Found 42 Modules or Applications that might fit the bill
Use caution when considering any modules from modStop. Their support has been reported by umpteen Miva Merchant users as suspect and worse. Some of their modules are simple and shouldn't require support. Please contact us with any questions concerning them or their modules.
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.

Other 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) %%basket_quantity%% - Displays the amount in the basket and is unlikely to be used. (1,2) %%available%% - Displays the amount of stock left before hitting the out of stock level. (1,2,3) %%oos_level%% - Displays the out of stock level.

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.

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)

Minimum/Maximum Quantity Manager allows you to set minimum and/or maximum quantities products must be ordered in. Quantity restrictions may be set individually for each product, and/or globally. Global restrictions may be applied to all products, a specific list of products, or products matching a price criteria. For example, you can configure a 2 piece minimum for all products $5 or less. If using a list of products support for * wild cards is included (to include all products starting with specific characters). If both global and product specific restrictions apply to a product, the product restrictions will have priority. For example, you could set a global 2 piece minimum on all products, but have a specific product flagged as 3 piece minimum. Minimum/maximum restrictions apply to all customer by default, but can also be limited to customers assigned to a particular price group.
The basket contents can either be automatically checked and auto-adjusted every time the basket changes, or only checked when the customer attempts to checkout. If auto-adjusting is enabled and a minimum/maximum restriction is not met, a configurable, tokenized message is displayed and the quantity is automatically changed. A message might say, for example, "Quantity for widget adjusted to 4 to meet maximum requirement of 10" (if, say, a customer already had 6 widgets in her basket and tried to add another 5). If auto-adjusting is not enabled, the basket is only checked during checkout. If any restrictions aren't met the customer is redirected to the basket contents page, and a configurable error displays prompting the customer to adjust the basket. The location of the error message is configurable, and can be set to Above Global Header, Below Global Header, Page Top (top of main right cell), or JavaScript Alert.
If products flagged with minimum/maximum quantity restrictions contain attributes, the module also provides a choice between counting each attribute combination as a separate product, or counting them cumulatively. Say a t-shirt is sold in 3 colors, has a minimum quantity of 10, and the customer adds 3 red, 3 blue, and 4 green shirts. If counting attribute combinations cumulatively, the minimum is considered met. If counting individually, the customer must order 10 for each color ordered.
The Product Dropdown Menu places a javascript-based dropdown menu of your products on your site. The menu can be placed in one of eight locations within your storefront. Available locations include:
Above the Global Header
Below the Global Header
Category Tree, Above Categories
Category Tree, Below Categories
Above the Global Footer
Below the Global Footer
Above the Storefront Welcome
Below the Storefront Welcome
Visitors can select a product from the dropdown menu and automatically be taken to that product. The product list is pulled from the database, and if you use availability groups, the list is based on the customer's available products.
Manage your entire site's content directly within Miva Merchant! With netBlazon's Extra Screens module you can create and administer your static content within the Merchant tool for easier integration and maintenance. Each static screen page can be integrated with your Miva Merchant navigation bar, category tree, and global header and footer--effectively providing a one-stop content management mechanism within the Miva Merchant tool.
Extra Screens allows you to define as many new website pages as you need. Each Extra Screen can show or hide the following elements:
Navigation Bar
Category Tree
Global Header
Global Footer
Right-Hand Column
Screens can also be deactivated--a useful tool for time-sensitive data, or when the content of a page isn't quite ready for public consumption. Each screen also has an Internal Description field, for stores with multiple administrators, or simply to keep notes to yourself for each screen. Internal Description fields are visible only to the administrator.
Version 2.0 now includes support for OpenUI tokens, as well as the ability to selectively display or hide the right column on individual new screens.
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:
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).
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.
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.
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.
Manage coupon addition and redemption functions within a Miva Merchant 5.x storefront with this plugin module. License is for ONE mall. Within that single mall, it can be used in multiple stores without additional license. This module is for MIVA Merchant 5.x. We also have the corresponding module for an older version of Merchant.
