2 Search Friendly Links Copernicus / Miva Central

The Search Friendly Links module replaces the links in the category tree and category pages of Miva Merchant with “short links” that are more search engine friendly. Miva Merchant uses long links with 4 variables. Some search engines will not follow these links while they will follow shorter links with fewer variables.

Key Benefits

  • Generates short-links in the category tree and category pages in Miva Merchant
  • Interprets short-links from any web page or email
  • Benefits of shorter links
    • Short links are generally more likely to be followed by Search Engine spiders
    • Easy to write (and remember) direct links to products and categories in your store
    • Long links may word-wrap in some email systems, causing them not to link properly
    • Shorter links are less likely to word wrap
    • Search engines frequently will not read links with multiple variables (a.k.a. “long links”) such as those produced by Miva Merchant
    • A typical Miva Merchant link such as:
      http://www.yourstore.com/pathto/merchant.mv? Store_Code=ST&Screen=SFNT&Category_Code=CTGY1&Product_Code=PRD1

      is shortened to:

      http://www.yourstour.com/pathto/merchant.mv?page=ST/SFNT/CTGY1/PRD1
      or: http://www.yourstore.com/page/ST/SFNT/CTGY1/PRD1

      The reduction in the number of variables helps with search engine spiders

  • Short links are always interpreted and understood by your store when the module is installed and turned on. Therefore, any “short” external link can be used even if you have turned off the display of the short links.
  • Long links are always interpreted and understood by your store; so previous search engine listings and external links continue to work normally.
  • The “display” of the short links in your store can be disabled, though the store will continue to interpret the short links from external sources (ie: the companion product Search Friendly Store Map, emails and mailing list, etc)
The Search Friendly Links module can produce best results when used in conjunction with the companion product Search Friendly Store Map. The store map product will generate a static HTML page containing Search Friendly Links to every product and category in your store! Search engines tend to give static HTML pages (and the links on these pages) higher precedence and ranks. When used together, these two products generally enhance search engine positioning.

New In v4.02/v4.52:
  • Directory Style Short Links: http://www.yourstore.com/page/SC/PROD/CAT1/PROD1
  • OpenUI Token and Copernicus OpenUI SuperMod Template Compatible


***NOTE: In order to generate the short links with only one variable, each of the included variables are separated with a forward-slash ("/") character. Thus, no category or product should have this character in the category or product code.

Example Usage A storefront owner that sells cakes and jelly beans online wants to improve the search engine positioning of the store. He has an attractive storefront and has made it very customer friendly (yep, you guessed it – he’s using the Copernicus Customer Service Suite) but the only shoppers who come to his site are repeat customers who originally heard about his site through “word of mouth.” He knows that if he could just get listed in the major search engines he could increase his sales, but he can’t understand why his site has not been “spidered” by the search engines. He’s not ready to “pay per click” with search engines like Overture, he just wants to get listed.

As a result of his frustration about his search engine placement (or actually, lack thereof), the storefront owner has been learning a lot about search engine optimization (SEO). He has learned that the reason his website has no placement on the search engines is because Miva Merchant produces dynamic pages with links that are not read by the spiders and robots sent out by search engines to find websites. The links are too long (those spiders are so impatient!) and spiders disqualify them due to having too many variables. Of course, he knows that it’s also very important that his pages are full of good content that can be easily logged by the search engines.

The Solution: The Search Friendly Links module will quickly solve the long links problem that this storefront is having. The Search Friendly Links module turns the long links for each category and product page into “short links” that are easily read by those spiders and robots. Further, he likes to make posts to the “Dessert-lovers” email forum; but every time he posts a link to one of his products, the links are so long they “word-wrap” and become un-clickable! So he installs the Search Friendly Links module, and starts posting short links to his products. Now his links look better in his store and his email, and the spiders are happier too!

3 Customer and Product Administration v5 Emporium Plus / Miva Central

Communication of order status with your customers is a critical element in the overall success of your store. 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. This module is for MIVA Merchant 5.x. We also have the corresponding module for an older version of Merchant.

