1 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 Froogle^TM. It contains the header and data for the basic file format.

2 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

4 Static Account & Checkout Links modStop /

Permits static URLs to be used to direct customers: When you construct your URLS for the static navbar, in the Account URL, use Screen="SACNT" (instead of Screen=ACNT) to direct the customer to the account page if logged in or to the Login screen if not. In the checkout URL, use Screen="SOINF" (instead of Screen="OINF") to direct the customer to the customer information page if logged in, and to the Login screen if not (and then to the customer information screen after they log in). Also, you need to have it set in admin to provide the login screen before the checkout to have this particular redirection work.

Static page generation will make a duplicate of your site's products into static html pages, with an easy index page of all items. This script inserts the META tags (Description, and Keywords, NOFOLLOW) from your product name, and description, and places them into the HEAD of the document (where they are found by search engines). The filenames are the product codes, and the title of the page is the product name. Even the products' Attributes are placed on the screen for the customer to make a choice right there! From these pages, visitors can add the product, and it will take them into the basket of the store.

Plug And Play Utility module allows complete control over how your page is formatted. you choose where the Product Name, Description, Image, Price, Weight, Product Code, and Attributes display. All customizable from an easy to use Admin Screen. It has never been easier to make pages for the Search Engines, and keep them updated.

10 Froogle Data Feed Product Export Weiland / Miva Central

Export your Miva Merchant product data in the basic file format required for Froogle^TM (© 2002 Google) data feed submissions for inclusion in their ecommerce search engine. Fields included: product_url, name, description (html removed), price, image_url, category, offer_id (code). This Miva Merchant plugin module works with both MMUI and OpenUI. No mmui.mv edits required.

Most agree, Google is the mother of all search engines on the Internet. Their new venture to create a listing of actual items for sale across the Internet, rather than pages with hits on keywords, is a bold attempt to better target customers and buyers in a symbiotic relationship. This is a giant leap in eCommerce, providing comparison shopping using the Google search engine. If you are a Miva Merchant store owner you CANNOT afford to miss this opportunity, especially since inclusion in the FroogleTM index is free. How much have you invested in getting your store's search engine rankings?

A big side benefit to getting listed in FroogleTM is that the Google company is spidering your site, thus it may increase the number of your pages listed in Google. Coincidentally, my site went from 1220 to 1350 pages in Google within a week after submitting the first data feed to FroogleTM. Granted, I use Static Catalog Generator to create static html pages of all of my products so there were already a lot of pages in Google. Now I have an additional 130 which had been overlooked. If you don't have a good representation of your product catalog already in Google or other search indexes, you may want to use the Static Catalog Generator to optimize site visibility. Search engine optimization requires a multi-pronged approach (static html pages, shorter links, specific paid or unpaid submissions to directories). I have found that use of static html pages consistently gets my site into search indexes better than the dynamically produced Miva Merchant pages. There is no direct indication that listing in Froogle will effect your listing in Google, only time will tell.

A module designed for the specific purpose of creating a data feed for Froogle^TM (rather than a generic data export) can include features which make it the best solution for the task:

• Include an affiliate code in the URLs so that you can better track where actual sales are coming from
• If your store is a single store in the domain, you can remove the Store_Code from the URL to aid in search engine spidering
• If you are using our Volume Pricing module (version 4.53 or newer), you have the option to submit the lowest (bulk) prices as your product prices, thus making your listings more attractive when compared with competitors in the Froogle^TM listing. However, the Google Feeds Support said the quantity option is not yet supported so it would be "best if you just give the price for ordering a single item". Eventually they plan to list the minimum break points to obtain the volume prices.
• Fast Data Feed plugin module creates the datafeed flat file directly from your admin
  • Frequent, no hassle submissions keep your data current in Froogle^TM
  • Eliminates the need to copy product and category databases from the server to your PC to produce a flat file export with software such as MS Excel
  • Uses your data as it exists within admin at the moment it is run
• Control over category insertion
  • Limit export to specific categories
  • Automatically builds the category hierarchy from each product's category up to top level category
  • Optionally modify category placement, overriding actual category hierarchy
• Removes html from your product descriptions; converting the brackets to escaped characters or even hiding html using the !-- technique did not satisfy Froogle^TM support staff - it must be completely removed
• Included in the module are features to eliminate timeouts when generating the data feed export of large numbers of products
• Exports to your documents directory rather than your data directory for ease of capture and transmittal

Don't delay. The Froogle^TM index is still in beta. As such, knowledge about it is not yet widespread due to limited promotion. The Froogle^TM support team has been reviewing requests for inclusion and currently have reasonable turn around time. Your store may or may not be accepted and I would expect it to take longer and have more stipulations for acceptance and continued inclusion as this service becomes more popular. You should request acceptance into Froogle^TM as soon as possible. Once accepted, whether you use our module for building the datafeed or some other software, you should do it now while time is on your side.

