva Merchant look and feel (mmui.mv) and the OpenUI look and feel (oui.mv). If using the mmui.mv, there are two edits that need to be made to the mmui.mv file.

StatCat produces pages similar (mirror) to the layout in Miva Merchant with admin control. The following configuration settings are made within the standard Miva Merchant admin interface: Page title, home URL, optional title/store logo, title background color, title foreground color, category title header size, number of product columns on the category sort page, Meta description of the site, Meta keywords on the site, return action after adding a product to the basket, option to hide the prices, category column background color, category column foreground color, category column font, category column size, product background color in the category sorted pages, product foreground color in the category sorted pages, product font and size in the category sorted pages, optional display of thumbnail images in the category sorted pages, store front page welcome screen, search button input, product descriptions on category pages, and page footer.

Once generated, the index pages can be linked to your main home page. The catalog can be left in the directory it is generated in or copied to any web site (or multiple web sites) to increase search engine visibility. The links to images and back to your Merchant.mv store will work across servers. An example of this remote distribution can be seen at my Yahoo/Simplenet web site. The limitation to the remote distribution is that these remote static pages are one way, ie. placing a product in the basket will take the customer to the main Merchant.mv, but not back to the remote static page. They would then continue shopping in Merchant.mv. This limitation exists only if the static pages are not in their original catalog directory. If they are in the catalog directory on the local server with Merchant.mv, then return to the static pages is one of your options in admin.

The StatCat also has the ability to generate static pages which can be placed on a disk and used as a catalog which can be mailed or given out to potential customers. When using this option, links to your web site or the shopping cart are suppressed. An example of this type of catalog can be seen online. It has no links to the cart and the images are virtual to the static html pages.

When generating the catalog, the store owner has the option of restricting the html output to a list of specific categories. This is particularly useful when the store owner wants to place their static pages on remote servers which have specific themes in a mall environment. Some categories may "fit in" and some may not. This also might be useful if you want to create disks with only certain categories of products on them to be given to customers.

Note 1: StatCat uses the first letter of the product name to name the sub-pages. If you use illegal characters for the first letter of product names, you will not be able to generate the by-name catalog. An example would be the left bracket, as some might have put the font tag at the beginning of the product name. If that is the case, use the by-category catalog.

Note 2: If you have an excessively large products database, you will probably not be able to run StatCat on a server without timing out. However, you should be able to run it in MivaMia if you have a mirror of your store on your PC. You would then need to upload the static pages manually. This store of 600 products took about 5 seconds to generate the category pages.

Example static catalog pages

  • Sort by name
    • This example has the add to basket button disabled
    • This example contains StatCat generated individual product pages
  • Sort by category
    • Click through returns to the originating static page after addition (alternatively you can have it remain at the merchant.mv basket)
    • This example contains StatCat generated individual product pages

Several new features have been added to the compiled version; background image, functional navigation bar, "smart" metatags, extensive implementation of keyword and header and footer usage, product page names can be product code or name ending with html, inclusion of product links at the top or bottom listed as featured products or similar designation, include any fields in the products database on product pages (including modified structure), optionally hide subcategories on category pages as applicable, additional product page links such as "check availability or latest prices", and export to any directory within the store's path (creates directory if it does not exist). Discontinued (inactive) products can continue to have modified static pages generated so that search engine links remain viable, yet do not result in errors when linked to the store. Additionally, affiliate codes can be included with every link so that the static catalog pages can be given to affiliates who wish to mirror your catalog at their site. If you are using the OpenUI, StatCat adds "smart" metatags to your merchant.mv so that when the customers (and search engines) click from your static pages to your actual store, the pages will contain metatags related to category headers, product descriptions and product keywords (if used). It also reverses the title tag with the category and product screens so that the category or product name appear first, then the store name. If your store has our Volume Pricing module version (4.53 or higher) installed, StatCat can optionally include the volume price table on the static pages. When creating the static product pages, a flat file is created in the background which can be used for a data feed file for submission to FroogleTM. It contains the header and data for the basic file format.

If the order is not completed, the products are returned to the shelf when you delete expired baskets. If the order is cancelled, the products are not automatically returned to stock in the core Miva Merchant. The customer and product management modules interface with this internal inventory management (IM) system to improve the overall IM usability.