Features:- Configurable prompt - Configurable action - Configurable redemption - Configurable coupon rejection messages - Uses tokens to place input on pages - Searchable coupon database with pagination - Easy view admin for coupon content and historical usage - Coupon codes can be individually assigned - Import coupon codes from flat file in bulk - Autogenerate unique coupon codes with token - Assign coupon code as a series for affiliate purposes - Global scope or for specific products - Checkout coupons one per order - Instant coupons on product pages, multiple per order - Fixed amount or percentage of eligible products discounting - Specific product eligibility can be scoped to the attribute level - Minimum order level for redemption of checkout coupons - Establish expiration dates - Line item display in basket after redemption - Single use coupons - One per customer coupons - Multiuse coupons (can be limited) - Free shipping coupons - Limit the country, state or zip a coupon can be used for - Combination of free shipping and order discount (% or fixed) coupon - Easy deletion of expired coupons - Coupon report identifies coupon usage
Feature Details. You can add coupons through the standard Miva Merchant admin interface and include usage criteria.
An unlimited number of coupons can be assigned to the store and eachidentified with a coupon code. Once you have added the module to the store, you can add coupons in the Order Fulfillment section of the admininterface. When you select the Add icon, you will have several input fields to fill in. You must enter a unique code for your coupon. Thisis the code that you will give to customers so they can shop and redeemthe coupon. It can be any combination of letters and/or numbers.
You canembed a token in your welcome email or notification emails generated with our Mail Manager (Emporium Plus - Weiland) module. A unique coupon code will be created and is based on the coupon template you designate. You can have an unlimited number of templates and an unlimited number of coupons copied from them. If you are not using our Mail Manager, you can still activate the generator by placing the token in the invoice header. If you are using our Tell A Friend (Emporium Plus - Weiland) module, you can embed the unique coupon code in the emails that customers send when referring their friends to your store. The coupon generation is also useful when it is embedded into the follow on contact emails that our Follow On Contact (Emporium Plus - Weiland) module sends out.
If you have a lot of coupons you want to load into the system quickly,there is a coupon import from flat file module
An optional expiration date can be included which will prevent its useif the date has passed. Enter it in the year, month, day format, eg. 20000724 would be July 24, 2000. If you leave this field blank the coupon will never expire. However, you can still delete it manually through the admin interface.
A fixed value OR percentage discount off the order total is assigned to each coupon. The default is fixed value/price, e.g. $5.00 off the order total. If you put the % sign in the next input field AFTER the value field, it will calculate the coupon value based on the assigned percent of the order total. The %, if used, is entered in the separate field to the right for that purpose. If left blank, the calculation will be based on the fixed value of the coupon. See the note below about restricting discount calculations to specific products instead of the order total. A maximum redemptionvalue can be assigned to each coupon.
Free shipping coupon option. If you enter the letter S in the field to the right of the value field, the coupon will be used to allow free shipping for the entire order. Other criteria for the coupon must be met, e.g. minimum order amount, eligible products, etc.
Optionally, a coupon can be allowed only when an order total reaches a specific amount. For example, you can give a 10% discount when the order total reaches $200 as an incentive or promo. In all cases where a raw value is used, you must make this value equal to or greater than the value of the coupon. If you usethe percent calculation, this value can be any value, including zero.
Based on your state's tax requirements, the coupon can be designated toreduce the sales tax or not reduce it. The coupon's tax effect is onthe order total, not on individual products. For example, in some states, a store coupon reduces the cumulative value of products purchased before the sales tax is applied, hence you would want it to reduce tax. The exception to doingthis is if your products are likely to be non-taxable, making a coupon reduce tax could result in a negative tax calculation. Another type coupon might be the manufacturer coupon. In some states, manufacturer coupons do not decrease the tax liability. You should determine your state's tax requirements before adding coupons to your store.