As this is a new endeavor for Froogle^TM, I expect them to change their format and add new capabilities over time. Licensees of the 4.x version of this module will have free upgrades of the module through the 4.x version. We do not yet have a 2.x version available but will be exploring that option next week. Please ensure you select the correct module version for the version of Merchant you have.

11 Merchant Optimizer Phosphormedia / Miva Central

Get dedicated-server performance and better search engine optimization from a module.

If your site is bogging down from too many "just looking" visitors, or if your finding your Merchant Store pages not getting into search engines, then Merchant Optimizer is the perfect tool for you. Merchant Optimizer works by creating exact copies of your store's screens, saving them as standard HTML pages in an alternate directory. These static pages are much easier for your server to serve to your customers and for search engines to scan and index. With a few additional tricks, you direct all browsing to be done in the static pages, or just use the static pages as entry points for your Merchant store's dynamically generated screens. You can create separate static pages for different affiliates, or even for different domains, using your store for example, to create a mirror site that can be used under a different domain. For example, you can have a copy of your store's screens, on www.mysite.com, then create another site called www.myothersite.com....and have both sites point shoppers into your Merchant store. (This second store could be configured with an affiliate link, and those hits tracked by any compatible affiliate module such as Merchant's built in affiliate module or VikingCoders.com Affiliate Manager.)

As you can see, this module is both absurdly simple to operate, yet limitless in its applications. A little imagination will go a long way.

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.

• 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:

• 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.

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 Redirect Shopper Crosstowntraffic.net /

Requires OUI
This OpenUI extension will redirect a customer when the a special url link code is added to the link, with a corresponding modified screen code. Two screens have been modified to respond to these redirects: Log on, and Account

Use when sending a customer to log on, and it automatically brings up their account information screen. When the customer is finished editing, it will redirect the user to the root web when the information is submitted. A link to the Order History Screen has also been added to the Account Information Screen.

The default screen that shows when no screen is specified is the basket. Modifying the headers, and footers of your store to use these modified links is a snap, using TweakOUI. Screens that have not been addressed are: Products, Categories, Product List, Search, Storefront, and the Checkout Process. This modification allows for integration with a static site, and keeps the customer out of the Merchant Store as much as possible - utilizing your static HTML pages. Links inside the basket to a products information in the store are still active. quot;This module opens a new dimension to the way we can use Miva Merchant with our existing site!"

Version 4.x
Specifying the page that they return to. Such as: the page they came from. This MMUI extension will redirect a customer back to a specified page, when using an add to basket derivitive in the link from a static page . You do not need to specify a Screen, such as Screen=BASK, because they will not see it unless you specify to send them to the basket using the Screen command.

19 Flexible Product Description Weiland / Miva Central

Add additional field data within the product narrative description. This data will appear on the screen as if it is in a separate field, but is really just part of the narrative memo field. This Merchant version 2.22 or 3.x module handles the parsing so that the customer only sees the data in the appropriate places.

No modification to the products database structure is required. No additional databases are required to support this additional data. The additional data is added into product records just as any other product data, through admin or via flat file import. This provides easier code maintainability and faster data access. Since the data is stored within the product narrative description field, that data is immediately available to the standard Merchant search function with no code modification. This is the simplest way to display additional data in the product and category screens as if it is in separate fields instead of just narrative data. By doing this, the data stands out as name - value pairs, eg Author: Hemmingway.

An added benefit is that you can have within your store products with different types of additional field data. Some products might need additional fields such as author, publisher, and date while other products might need fields such as composer, vocalist, and country of origin. This software product is an example of such a situation. Most of the products in my store are movie posters and contain additional fields related to them. That field data is stored in separate fields and maintained via prodmore (module for importing additional field data into separate fields). While this product record contains those same additional fields (naturally they are empty), I have added four fields via Flexible Product Description, which only appear in this product record. You can see them as Merchant Version, User Interface, CIM Tool Kit, Combo and New Image in the CTGY and PROD screens. In a Merchant 3.0 store, they can also appear in expanded product display screens for SRCH and PLST. I've also added the New Image field to some of the new product records to demonstrate the flexibility this feature provides. You can see the search box on the store front which lists new products by month.

New in the compiled version is compatibility interface with the OpenUI Tokens and Viking Coders product template module. Place the additional field data on the product page so that they better fit your desired look. Pseudo-fields, brief and keyword, can be used by Static Catalog Generator to improve search engine ranking for both the static html and dynamic Miva Merchant pages. See the install notes for details.

20 Extra Screens netBlazon / Miva Central

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.