In the administrative interface:

  • Shipping tracking numbers, entered through admin, display in the customer account and the status update email (can be linked directly to the shipper tracking page)
  • Change the order status and optionally send the customer an order status email which can vary based on the style of the status email chosen. Email styles are created using templates with tokens for insertion of specific variables. Can update several orders at once with the bulk status update feature.
  • Run an end of day-productivity report for all dates, a range of dates, or a specific date displaying all records or just the records with a specific status. A convenient link to the order edit screen makes viewing an individual order quick and easy.
  • Re-establish inventory levels for a product when an order has been cancelled (auto-restock) or new quantities are put in your inventory.
  • Run a Stock Level Report to determine which items are nearing depletion or all products being managed for inventory. The module admin console includes an easily editable interface to change the inventory levels of all/any products in the report.
  • Export a flat file of product codes, quantity, and product name for easy mass editing/importing or to interface with your office backend systems or for re-import into Merchant itself.
  • Display the number of status = "pending" orders in the main admin screen, Store Notifications section, so pending orders are immediately visible when you log into admin. A convenient popup shows order numbers and dollar total of each.
  • Additional order related data can be added in the admin screen; employee code making the status change, date of the change, narrative notes about the order, numeric value (e.g. for adjustments). Multiple admin updates can be made to each order's record by any department within your store (packing, shipping, accounting, returns, etc).

From the customer account record:

  • Customers can view the status of all of their orders, including update information (e.g. tracking numbers) which is entered by the store owner through admin. The order status history display can be modified by the store owner with a template and tokens. You can even include hot links to carriers' tracking systems with the number filled in. You'll need to enter your carrier tracking URLs into the module's admin configuration screen. The number of carrier URLs you include in admin is not limited.
  • Customers can view their previous invoices as long as they are in online batches or still in the unbatched orders.
  • Even after orders and batches are deleted (you may delete processed orders to save disk space) the customer can still review the basic products listed in their order along with the shipping and payment info.
  • Customers can re-order/duplicate a previous order with a single click from the invoice (order details page) which are still in online batches (i.e. not deleted) or as yet unbatched orders.

Be sure to take a look at our other related modules which can enhance store - customer - vendor communication even further. They include:

  • Contact Manager - provide a support interface without needlessly including your email on your store's pages for spam harvesters to capture
  • Event Reminder - customers and store admin can schedule reminders to themselves or others for specific events/tasks at specific times
  • Follow-on Contact - generate after sales communication at pre-determined points of time in the future
  • Mail Manager - generate template emails (with tokens) as HTML or text as an auto-response, e.g. as customer order confirmation or even welcome emails

OpenUI required. This module can use OpenTokens instead of hook points within OpenObjects. The OpenDesigner screen lists the OpenObjects which can replace all or some screens within the OpenUI user interface. The OpenObjects provide a template screen which contains the existing hook points (backward compatibility), OpenToken capability, and the ability to move output around within the OpenObject screen.

9 OpenUI Look and Feel Advanced OpenUI Developer Consortium / Miva Central

If you don't know which OpenUI product you need, then THIS IS THE ONE!

The OpenUI Advanced (formerly OpenUI Standard) is ULTIMATE enhancement for your Miva Merchant store! Too many features to even begin to list, and all for a VERY LOW PRICE!! It gives you all of the features you are already used to from OpenUI Look & Feel Basic, and the following addons are include:

The OpenUI Look & Feel module replaces your MMUI module and provides central 'hooks' through which module developers may easily add features and performance enhancing solutions without having to reinvent the wheel with each Merchant release.

UDPATED VERSION - NEW AND IMPROVED!

We went all out with this latest release of the OpenUI. We have included the following enhancements:

  • OpenBatches™ - This simplifies order processing in Miva Merchant like never before. You no longer have to go back and forth between the left-hand tree and right-hand main window. From the right hand main window, searchable lists allow you to search, view, edit, or delete batches. This screen also allows you to view orders within a particular batch via OpenOrders™, shows if you have new orders, and even enables you to create a new batch. This all happens from ONE interface.