- Unlimited number of templates for the status change emails
- Quick inventory adjustment when orders are cancelled

- Customers can view their order status and shipping tracking by entering their order number and email
- Customers can have one click re-order from invoices in the current orders
- Auto-assign customer membership to price groups based on their order total history

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.

4 Search Friendly Store Map Copernicus / Miva Central

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’
  • Choice of three link styles:
    1. Standard Miva Merchant links
    2. Short-style “merchant.mv?page=” (Search Friendly) Links:
      ie: http://www.store.com/path/merchant.mv?page=Store/Screen/Cat/Prod
    3. 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.

8 QwkTracker - Traffic Origination And Conversion Tracking System 4thebest.net / Miva Central

QwkTracker allow a merchant to track the traffic coming into their store starting with where it came from and tracking it through the shopping process. The system can help a merchant determine if they are spending their money wisely on pay-per-click advertising such as Overture, Google, and Miva Marketplace or non-pay-per-click links from friends, associates, business partners, or advertising campaigns. QwkTracker helps merchant determine who is most effective in sending traffic to their site, which referring links translate to more sales, and where in the shopping experience they may be losing sales.

Miva Merchant Compatibility: 2x, 3x, 4x (compiled and uncompiled)


Features/Advantages

Tracks Pay-Per-Click and Non-Pay-Per-Click Traffic
You can use QwkTracker with most traffic generation services such as Overture, Google, FindWhat, Sprinks, Kanoodle, Ah-Ha, and Miva Marketplace. QwkTracker also works great with link sharing systems, banner ads, web rings, or any other systems that direct traffic to your site.

Compatible with Miva’s Affiliate Module
QwkTracker also works with Miva Merchant’s built in affiliate system and can give you very powerful and useful information about the traffic your affiliates are sending you.

Compatible with third party tracking variables
QwkTracker has a built in variable mapping feature that lets you tell it to use the values of variables already being sent to your site that you have set-up for other third party software. You can quickly and easily configure the software to for example use the affiliate code of a third party affiliate module.

Fights Fraudulent Traffic Charges
The tracking information provided by QwkTracker can be used to help you spot fraudulent traffic you may be paying for that you shouldn’t be paying for. Most systems/services that direct traffic to your site claim to prevent wasted clicks from the same shopper, and protect against competitors or hackers that may be clicking your links to drive up your costs. QwkTracker arms you with the data on the traffic that you can use to spot such fraud and the data that your traffic generation service will need to help stop you from being charged for it.

Provides Shopping Experience Traffic Data
Even if you aren’t using any pay-per-click services QwkTracker can still give you important data on your traffic. It can indicate to you where in the shopping process the shopper is leaving and thus clue you in to places where your store may need some work, or your polices (such as shipping charges) may need to be adjusted.

Works with HTML Landing Pages
QwkTracker works even if you want your pay-per-click traffic to land on a static html page rather than inside your Miva Merchant store. The system does this by linking the traffic to the Miva Merchant store in a special way that allows the visitor to be transferred seamlessly from the Miva Merchant software to a local or remote URL of your choice without stopping the browser’s back button from working. This ability to redirect your traffic without breaking the functionality of the browser’s back button is critical because the top pay-per-click services such as Overture will not allow you to use links that break the back button.

Special support for tracking traffic to static HTML Pages
QwkTracker has special code that supports tracking from static html pages using separate redirection software such as QwkRed. The combination can be used to allow you to track where traffic came from that came to your site via your own static html pages. And even work to track the traffic path if the static pages are hosted on a completely different domain or web server.

Reporting
All of the data generated by the system is easily viewed in reports that you can configure based on the start and end date/time, sources, and keywords, and the reports can be displayed as html tables or in various delimited text formats for fast and easy use in third party spreadsheet or database software. Reports come in two types, summary reports that have the numbers crunched for you and are easy to read and great for seeing trends, and raw reports that have more granular detail. The same filtering by start and end date/time, sources, and keywords can be used for deleting old, irrelevant, or unwanted data quickly and easily.

