Found 108 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.
Insert HTML, text, or other content into the body and head tags of the storefront. Works great for adding JavaScript, Stylesheets (CSS), etc to your storefront.
Indications: This module is ideal for those who would like to add supplemental scripts to the HTML header, supplemental attributes or JavaScript event handlers to the BODY tag, or any combination of these, and who want control these additions on a screen-by-screen basis. For example, if you want to use JavaScript to create a pop-up survey window which only appears at the Order Shipping and Payment Selection screen (OPAY), you can insert your own code through this module, and have control over HEAD and BODY additions for any (and only) the screens you want to affect.
Contraindications: This module is additive only, in that it will not allow you to delete any of the attributes of the BODY tag or HTML header code which are generated by Miva Merchant or other installed modules. If you have other modules installed which already generate, for example, an onLoad JavaScript event handler, or for another example, a VLINK color attribute, this module will not allow you to delete or override those parts of the code generated by Miva Merchant. As with any web-based application, the end-user (or Merchant store customer) must browse your store with the appropriate software to take full advantage of some of the features made possible by this module. I can make no guarantees that code you insert will actually have the effect you desire (that's up to you), but I can guarantee that code you insert with this module enabled in your store will be added to pages generated by Miva Merchant.
For compiled v4.14-4.23.x stores, this product has been replaced by the OpenUI Advanced, and OpenUI Basic, products...
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.
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.
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).
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:
<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>)
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.

If you want to change the way your CategoryTree looks, then this is the OpenObject library you need. It allows you full control over the display the category tree, while leaving the actual database code in compiled MivaScript! The best of both worlds!
This creates a number of OpenObjects. These include:
OOLTREEPLS_CATTREE -- Main Category Tree Object
OOLTREEPLS_CATTREE_SKIP -- Allows you to reconfigure how to determine which categories are skipped.
OOLTREEPLS_CATTREE_HEADER_IMAGE_NOLINK -- Allows you to change how a "header" category "tree image" is displayed. Header categories are those with an underscore as the 2nd character of the category's code.
OOLTREEPLS_CATTREE_HEADER_TEXT_NOLINK -- Allows you to change how a "header" category "text name" is displayed. Header categories are those with an underscore as the 2nd character of the category's code.
OOLTREEPLS_CATTREE_TOP_IMAGE -- Allows you to change how a "top-level" category "tree image" is displayed. Top-level categories are those with no parent.
OOLTREEPLS_CATTREE_TOP_IMAGE_NOLINK -- Allows you to change how a "top-level" category "tree image" (selected) is displayed. Top-level categories are those with no parent.
OOLTREEPLS_CATTREE_TOP_TEXT -- Allows you to change how a "top-level" category "text name" is displayed. Top-level categories are those with no parent.
OOLTREEPLS_CATTREE_TOP_TEXT_NOLINK -- Allows you to change how a "top-level" category "text name" (selected) is displayed. Top-level categories are those with no parent.
OOLTREEPLS_CATTREE_PARENT_IMAGE -- Allows you to change how a "parent-level" category "tree image" is displayed. Parent-level categories are those with 1 or more children.
OOLTREEPLS_CATTREE_PARENT_IMAGE_NOLINK -- Allows you to change how a "parent-level" category "tree image" (selected) is displayed. Parent-level categories are those with 1 or more children.
OOLTREEPLS_CATTREE_PARENT_TEXT -- Allows you to change how a "parent-level" category "text name" is displayed. Parent-level categories are those with 1 or more children.
OOLTREEPLS_CATTREE_PARENT_TEXT_NOLINK -- Allows you to change how a "parent-level" category "text name" (selected) is displayed. Parent-level categories are those with 1 or more children.
OOLTREEPLS_CATTREE_CHILD_IMAGE -- Allows you to change how a "child-level" category "tree image" is displayed. Child-level categories are those with no children.
OOLTREEPLS_CATTREE_CHILD_IMAGE_NOLINK -- Allows you to change how a "child-level" category "tree image" (selected) is displayed. Child-level categories are those with no children.
OOLTREEPLS_CATTREE_CHILD_TEXT -- Allows you to change how a "child-level" category "text name" is displayed. Child-level categories are those with no children.
OOLTREEPLS_CATTREE_CHILD_TEXT_NOLINK -- Allows you to change how a "child-level" category "text name" (selected) is displayed. Child-level categories are those with no children.
The main category tree object (OOLTREEPLS_CATTREE) is a drop-in replacement for the standard OUI2_CATTREE object. By default, it functions the same as the OUI2_CATTREE object, but since the database code for the tree is compiled, it will run faster.
You can also use this object manually by calling it as such:
%OBJ(OOLTREEPLS_CATTREE)%
It also supports a number of different "filter" options, that allow you to automatically filter out (or skip) what categories are actually displayed. These filters, and how they are used, are:
%OBJ(OOLTREEPLS_CATTREE||ALPHA)% -- Will only display categories that begin with an alphacharacter, upper or lower case (A-Z, a-z).
%OBJ(OOLTREEPLS_CATTREE||ALNUM)% -- Will only display categories that begin with an alpha or numeric character, upper or lower case, or a number (A-Z, a-z, 0-9).
%OBJ(OOLTREEPLS_CATTREE||DIGIT)% -- Will only display categories that begin with an numeric character (0-9).
%OBJ(OOLTREEPLS_CATTREE||CHAR:{chr})% -- Will only display categories that begin with the specified character.
By default, all categories are displayed with one of four "style" classes. These will be specified in the anchor tag (for links), or
via the span tag (for non-links). Of course, this can be changed by editing the objects defined above.
cattree_header -- Header categories are those with an underscore as the 2nd character of the category's code.
cattree_top -- Top-level categories are those with no parent.
cattree_parent -- Parent-level categories are those with 1 or more children.
cattree_child -- Child-level categories are those with no children.