    See Interface Screen Shot

  • OpenOrders™ - Using the main window, you now have a searchable order list that allows you to filter by all orders, only unbatched orders, or by orders within an individual batch. You can further filter by order number, product code, order total range, and by date and time range. From this screen, you can also edit and delete individual orders. Once again, this all happens in ONE interface.

    See Interface Screen Shot

    An optional statistics interface that works with both the OpenBatches™ and OpenOrders™can be unlocked with the purchase of an OpenUI Pro license key. Find out your top sellers, revenue generators, sales by the hour and day, and much MORE! Read More Detailed Information!

    This additional license key is solely for statistics features and will have NO impact on existing or future OpenUI installations. All stores will continue to function with the same capabilities as before and include the great features listed below.

  • Shorter URLS for Google - It was recently announced in a newsletter geared toward search engines and Miva Merchant that category and product pages without the store code in the url were being readily indexed by the top search engine in the world, Google. If you only have one store, the OpenUI will automatically remove the store code from all urls in the category tree, product list, search results, and basket contents screen. If you have two stores, your store code will remain in the url.

    Example:Instead of merchant.mv?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=CODE&Category_Code=CATEGORY, it will be: merchant.mv?Screen=CTGY&Category_Code=CATEGORY This applies to compiled stores with the mvc extension as well.

    Feature added based on recommendations from JMH Web Services (jmhonline.net). *This information has been updated to reflect new findings from JMH. Google now does not have a problem with the store code.

  • Category and Product Names First in Title Tags- Miva Merchant and previously the OpenUI put your store name before the category and product names in their respective screens title tag (i.e. Store Name: Category or Product Name). Depending on the length of your store name, your category and product titles may not be appearing in your search engine listings title phrase! With the new and improved OpenUI, your category and product titles will be first in the title tag, resulting in better listings within search engines (i.e.Category or Product Title: Store Name).

    Feature added based on recommendations from JMH Web Services (jmhonline.net).

  • A New (Optional) Interface for the Miva Merchant Navigation Bar (navbar)- You now have better (and more) control over which navigation buttons are displayed, as well as many other features including:
    • Ability to specify cellpadding and cellspacing of navbar.
    • Optional navbar background image.
    • Options to align navbar (i.e. Full, Center, Left, Right).
    • Ability to change navbar buttons including the logo to space, text, etc.
    • Token replacement in the Cell "links" can be done using the %VAR(varname )% convention. For example, to include the g.sessionurl, just use "%VAR(g.sessionurl)%". To include the store id, use "%VAR(Stores.d.id)%". Most available variables can be used, but they will all be filtered through the encodeentities() function before they are substituted.

    Feature added based on recommendations from Rich Chatfield (customMvDesign.com).

See Interface Screen Shot 1- Interface Screen Shot 2

  • Support for New Attribute Types Built-In- New Attribute Types were previously only supported in the uncompiled versions of Miva Merchant, but will now be in both the compiled and uncompiled versions, and will not require the Admin Extension installation.

  • Support for module Order Tabs Built-In- module Order Tabs were previously only supported in the uncompiled versions of Miva Merchant, but will now be in both the compiled and uncompiled versions, and will not require the Admin Extension installation.

  • Body and Head Tag Options - You don't need additional modules anymore for these two fields if you use the latest version of the OpenUI! Include javascript, cascading style sheets, meta tags, margin height and width, preload images, and much more. For example:

    <head>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="/Merchant2/cssjs/mivamerchant.css" type="text/css" />
    <script language="JavaScript" src="/Merchant2/cssjs/nsresizefix.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <meta name="distribution" content="global" />

    <body bgcolor="#ffffff" onload="preloadImages('/Merchant2/graphics/2.gif');" leftmargin="2" topmargin="0">
    </head>

    See Screen Shot.