Coupons can either be used:
multiple times - The coupon can be used at every visit by any customer who shops at your store. This is usually used as a promo to customers,user lists, clubs, etc. They often have a short expiration date to limittheir use. A typical usage might be a special holiday sale, eg 10% offeverything in the store if used by a specified date. This would eliminatethe need for special price groups if the intent is that everybody who hasthe coupon code can use it. In the compiled version you can limit the number of times a multiple coupon is redeemed.
only one time for each customer - The coupon can only be used for one visit per customer. When the same customer shops at your store a secondtime, if he/she uses the same coupon code, it will be rejected. This isprobably the most common coupon and is usually used in print ads or as a promo, eg. "$5.00 off on your next visit".
only one time for a unique coupon code - The coupon can only be used once. Once any customer has used this code, it becomes unavailable for any other purchase. This is often used as a customer relations tool, e.g. "sorry for the inconvenience, please accept this coupon.....".
Global or product related. You can restrict usage of a coupon in your store so that it can be used only if a specific product is ordered. You can list several product codes,any of which in the basket would make the coupon valid if the other requirements are met. Leaving the product code blank means that customers do not have to order a specific product as long as they meet the other requirements the store owner has specified. If you check the box to the left of the product code list, and are using the percentage discount, only those products in the code list will be used in the calculation using the qualifying products subtotal. If you do not check the box, the percentage discount will be applied against the order total. Youcan use a wildcard for the product list, e.g. 1AA* would make all productsbeginning with 1AA eligible for the coupon discount.
Use instant coupons on the individual product pages and for specific products. These coupons are redeemed at the product page and instantly appear in the basket as a line item discount related to a specific product. Unlike the global checkout coupons, customers can redeem multiple instant coupons in a single order. From a marketing standpoint this gives the merchant the opportunity to offer a promo code atthe product level which gives an impending event (expiration of the promo)to encourage sales while not lowering the value of the product with an overtprice discount.
You can restrict the coupon usage down to the attribute level. For example, you can limit the coupon to product codes beginning with 1AA and the attribute "Version" with the specific option value of "4.5". The format for the input would be 1AA*~Version~4.5|
If you precede the product list with a - (minus) character,the coupon will be excluded from use with those products.
You can limit the coupon to be used only if the customer is in a specific zone. You can use ONE of six possible zone limitations for each coupon (ship to: country, state or zip; bill to: country, state or zip).
Appropriate error messages are displayed when coupons don't meet theusage criteria established by the store owner. When the shopper entersa coupon code that is not valid based on the criteria you establish, he/she will see an error message just below the coupon codeinput when the page is re-displayed.
In admin, the coupons can be easily displayed and edited. The couponsare displayed in a table format with configurable number of coupons per page displayed. The entire coupon database is searchable by coupon code or beginning portion of the coupon code.
Expired coupons can be removed from the database (to cut down on disk usage) one at a time or in mass. In admin, you can either put a checkin the remove column and select update or select purge expired coupons, then select update.
A historical database, which can be imported and analyzed in database orspreadsheet software, is maintained on all coupons used. The couponuz.dbfcan be FTPd to your PC for further analysis in MS Access, MS Excel, or other data management software. This could be useful in determining which coupons bring you the most activity. The number of uses for each coupon is also displayed in the admin table.
The coupon usage report module can provide historical data within your admin. You can summarize or list each coupon used for a specific time period. You can also restrict the output to a specific coupon code or a string of characters in a coupon code. This latter is useful when you have assigneda series of coupons to an affiliate or advertising campaign. You can determine how much business was brought in with the coupons from various sources.
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.
Easily place dynamic navbar links in the shopping basket page, global header/footer for custom static navigation bars, and category tree of your storefront. Place special tokens for your links inside your Basket Contents Header/Footer, Global Header/Footer, and Category Tree Header/Footer to convert your static navbar links to dynamic links. Dynamic link tokens inlcude: Select Store, Storefront, Account, Search, Product List, Basket, and Checkout.