Advanced Development Solutions has taken a popular HTML Editor for the Internet, developed by Frederico Caldeira Knabben and customized it to work seamlessly with Merchant Administration. Allowing store managers to easily bring rich content to their stores without ever using an external editor or writing HTML directly. All text area fields in the Merchant store administration, that do not contain User Interface Items, will have this option. This includes Store, Category, Product and Third Party Enhancements. The editor is fully compatible with User Interface Entities, making it easy to integrate dynamic content with HTML. We also offer this module for an older version of Merchant.
Testimonials
I have the Merchant HTML WYSIWYG Editor module installed and working on huntsvillegenerator.com, and I have to tell you that I am very impressed. Frankly, I was a bit concerned about using a module in a production setting that had just been released, but this is something that I have been waiting for someone to develop for a long time. After using it for a few minutes I had no more concerns. Now my clients can easily enter and edit product descriptions, category headers, and the storefront without having to scroll sideways or learn what and
tags are. I built the entire site in Miva using openDesigner, and the content for each page is contained in User Objects. Your module is an essential tool for managing that content. Bravo!

Search Engine Optimization for Miva Merchant
Miva Merchant does not inherently provide the Meta Tags that are used by search engines to
catalog websites. The MetaTag Generator automatically provides the Meta Tags required by search engines for proper search engine recognition and positioning. This module creates those tags for you and allows your storefront to be recognized and cataloged by the search engines.
Key Benefits Include:
Automatically generates category- and product-specific keywords based on existing category and product names in Miva Merchant
Automatically generates a page description based on the existing site introduction page, category and product headers in Miva
Merchant
Places these keywords in the HTML HEAD section of your Miva Merchant store – exactly where the search engines go to look for Meta
Tags!
Allows you to specify site-wide keywords that are added to all pages
Automatically creates META ROBOT tags to indicate which pages should be followed and indexed (ie: Store Front, Category and Product pages), and "noindex" for pages such as the Login & Checkout
Allows you to tell the search engines how often to come back and spider your site through the “Meta Revisit-After” functionality
Gives you FULL CONTROL of your product and category Meta Tag descriptions and keywords
Specify Site-Wide Keywords that are added to all pages
All descriptions and keywords can be customized individually for the store front, category and product pages
It's a common misconception that search engines don't properly catalog Miva Merchant sites; the truth is that Merchant does not provide the proper search engine Meta Tags, causing poor search engine placement. Adding this module to your store will provide search engine compliant Meta Tags, improving how some search engines will catalog your site!
The Search Friendly Store Map module creates a static HTML page containing Search Friendly Links to all of the categories and products in your Miva Merchant store. When you provide an HTML link to the Store Map from your home page, search engines will read the map and will then be directed to catalog every category and product in your store.
The Search Friendly Store Map optionally uses short-style links in order to provide search engines with links that are more likely to be followed. When using a short-link style, this module should only be used with its sister-module, Search Friendly Links. The Search Friendly Links module understands the short links in the Store Map and interprets the short links so that your store links function properly. When used together, these two products greatly improve the possibility of having your storefront “spidered” by the search engines.
The Search Friendly Store Map optionally uses “directory style” short links which are then rewritten into Search Friendly Links using the Apache mod_rewrite commands described in the manual. This third (optional) style of link should only be used when Apache-style URL rewriting is available and the Search Friendly Links module is also installed. This format should provide optimal spidering, as all products and categories are seen as “static html” pages via the Store Map.
Key Benefits:
Generates a static HTML Store Map page from your Miva Merchant site
Static HTML page contains links to all category and product pages in your Miva Merchant site
All links in the Store Map are optionally “Search Friendly”
The Store Map page can be provided to search engines for “spidering”
The Store Map page can be made available on your website to give customers a quick way to navigate through your site
Map Headers and Footers are configurable so map can serve as a “splash page’
Static HTML “directory” style links using .htaccess rewriting:
ie: http://www.store.com/page/Store/Screen/Cat/Prod
Inserts a LINK tag in the HTML HEAD section of your Miva Merchant storefront
LINK tags tell a search engine to read the static HTML page and catalog all the category and product pages in the store map
Allows you to re-generate the static HTML page with the click of a button when you add more products or categories to your Miva Merchant storefront
Create an updated list of your category and product pages on the HTML page
When search engines “spider” the static HTML Store Map page created by the Search Friendly Store Map module, they will see every product and category in your store. The short links lead the spiders down to the actual, dynamic pages in your Miva Merchant site and the search engines can then catalog the dynamic pages. In essence, you are using a static HTML page that is easy to update and automatically uses short links to lure the spiders deep into the dynamic pages of Miva Merchant.
***NOTE: When using either of the optional links (Short-style links or Directory-style links) this module must be used in conjunction with its sister-module, Search Friendly Links. A mod_rewrite rule is required when using directory style links. Please consult your hosting provider to see if mod_rewrite is supported to determin if this link style will be available to you.
This is the mother of all display modules (and the one we used at our own store).
This OpenUI extension gives you total control of your tables, margins, store headers and footers, and more. You can optionally customize:
margins, exterior & interior tables, category tree table, body table, category tree placement (left or right)
You can also: add a new third table cell, add script in the HEAD tags, use an alternate navigation bar, remove or install an alternate category menu, add HTML above the sign in link, add HTML to a new right column.
All functions are handled right in the admin and can be updated/tested immediately.
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.
Allows one to replace the bolded "Related Item(s)" table header on the product page with any valid HTML. (The header may also be completely removed by replacing the default text with a non-breaking space.)
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.