  • <Select One> Option for Drop-Down Lists - You can now include Select One as the default prompt for attributes, shipping options, and payment option drop-down lists. The default prompt is also customizable for each one. (i.e i.e <Choose Color>, <Select A Shipping Method>, <Select Payment Method>)

See Interface Screen Shot


The OpenUI Look & Feel Pro License Key unlocks a special feature of the latest OpenUI module. Once you unlock this feature with your license, you will be able to see the total stats for the orders in one batch, all unbatched orders, or all orders regardless of classification. The stats page gives a total sales summary, and then breaks the total sales down by day-of-the-week and time of day (by the hour) the orders were made. The stats page also lists the top selling products and top revenue generators for the specified parameters. The stats are based on the filtering options you currently have set, allowing you to specify exactly what information you would like to generate. For example, if you are in the customer screen on the OpenOrders™ tab and click on the stats button, you will see the stats of that customer's order only. If you have filtered the orders based on the order total and the date range, then the stats will be based on this filter. The stats button gives you immense flexibility because it allows you to view stats using a single filter or any combination of filters. For example, you can see the top 20 products from those that purchased SOMEPRODUCT, or those that have spent over a designated amount....or use both filters. All these resources are available simply by clicking the stats button, which appears on both the OpenOrders™and OpenBatches™ screens.

This additional license key is solely for the new stats features and will have NO impact on existing or future Open UI installation. All stores will continue to function with the same capabilities as before. You can purchase a key by clicking here.

Sales Summary - Sales/Day of the Week - Sales/Hour of the Day - Top Sellers - Top Revenue Generators

12 Hide Prices Pending Customer Approval LATU /

Miva Merchant 4.14 version now available.

New Features:

The Merchant 4.14 version includes:

Improved navigation in the "Approve Customers" administrative utility module - including a quick link to the most recent customer record.

Choose the way you approve customer accounts - accounts can now be approved using either the standard Customer admin or the "Approve Customers" administrative utility module.

New options for the Merchant Notification and Customer Notification email messages û the inclusion of the Customer billing and shipping fields is now optional.

Details:

The "Hide Prices Pending Customer Approval" module contains a wealth of functionality and customizable options. It's tremendously useful for wholesalers and other store owners that want to limit access to a known, and approved, customer base.

Product Prices Hidden
Product prices can be hidden until a customer's account has been approved by the store's owner. Optionally, prices can be hidden until a customer creates or logs-in to an account (without requiring approval of the account).

Buttons Too
The product prices û and the "Add To Cart" and the "Buy One Now" buttons û can be hidden on the Product List, Categories, Search Results, and Product Display screens. An optional, fully-customizable message can be displayed in place of the hidden prices.

Two Modules In One
The module is actually two modules û a OpenUI system module and an administrative utility Module. The system module customizes the store's look and feel and limits access to prices. The administrative utility module provides the store owner with the ability of reviewing and approving customer accounts. It's also a fully-functional and user friendly customer management utility.

Quick Approval of Customer Accounts
The administrative utility module also has a "quick approval" feature. A store's administrator can quickly search for a new customer by login, email address, or other keyword û then approve the customer with one click.

Merchant Notification of New Accounts
An optional email notification can be sent to a specified address whenever a new account is created by a customer. The subject and header of the email message are customizable.

Customer Notification of Approved Accounts
An optional email notification can be sent to the customer whenever their account is approved. The subject and header of the email message are customizable.

Multiple Levels of Access Restriction
The store's owner can select from three different modes.

  • Hide Prices Pending Approval of Customer account
  • Hide Price Unless Customer Has Account
  • Show Prices - (Disables Module)

Customer Messages
An optional & customizable Customer Account Pending Approval" message can be displayed just below the Miva Merchant header. An optional & customizable message can also be displayed on the Customer Account & Customer Information screens. This can be used to inform the customer of the store's policy for accessing the product prices.

For example:
"Approval of customer account is required. Please complete the customer account form. You will be notified by email when your account is approved."

Many More Customizable Options

  • Mode
  • Customer Message
    (displayed on Customer Account & Customer Information screens)
  • Price Message
    (displayed in place of price)
  • Account Pending Message
    (message displayed if customer's account is pending approval)

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:

  • Show or hide any of the data elements
  • Orient your email either horizontally or vertically
  • 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
  • List products and prices or just the products without prices
  • 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.

Feature Details.
The purpose of Rate This module is to allow customers (who have signed in) to provide their rating/review of products offered in the store.The module allows a customer one review on each productthey choose to rate/review. They can go back and change their rating and review as it is controlled by their login and password. The average customer rating is displayed graphically with whole or half images. This graphical display can be on the product screen, the category listscreen or both. The default images are hearts, but the mall owner can substitute any graphics he/she wants. Customers can also leave narrative comments about products they wish to review.