Enable your static nav bar to behave dynamically like the built-in Miva Merchant nav bar including the logged in/out functionality of the account and checkout links. Perfect for storefronts with custom made static nav bars placed in the global header/footer to be enhanced with the dynamic capabilities as with the Miva Merchant nav bar! Screenshot displays the simple-to-use instructions.
Now you can have greater control of Merchant functionality by seamlessly integrating external files and scripts into any of MIVA Merchant pages. This module provides store administrators and developers an ability to insert and manage content and/or execute scripts outside the Merchant system. You can even insert content from another server or domain connected to the internet. The module provides a way to insert/execute files in various ways; by inserting a content file(HTML or TEXT)) located in a script or data directories, executing a compiled MIVA Script(.mvc) file directly or with a required function, and calling a file or script loacated on the same server or another server. If you are familiar with MIVA Scripting language, this module gives you an ability to access and control Merchant arrays, global and local variables, data files, etc., without creating a custom component module. Just plug-in your Item Call to a file into any Merchant Template and customize the execution inside your file.
The ADS External File Pro Module Features:
Module automatically creates and configures the necessary item, when installed.
Smart Item monitoringp rovides quick access to Pages where the Item is used.
You can insert an appropriate Render Token in any page related template(s) to utilize module features.
Render Tokens can be used in Page Templates, Product List Layouts, Messages, Headers, Footers, etc..
Module includes five Render Tokens in order to provide various methods for inserting and/or executing external files and scripts. Depending on the type of a Token used, additional Parameter Information may also be included.
readscript - Token provides a way to read and render an external file located in the script directory, on the same server as Merchant installation. The inserted file may contain HTML or TEXT content, but does not have to use a specific file extension.
readdata - Token provides a way to read and render an external file located in the data directory, on the same server as Merchant installation. Since an external file is located in the Data directory, it would normally not be accessible by the public. You can use this functionality to display content not directly available. You can also use this feature with Merchant Availability Groups to insert specific content only available to that Availability Group members. The inserted file may contain HTML or TEXT content, but does not have to use a specific file extension.
run - Token provides a way to execute an external, compiled, MIVA Script file (.mvc) located in the script directory, on the same server as Merchant installation. There are no Function requirements in this method and only Global Merchant variables will be available.
function - Token provides a way to execute an external, compiled, MivaScript file (.mvc) located in the script directory, on the same server as Merchant installation. A Specific Function with parameters is used. Merchant Global, All_Settings, Settings, Module, Item and passed Parameter variables will be available to this function. An uncomiled MIVA Script file containing example Function is included with Module distribution. This function also contains an example Breadcrumb Navigation script which can be used on Category and Product Pages.
call - Token provides a way to call(read/execute) and render an external file located on any server, accessible through an HTTP call. Youc an also use this functionality to execute external script files. These files can be MIVA, PHP, ASP, FLASH, Perl, JAVA, CFM, etc..

Extremely useful for sites with a corresponding print catalog whose customers can easily enter the product code as listed in the catalog.
Configurable options include:
Location of form can be anywhere in the following areas: global header, global footer, category tree header, category tree footer, storefront welcome message, or any category headers or footers. Form can be placed in these areas along with other text or HTML.
Size of textbox
Submit button can be HTML, image, or completely absent
Text on HTML button
Image and alt text for image button
Button location relative to textbox
HTML prompt to show before textbox
Screen users are redirected to after submitting form
Running Subtotal Display can show customers a running subtotal of their current basket, including the total number of items added. "Tokens" for the subtotal and number of items give you precise control over the appearance, and the admin interface features extensive additional display options.
The running subtotal may be displayed above/below the global header, below the top navigation bar, above/below the category tree header, above/below the category tree footer, and/or above/below the global footer. The subtotal can also be set to not display until items have been added to the basket
Additionally, you can specify exactly which screens to display the subtotal on, or have it displayed on all screens.