9 Short Links Weiland / Emporium Plus

You don't need a module to do this. At http://www.emporiumplus.com/store4.txt is a text file. Simply save it to your PC. Edit the first line and change the store code from wcw to whatever your store code is. Edit the next to the last line and change the 4.00 to your merchant version. Rename the file to store4.mv and put it in your root directory. Then you can call it like http://www.emporiumplus.com/store4.mv?p=1AA00100 using p = Product, c = Category, s = Search. Or you can name the screen directly, eg Screen=BASK Here are some url examples:

  • http://www.emporiumplus.com/store4.mv?p=1AA00100
  • http://www.emporiumplus.com/store4.mv?c=1AA
  • http://www.emporiumplus.com/store4.mv?s=Foster
  • http://www.emporiumplus.com/store4.mv?Screen=TELL

As you can see in the code, it also has hit tracking. It creates a flat file entry every time it is run so you can easily view what your customers are going to by using a flat file import into something like MS Excel or MS Access.

10 Order Status Manager Viking Coders / Miva Central

This module provides you with the tools you need to let your customers check the status of their past orders. It adds a link (or links, in up to 13 different positions), to the Merchant pages which customers can use to access their order history. The customer is given a display of all of their past orders. They can view the details of any of the orders, and even search them for details. The tracking numbers themselves can be direct links to the shipper's website tracking page, so the customer can check the status of their order with simple click on a link. The merchant, can access a listing of all orders, searchable by customer, date, orderid, shiping status, tracking number, etc., change their status, enter tracking numbers (for orders and even individual products), and have an email sent to the customer notifying them of the change. Shipping labels can be displayed and printed for each order. The format of the shipping label/packing slip is completely configurable using tokens.

The merchant can individually configure many of the features of the module. For example, the status themselves are NOT predefined. The Merchant can configure these to be whatever he wants. Similarly, the "tracking types" can be configured, complete with a URL to use for that type of tracking number. When the tracking number is displayed to the customer, that URL is used to take the customer to the shipper's tracking page. The module comes preconfigured with the URLs for UPS, USPS, and FedEx but adding additional tracking types is simple. The merchant can select to send an email when the status of an order changes. Email can be sent to the customer's billing, shipping, or both, email addresses. Separate text for each type of email can be configured (ie. separate email text can be configured for when the status changes to "shipping", or "back-ordered", or whatever). The email text can include dozens of possible tokens that can be used to represent the customer's details (first name, last name, login, password etc.), tracking status, link to the customer's orders status page (it automatically logs them in), link to the storefront, and many more. The module does not require that the customer be logged in for their order data to be saved. Of course if the customer was not logged in when they placed their order, they won't be able to view the order later.

The module maintains a separate database of the orders which is a duplicate of Merchant's order databases, including the payment and shipping details. So you can delete orders from within Merchant admin, but the customers will still be able to view their past orders. The Order Status orders can be deleted from within the modules admin interface. That interface also provides the ability to search the orders by date, customer, tracking number, tracking type, and status. The order details can be viewed, and tracking status, number, and type, can be set for individual products within the order.

11 Search Engine Tweak Pro Pixel Composer / Miva Central

You've got your store spidered by the search engines, you're showing up in the search engine results, but you just can't seem to improve your rankings...Search Engine Tweak Pro (SETPro) is here to help!

Search engines take into account many factors when ranking web results, and one of the most important is proper page content optimization. Miva Merchant's dynamic page creation is not designed to be search engine friendly with how it creates and displays the page content. This is where SETPro comes in to play with a number of optimizations and enhancements for product and category screens. These optimizations are primarily done with the Google search engine in mind, but are also relevant to most other popular search engines.

PRODUCT SCREENS:

  • Product Name Tags:

    Allows you to set the product names on the product screens to a preferred heading tag, bold, or none (

    ,

    ,

    ,

    , ).

The keywords to focus on for an individual product page are typically contained within the product name. Making the product name a larger font size using the heading tags, compared to most of the other page content, adds extra weight to those keywords when rankings are determined.