All customers, not just those logged in, are able to view the ratings and reviews made by other customers.

In the event that a malicious customer enters prank ratings, the admin interface allows removal of all ratings by specific customers. Since the module has an email alert feature (if turned onby the store owner), you will know what ratings are being left for your products. There is also a report generator to list all ratings on a specific product code or all ratings by a specific customer.

You can also display and/or delete the ratings of a specific product from the individual product edit screen.

Using a render token, place the Rate This button on the product page so that it better fits your desired look. You canlimit the number of reviews which appear on the product page with a "more"link to show all. You can sort the order of the reviews within the product edit screen so that customers see the reviews in the order you want them seen. You can also require admin approval before the rating/review is displayed to customers visiting your store. Admin reports can be displayed to screen, exported to flat file, and optionally email the flat file to the store. The admin rating reports which display the login have a hot link to the customer login so you can quickly view who the rater is.

Configure through admin, the text and tokens in both the display and prompt for this module as they are customizable templates which can replace the default layouts. You can allow the customer to include their email, name, or location (automatically filled in from their customer account) along with the reviews, depending on the demographicyou choose to allow in the store. As example, a typical rating might be
Reviewer: John in Anglikon, Switzerland 05/14/2001
Great tool and simple to install

The module currently fully supports the mivasql configuration of MIVA Merchant 5. It also supports MySQL as long as load balancing has the data stored on the single MySQL server. This would be the case in most of the server setups. For those that are not, we are in the process of converting the code for that remaining, very small group of MIVA Merchant stores. At this time we have not had a problem. Modules will be moved to the top of the queue as needed.

16 Power Search v5 Emporium Plus / Miva Central

The purpose of Power Search is to allow a customer to search one or more fields which are allowed by the store owner. The store owner can choose any fields within the products database and/or the custom product fields (Miva Corp built-in utility module) database to be searchable. This module is for MIVA Merchant 5.x. We also have the corresponding module for an older version of Merchant.

Features:
- Implements field specific, keyword searching
- Uses store morph technology to build templates with version history
- Customer selects the fields to search and the sort order they want the results displayed
- Search the whole store or limit to one category
- Search by all (AND), any (OR), exact phrase, or begins with
- Display total found, number of pages, and links to each page when the results exceed one page
- Use the same product list layout as original search or alter for your needs
- Can limit search to a specific price range
- Use in conjunction with the Emporium Plus Tell A Friend module to send searches to a friend
- Product page "return to search" link takes customers back to the same search page
- View admin log of searched words/phrases for marketing and keyword identification
- Maintain compatibility with 3rd party modules which use the MIVA Corp custom product fields
- Create pre-defined select list searches on a single field
- License per domain/mall

Feature Details.
Easily editable templates. The module has five templates which can be used for each section of the search page. The templates have full versionhistory and use standard Merchant 5 template coding for easy update and rollback of changes. Each template is pulled into the location you want it on the search page using a render token. The templates are field selection, category selection,search scope/type, page counter and links, and product list layout.

Search specific fields and sort results. Allow a customer to search one or more fields which are made selectable by the store owner. The store owner can choose, in the admin screen, any fields within the products database or the MIVA Merchant built in custom product fields database to be available. The Power Search module uses a mirror database of your products, custom fields and categories; much like the big search engines use. By creating a mirror before the search is made, many operations to join multiple databases togethercan be avoided, so the customer gets a much faster search. Customers can also sort the results on fields like name, code, price, cost, when they were added to the store, or the default display order the store owner established for productlists. The build of the mirror database goes quite quickly and is a maintenance procedure you will do periodically. The small amount of time you take to build the mirror will save your customers significant amounts of time in their searches vs searches which don't use an optimized mirror database. Buildingthe mirror is not required just because products are added, deleted, or edited; as those processes update the mirror automatically without needing a rebuild. See the install doc for details.

Category selectable. Customers can use the category selector to select just one category to search. The default is to search the whole store. You can use the built in token which lists all categories with one or more products in them oryou can build your own select list of only certain categories.