Identify your products with any number of flags or icons to identify them as new, cool, or whatever suits your store. A given product can have any number of icons assigned to it.
Icons are configured globally and then applied to products. An icon can appear on the product screen, category screen, product list screen, or search results. Icon Manager is fully compatible with all templating systems, including OpenUI Supermod templates, DynamicTemplates, OpenDesigner, and Product and Category Page Templates for additional display options as desired.
An icon can even link to a destination page or popup window. In the global settings, just define the Link To URL and, optionally, any link attributes such as CSS selectors, window targets, or event handlers.
A small icon library is included to get your started, and an import module is under development and will be provided to licensees free of charge.
Change all the product prices in your product database by a percent with one simple click. Great for those who raise or lower prices by a percentage across the board every so often.
This OpenUI extension allows you to set a default category pagination, configurable through admin, to be used when categories are set to do not paginate. This allows you to change page lengths for all categories at once, yet still be able to have different settings for individual categories if needed.
This display module allows you to configure your store's category screens with the use of thumbnail images for your products.
With Thumb Wizard, you can:
Select the Number of Thumbnail Images to display in each row.
Set Global Pagination for all Categories.
Select Product Fields to be displayed with option to display to the right or below the image.
Select Add, Buy and More Info Buttons.
Configure the Total Table/Cell control of Main Body.
The auto image feature eliminates the need to add a path to the thumbnail when setting up the product.
You can also opt to:
Display a default image if no image is available for a product (eliminates "image not found" boxes).
Display an Alternate Short Description Two different ways.
Display MSRP, Savings and Price 3 ways:
Use the Cost field to set MSRP and display savings as difference or Percentage.
Use a Percent markup over Price to extablish MSRPand display savings as difference or Percentage.
Use Price Groups to set discount and display normal price as MSRP and savings the difference between Price and Adjusted Price.
Select whether "Savings" is displayed as actual amount or percentage.
Create your own labels for "MSRP", "Savings" and "Your Price".
Control the Font size, color and bold control.
Select screens to display the above information.
Have independent and simultaneous control over products with a Price of Zero
Create your own message to replace "Price". Add email Link to your message. Email link includes Product Code and Name in Subj Line.
Select screens to display the above information.
Remove "Add" and "Buy" buttons on products with Zero Price.
Thumb Wizard is compatible with all Wizard series modules, as well as William Weiland's Inventory Management module.
NOTE: This module will not work with most other third party modules that display changes to the Category Screen. Unfortunately moving the location of the displayed elements also removes the hooks required for other modules.
This module gives you template access to the actual links so you can change them to be more search engine friendly. MIVA Merchant 5 out-of-the-box does not currently provide template access to the category tree links. I suspect they probably will open it up some time in the future. Until then, this module gives you that access.
Features: >- Provides full access to the category tree links - Create links which are optimized for search engine recognition - Provides ability to place subcategory navigation on the category screen - Displays category page breadcrumb navigation
Feature Details. Category Tree Access: The category tree template can be edited from the store edit screen at the tab "My Category Tree" or from any of the page template screens. The template is global and as such, you only need tomake changes in one location. Those changes will be reflected in all of the screens you haveadded this template item to.
If you have .htaccess re-write capability on your domain, you can even create directory style links. As an example, you can change a link like: http://www.pinemporium.com/merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Category_Code=1AA&Store_Code=PE into http://www.pinemporium.com/c/1AA/Software.html In addition to creating a short url, you can include the product or category name in the urlto provide more keyword visibility to search engines.
Subcategory Navigation: You can list the subcategories of a parent category on the right (main) side of the screen, e.g. right under the parent category title/name. You can create multiple columns, thereby taking up less screen real estate when you have categories with large numbers of subcategories.
Category Breadcrumb Navigation: On the category screen you can display the currentcategory and the heirarchy of its parent categories up to the store root level.