  • Remove Store Name In Product Title Bar:

    Optionally strips out the store name in the product screen title bars.

Page titles are extremely important to search engines. Miva Merchant adds the store name in the browser window's title bar along with the product name. This is a good thing, but it may also make it undesireable by diluting the product name keywords with an unnecessary store name, thus giving less weight to your keyword focus.

  • Product Description at Top of HTML Body:

    Optionally placed at the very top of the page, just after the tag in the page code, this displays the product name followed by the first 200 characters of the product description. Any HTML used in the description is stripped out before being displayed at the page top.

Stock Miva Merchant nests a considerable amount of hidden tables within one another. It makes for an adequate display but search engines don't see page content as the viewer does. That creates a large amount of page code that pushes the product descriptions far down the page, even possibly tripping up some older search engines. It's best to have your real keyword content as far up the page code as possible, creating more keyword weight and improving relevancy for the product pages. It's recommended to use either this option or the commented out feature described below, but not both.

  • Commented Out Product Description at Top of HTML Body:

    Optionally placed at the very top of the page, just after the tag in the page code. This option adds the product name followed by the first 200 characters of the product description text, commented out (hidden from view). Any HTML used in the description is stripped out before it's added to the top of the page code.

This is the same as the product description display above, except that the description and title are commented out, essentially invisible, at the top of the page. Most search engines will ignore comment tags but some may take them into account. This is an elegant alternative to actually displaying the product name with description at the top of the page, leaving the page as it's meant to be displayed. It's recommended to use either this option or the displayed product description feature described above, but not both.

CATEGORY SCREENS:

  • Category Name Tags:

    Allows you to set the category names on the category screen, to a preferred heading tag, bold, or none (

    ,

    ,

    ,

    , ).

The keywords to focus on for an individual category page are typically contained within the category name. Making the category name a larger font size using the heading tags, compared to most of the other page content, adds extra weight to those keywords when rankings are determined.

  • Remove Store Name In Category Title Bar:

    Optionally strips out the store name in the category screen title bars.

Page titles are extremely important to search engines. Miva Merchant adds the store name in the browser window's title bar along with the category name. This is a good thing, but it may also make it undesireable by diluting the category name keywords with an unnecessary store name, thus giving less weight to your keyword focus.

  • Product Links in Line-Item Listings:

    Optionally replaces the product name with a linked product name, when a line-tem listing is used. This is mainly for category screens, but also applies to related products, search results, and product list screens.

Search Engines add additional keyword weight to pages using those keywords contained in incoming anchor text (links) from other pages.

  • Product Short Description in Line-Item Listings:

    Optionally adds a short product description under the product name when a line-item listing is used. Mostly used for category screens, but also applies to related products, search results, and product list screens when line-item formatting is used. Choices are:

    1. None
    2. Product Description (First 200 characters with stripped out HTML code)
    3. Product Short Description (Displays from the OpenUI Short Description Field)
Particularly helpful with non-descriptive category screens or related product areas, by adding more useful content for search engines to index. Also useful for adding varied keyphrases by use of the product's Short Description field.

12 Category Tree Plus -- Open Objects Library OpenThemes and Objects / Miva Central

NO LONGER AVAILABLE!

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.

13 Software / Content / Access Delivery truXoft / Miva Central

Upon the order completion the module creates a temporary directory with cryptic name (you can define the length of the random cryptic directory name), locks it with user name/password and copies there all ordered products or documents that are set up for download (or remote access - e.g. at courses or member restricted websites). Beyond the (optional) login/password, it allows an additional security with (optional) crosschecking of cookies, IP address, browser version and several other parameters. You can also set the account expiration time after which the directory will be automatically removed. All this runs with symbolic links, it means the original files or documents are stored out of the public area, in the Miva data directory and they are not transferred or copied physically. So for example if you have a software product or a document for download of 1MB and 100 active customers, it does not take 100MB of disk space, but still just 1MB - and additionally the account creation is much faster and less resource intensive than when copying whole files.