Multiple search types. The customer can select how they want to search the database. The default is to search for products where all (boolean AND) of the keywords entered are found in the record. The customer can broaden that search so that any (boolean OR) of the words are found in the record. They can search by exact phrase so that the words must appear in thesame order in the record as was entered in the search input. They can also search the fields where the data in the field begins with the search string. This is useful for things like finding all of the products whose NAME begins with a specific letter and allows you to have a list of A-Z links that implement that specific search.

Advanced pagination. The module can display the total number of products found which match the search condition. Additionally, the pagesare numbered, e.g. Page 3 of 20, when results exceed the configurable number of products per page. You can also display alist of page numbers and links to those pages so the customer can jump to the page they want to look at. This pagination is similar to that used in the Emporium Plus Category Manager module.

Product layout template can be customized. In the 'srch' page template, there is a "search results layout". If you are happy with that layout, you can copy and paste the contents of that template into the Power Search module's product layout template. You can then modify the layout in the Power Search admin screen.

Price range searching. While searching the price field might be useful in some cases, a more popular search is price range. Within the searchable fields section, the customer has the option of entering a low and high price to create a range. If left blank, the search will not be filtered by price range.

Tell a friend module interface. If the store is using the Emporium Plus Tell A Friend module, customers can send the search string from Power Search to friends. The link in the email will go to the same page of products that the customer was on when they clicked the Tell A Friend button.

Return to search page link. After going to the product page from a Power Search rendered search, a convenient "return to search" link on the product page can bring the customer back to the original search page.

Search log with admin report. In admin, you can view the log of search words/phrases which your customers have used. This helps you from a marketing standpoint to determine the most sought after products and possibly the need to carry a new product. Additionally, it helps you identify keywords which might be useful to include in the narrative descriptions or the meta tags for search engine submissions and even local searches in your store. As example, while you might have a product called flip flops, customers might be searching for thong sandals (which is the same thing). But if you had not used those words in your description, you may have lost the sale. The log can be purged in the admin screen to reduce its size as desired.

Optimized search of built-in custom product fields. This module does not require that you use a proprietary 3rd party module for the custom product fields. It uses the built-in custom product fields module from MIVA Corp, thereby ensuring compatibility with other 3rd party modules which use those same custom product fields. No need to go down that proprietary datafield path of no return. As example, the Emporium Plus Template Data Feed module can use the built-in custom product fields to populate feeds to just about any search engine and shopping index with those "special" fields those indexes require.

Live examples. We cannot link to our demo Merchant 5 store from MivaCentral so if you'd like to see a couple of the live pages demonstrating searches, please contact us for the link. You can check out the selected field search in our test store which has about 600 products with multiple custom product fields. Try some searches so you can get an idea of search speed.

Pre-defined selectors. The Power Search function can also be used for pre-defined select pulldowns in your store. An example of genre and decade searches are in the lower left column of our test store's storefront screen. It will search a specific field, with store owner pre-defined selections. This same technique can be used for things like manufacturer searches if you have a manufacturer field in your custom product fields.

Liberal licensing. License is for ONE domain/mall. Within that single mall, it can be used in multiple stores without additional licenses.

This module requires that you are using MIVA Engine v5.03 or newer. When you log into admin, you can see which version of the engine is in use in your store.

17 Extra Customer Fields netBlazon / Miva Central

The Extra Customer Fields module allows you to specify additional customer information fields within your store, and also provides template-based layout control over the customer account screen and the customer information within all checkout screens. The extra customer fields can be displayed on all account and checkout screens, including the following:

  • ACNT - Add / Edit Customer Account Screen,
  • OINF - Checkout: Customer Information Screen,
  • OSEL - Checkout: Shipping / Payment Selection Screen,
  • OPAY - Checkout: Payment Screen, and
  • INVC - Invoice Screen

The Extra Customer Fields module supports all standard Miva Merchant fields, and also allows a variety of input types for extra fields, including text field, text area, checkbox, radio button, single select list, multi-select list, country dropdown, and state dropdown - all configurable from within the module's easy to use administration interface.