Customers can identify products that they would like to purchase but are currently out of stock. Once you place the product in stock, you can run the Send Email routine from the admin interface. It sends an unlimited number of notifications as one process, using Miva Engine
functions to prevent timeout. Each waiting customer will receive an email telling them that the product is back in stock.
If you are using my Inventory Management (IM) module (version 2.x or 3.x) or Miva's Inventory Management (version 4.x), the wait list manager will automatically insert the Wait List link on the product page when the
quantity is zero or less (version 2.x or 3.x) or out of stock (version 4.x configurable on a product by product basis). If you have modified your IM (version 2.x or 3.x) to allow ordering at less than zero to a specified lower
amount, you can modify the Wait List Manager to account
for that. In 4.x, this is determined by the global default or individual product's "out" setting. You can even block the
automatic link insertion by including the product code in the blocking list through the admin interface. If you
are not using an Inventory Management module, you can
still use the Wait List Manager by manually inserting the link into the product description of products you want to
"Wait List". In the case of "other" inventory management systems, you can insert the link into the code that those systems generate for out-of-stock messages.
When the customer clicks the Wait List link they are taken to a form to verify/enter their email address. If they are logged in, it inserts their email address for them. If not, they just type it in. The form also lists the number of other customers waiting for the item if
that number is 5 or above (just to the right of the
product name). This will give customers a sense
of urgency when they receive the in-stock notification. When they add themselves to the list, you have the option (in admin) of sending them a thank you (for their interest) email. If you employ this option, it will also tell them their position on the Wait List. When products are in short supply, that may be something your customers would like to know. Also, if they are already on the Wait List, and sign up again, it will not
duplicate their record, rather it will email them that they are already on the list and what their current position is on the list.
The admin configuration screen allows you to vary the name and/or image associated with this program so you aren't locked into the term "Wait List". You can also change the colors and fonts in the form along with the verbage in the form and notification email. You may even want to pass on a coupon code in the notification email for customers who have been waiting for a product.
When editing an individual product in admin, you can also display all of the Wait List records associated with that
product. They can be deleted manually in this screen if you don't plan to restock the item. There is also a handy link for mailing them to verify their continued interest in the item. For those not using an Inventory Management, this is also the screen that allows you to use Wait List to notify customers when an item is re-stocked. The Inventory Override works with either no online inventory system or inventory systems from other 3rd party module providers. Naturally, it also works with mine (version 2.x and 3.x) and Miva's (version 4.x) inventory systems. You can even limit the
notification in this screen to just some of the waiting customers. This is useful when you only receive a small number of the out-of-stock item and there are many more waiting for it. Since the entries are arranged in order, it is easy to give those on the waiting list the longest, the first shot at the newly re-stocked item.
You can quickly get a summary of all of the items on "Wait List" to provide you with a re-order, based on demand, tool.
When you Send Email, the module searches all products with a stock level (if using mine or Miva's Inventory Management systems) above zero and checks the product code against the Wait List database. Pending Wait List customers are notified of the re-stock of the product and their Wait List record is then deleted.
This module works with both the Miva Merchant and OpenUI look and feel user interfaces. Minor editing is required if you are not using the OpenUI.
To help the store owner identify needs quickly, an
optional CC email can be sent when an item is wait listed.
In the compiled version, you can use this module with
the standard MMUI, as mmui.mv edits are not required in
Merchant versions 4.14 and newer.
New in the compiled version is an alternate template form for
the customer to enter their name and email address. This template can
be HTML customized to suit your look and feel. If you are
not skilled at coding HTML, you can still use the default
(built in) form which is customized with colors, fonts,
etc with easy inputs in admin.
The compiled version of 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. Since
the tokens in this module conform to OpenToken
functionality, they may be used in other template type
screens like those provided by Viking Coders. Place the
wait list button on the Merchant pages so that it
better fits your desired look.
To help the store owner identify needs quickly, an
optional CC email can be sent when an item is wait listed.