Notifications with the download links may be sent to the customer either immediately upon the purchase with a selected payment method (e.g. a credit card) or after approving the order manually from the Ultra Batch Report. If you do not own the Ultra Batch module, you can use the MmHTML (Merchant Notification Email module) instead of the MmHTMLc (Customer Confirmation Email module) and forward the received Merchant notification e-mail to the customer after approving the purchase.

  • Software, Content, Website access delivery through protected URLs
  • Multiple protection: cryptic URL name, password, IP address, host name, cookie, browser version, language settings,...
  • MmPASS optionally either re-uses Miva Merchant passwords or generates own secure random passwords of defined length.
  • Account expiration time may be set from seconds to years long
  • Subsequent orders of a customer may be optionally kept in his personal folder or in a new folder with separate settings and protection.
  • No neccessity to set up each product individually. All files may be set up quickly with a single customizable name pattern to avoid complicated settings.
  • Original data are stored in the non-public Miva data directory with no access from the web.
  • No files are being copied - only a single set of the original files remains on the disk. Virtual copies are created without moving any data, through symbolic links.
  • Solution with symbolic links means no additional disk space requirements
  • Creating symbolic links is much faster and less resource intensive than copying of files
  • NO external cgi programs are necessary and therefore high compatibility and easy installation is provided
  • Each product may be associated with a single or multiple files, documents, directories, URLs or with a whole tree structure.
  • You can mix software and hardware (downloadable and non-downloadable products)
  • Different files / URLs may be optionally offered for products with attributes / options.
  • Product attributes / options may be served as independent products (same file for all products) or another file may be defined for each product/attribute combination.
  • At each product, different files may be served for users depending on their location or other parameters.
  • You can deliver the URLs do the customer immediately upon payment (with MmHTMLc) or later after a manual approval (with MmHTML or with MmPSLP and the Ultra Batch Report)
  • NEW: You can select payment methods for automated and manual processing
  • NEW: members/customer may now use common entry URL (simple to remember)
  • NEW: Admin interface in Ultra Batch - account managment
  • NEW: individual expiration time for each product may be set now
  • Supports Miva Merchant 2, 3 and 4 on Unix / Apache and with some restrictions also on Windows servers
  • Does not require OpenUI. Works with both OUI and MMUI.
  • No OUI hook conflicts - truXoft modules are 100% conform to the Miva Merchant API, they do not use OUI extensions and therefore never cause hook conflicts with other modules, otherwise common at OUI modules.

14 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.

16 Search Engine Killer Wump Services / Miva Central

Have you ever wondered why you're not getting massive hits on your Miva Merchant Store when you have the best prices on the Internet? Ever searched the internet through a search engine only to find that some ancient, inefficient and cumbersome old site is getting all the hits that you deserve?

Well now its time to get serious, its time to get even... its time to bring in the Search Engine KILLER.

THE PROBLEM
merchant.mv?thisandthat

The problem with Miva Merchant and other database driven stores is that the technology used to access and display the product information is NOT search engine friendly.. In fact, most search engines will ignore EVERY PAGE of your eStore!

Someone somewhere made the decision that URLs with arguments, information passed long with the URL eg. file.mv?argument1&argument2 etc, indicates that the page isn't worth indexing, but these arguments are essential to any database driven store. Some search engines even refuse to index pages that are .mv! (Northern Light for one).

As a result, your state of the art Miva Merchant Store is missing out on major search engine exposure, and your competitors lousy mall which they hand create using FrontPage97 is getting all the hits.. JUST BECAUSE EVERY PAGE IS A STATIC HTML PAGE.

In an ideal world, what you need is the sophistication of your Miva Merchant Mall and the search engine pulling power of a good old HTML site too.

THE SOLUTION
Now YOU can live in that ideal world!

Search Engine Killer (or SEK for short) is perhaps the most significant software release for Merchant stores EVER!

While it adds NOTHING to the functionality of Merchant, it wages war on search engines - those sites who may well decide how much money you make next month.