Features

Global Settings

Global Settings allows you to optionally set indicators to distinguish fields as required, optional, or both. Indicators can be shown before or after the field prompt. CSS styles are also applied to field prompts and input elements to indicate fields as required, optional, and/or invalid (when data is missing or incorrectly formatted).

Module administration screen in Miva Merchant administration utility, showing the Global Settings subtab
 

Standard Fields

Extra Customer Fields allows you to control even the standard customer fields. This administration section allows you to change the prompt for a field and to set optional field attributes, such as CSS selectors, size, and even JavaScript event handling code.

Prompts can be dynamically controlled using OpenTokens - the prompt fields fully support all OpenToken functionality.

Module administration screen in Miva Merchant administration utility, showing the Standard Fields subtab
 

Templates

The layout of the account screen and the customer portions of the checkout screens can be customized using templates and tokens. Each screen has its own template, and fields and their associated prompts are displayed via tokens. For example, %nbecf_fname_s% is replaced with the input box for the Ship-to First Name.

There is also a template for the admin screen. Administrators can view and edit the data entered by customers within the Miva Merchant administration utility. The admin template determines the layout of this administration screen.

Module administration screen in Miva Merchant administration utility, showing the Templates subtab
 

Extra Customer Fields

Extra fields can be defined to collect additional information from your customers, either during checkout, account creation, or both. Each extra field is assigned a name, a prompt, an interface type, and optionally a default value and attributes. The name is hidden from customers, but is used as the token to represent this field within the templates. The prompt is the text label shown to customers. Several interface types are available, including text field, text area, dropdown menu, checkbox, radio button, single select, multi select, and even states and countries dropdowns with data pulled from the corresponding store databases. If a field is given a default value, that default value will be present when an empty form is loaded. Attributes are used to specify CSS selectors, sizes, and JavaScript event handlers. Finally, each field can be designated as required or optional.

Dropdowns, radio buttons, and single and multi select fields also have options. These options are defined on a separate screen for each field, and can be reordered as needed.

18 Wish List Manager Viking Coders / Miva Central

This module provides your customers with the opportunity to add products to a Wish List. This permits them to later return to your store to view, add, and edit the list. They can send email to their friends prompting them to visit your store and view their wish list. Other customers can search the wish lists for the lists of their friends, hopefully with the intent of buying something for them, and send email to others to recommend that they visit your store and start a list.

The admin interface provides the merchant with the ability to view the current customers with wish lists (searchable by wish list contents and customer data) and to view the contents of each list. The entire wish list can be deleted from within admin as can individual products in the list.

If a product being added to a wish list has attributes, the customer will be prompted to select the attributes (but not required to) before the product is added to the list. If the customer is not logged in when they attempt to add the product to their list, they will first be prompted to log in and will have the opportunity to create a new account.

The module adds new Merchant pages on which the customer can view their your own wish list and search for the wish lists of others. Links to both of these pages can be provided in up to 13 different positions in the navbar and in the category tree. The link by which the customer adds the product to their wish list can appear on up to 11 different positions on the product display page. The link text and/or image used for each of these links is separately configurable.

When a customer searches for wish lists, the wish list "owner's" first name, last name, email address, login, city, state, and zip code are all searched.

The merchant has the option of making the wish list "opt-in only" by providing the customer with a checkbox on the customer account page to enable a wish list (the text of the prompt is configurable). If a customer chooses not to opt-in to the wish list, they will be able to add/edit/view their own list but it will not appear in searches by other customers. They can still email their friends and provide them with a link to their wish list.

An expiration period can be set for the wish lists. If no activity takes place in a configurable time period (ie. no products are added) the lists can be purged from within admin.

The format of all of the pages is completely configurable with tokens. The customer can be permitted to edit the quantity of the items in their wish list, add a note, and delete individual items. The format of the page on which the customer views their own wish list and on which they view the wish list of others are separately configured to provide the customer with the additional ability to edit their list.

From the page on which the customer view their own wish list, they can send an email to their friends to let them know about their list. From the page on which the customer searches for the wish list of others, they can send an email to invite their friends to start a list. The content of both of these emails is completely configurable from within admin and use tokens to represent store and customer data.

The header, footer, background image, title, and background color of each new page added by the module are separately configurable from the module's administration interface.