It is a sophisticated complementary product which runs seperately from Merchant, but knows everything about your store!

The mirror site is:
  • 100% HTML
  • Designed with the Search Engine in mind using the Title tag, Meta Tags, text placement, IMG ALT attributes and more to get you the best possible search engine ranking.
  • automatically generates HTML pages from the information stored within Merchant:
- an index.html page for submition to search engines with a link to every other generated page
- an html page for each category and subcategory, eg. your_category_code.html which lists every product and links to..
- an html page for each product
  • product pictures througout! The SEK Mirror references the URL of the product images already online in your real merchant store!
  • multiple links on every html page to both the SEK Mirror pages (so that the search engines find and index every single page) and directly to your Merchant Mall..
  • dynamic referencing technology is used so that the links back to your Miva Merchant Mall are context sensitive. eg. SEK Mirror product pages click straight through to the appropriate BUY ONE page in your real Merchant Store!
  • remembers your previous preferences to allow ultra-fast regeneration after significant changes to your mall
  • SAME NAMING CONVENTIONS AS SEK1
  • the html files generated are named using the Merchant Category and Product codes you have specified in Merchnat so that even after a new mirror is generated the Search Engines find previously indexed files.
  • Even if search engines DID spider every page of your Merchant Store, there is NO WAY that it would get the same high rankings. Your SEK Mirrors site is built from the ground up with search engines in mind by a developer with many years of experience in site promotion.
and here is the trick..

EVERY PAGE IS DESIGNED TO GIVE THE IMPRESSION THAT IT IS YOUR STORE WHEN IT IS REALLY JUST A TEASER PAGE

What will it mean to your business to be able to submit a single html page to search engines and have their spider catalog every category and product you have?

How would you like to be able to strengthen your position by submitting an html page for each category that can also be submitted seperately?

18 Swap Link Weiland / Miva Central

Converts your category and product links to single parameter URLs so that search engines will index your Merchant pages. Many search engines will only index URLs which have just one value after the ? character. This shortened URL is swapped with the original URL links for the category names in the category tree and the product names on the various list pages and category pages. Alternatively, you can use URLs which are similar to the original URL links, but with the Store_Code removed. These shorter (modified URLs) can be indexed by most search engines. By using this method, you don't need an external handler file and will still get the store indexed.

Optionally adds rollover bullets to the left of the category names in the category column. These bullets contain links in the standard URL format for Merchant so that each category has two different links on the storefront. As an added feature, if the store is a single store in the domain, the URL is optimized for search engines by removing the redundant store code which has been found to hinder search engines. This optimized URL is used with the optional bullets in the category column and also with the thumbnails on category pages.

Optionally adds text or image below the thumb on category pages, e.g. Click to Enlarge or More Info.

This module works with a handler file such as our free store4.mvc (compiled store4.mv).

The Swap Link module can further enhance your chances of search engine ranking by producing static sitelink*.htm files which list all of your categories and products with the single parameter link. This feature is configurable to allow you to optimize the sitelink pages with meta tags, key word rich text, etc. The site link pages are generated very quickly through admin. You can optionally include the price and a brief description of the item. The brief description uses either the Flexible Product Description module pseudofield called "brief" or the first 100 characters of the full product description. As long as you don't go overboard with your narrative (top of page) text, each page will be less than 100K. If multiple pages are required to include your whole catalog, a link to the next page is included on each page.

Limitations:

OpenUI look and feel only. While it can be used in a MMUI store (like this one), the editing is complex and I do not provide instructions so that you could do it yourself, as anticipated support would be significant.

Currently has not been tested with cgi type Merchant URLs, so I can't certify that it works with them.

Currently is not compatible with Viking Coders category templates. If there is enough interest, I will make an effort to include that compatibility.

If you have replaced the standard layouts (product line or product expanded) with custom, 3rd party module solutions, then the swap links will not be generated for those particular pages.

Category links use the standard category tree (column). If you have removed the left hand category column, then the swap links cannot be generated.

20 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.
