Yes, let's build a statue to Darren for inventing the concept of
"Confirm before deletion".

This is hardly a case of 'absorbing' Darren's hard work. More a case
of 'Miva finally did what they should have done long ago'.

Address 2 in MM5?



Actually, with all due respect, this is a feature many asked for for
years and Burch was hounded at the conference by everyone for it to be
in there. It needed to be in there either way.

I agree this is a small feature to point out, but as I used the
Merchant 5 demo store I could not believe how much Merchant 5
operated like OpenUI and OpenDesigner. I agree with you that Miva
should have done this years ago, but Darren did it first. He put in
the features that we all knew Miva Merchant should have had a long
time ago.

I have come to grips with the fact that OpenUI and OpenDesigner are
gone, but I just feel Darren needs some credit for his work. So I
raise a glass and toast to Darren, OpenUI, OpenDesigner and all of
the OpenUI community.

Address 2 in MM5?



You have got to be kidding. It's like politics where people talk about
what they hear instead of what they know.

Without all the hard work that the folks at Miva Corp did, Darren would
never have been able to use the Miva Merchant source code to make OpenUI
in the first place.

Huh?

OpenUI was originally just a copy of Miva Corp's source code. The only
difference being hook points and variable name changes. Yeah, it was
cool and helpful, but even back then Miva Corp had the foundation for
the template customization system Merchant 5 advertises. Implementation
of that system just took longer than I expected.

I have to laugh when I see messages like "Miva Merchant 5 is taking
Darren's ideas."

Darren is no angel when it comes to taking other people's ideas. As
time went on, he rendered a whole pile of popular modules useless by
integrating their functionality into OpenUI (something he repeatedly
said he would not do).

There's a good chance that many of the "ideas" Merchant 5 is "absorbing"
are originally from 3rd party modules that were absorbed into OpenUI in
the first place.

Dear Scot,

Technically the Open UI was an idea I had and worked briefly on the idea
with Jeff Huber. This back when Jeff and I still worked at Miva together.
This was during the transition from Version 1.XX to 2.XX. I then gave the
idea over to Darren at a restaurant near where I used to live in San Diego
when Darren came out to visit. At the same dinner is where the name
actually was thought up.

Thank you,

That is a cool piece of history... Did you bring the idea to Miva?
If so, why did they not grab onto the idea way back in version 1.x?

Sorry about this, I did not mean to start a world war here. I am new
to the list, over from the OpenUI forum, and I was just trying to
give a final goodbye to Darren and the crew before starting on a new
endeavor with Merchant 5.

At this rate, I should have myself kicked of this list in a week :)

I think we can consider the topic closed.

Address 2 in MM5?



Dear Dan,

I brought the idea of Address Line 2 to Miva way before that...you see
how far that went. Back then Joe Austin had a set idea of how and what he
wanted Miva Merchant to do. If it was not in Joe's 5 year plan it was real
hard to get it considered. I also asked for MySQL back in the Version 2.XX
days....well...hmmm....we know how that turned out as well.

The Template UI was originally going to be in Version 4.XX somewhere
along the line from what I understand. For reasons unknown it was never put
in until the release of Version 5.XX.

Thank you,

Nerd Boy

I have heard so many people screaming for such simple features to be
put into Miva Merchant over the years...it amazes me that they did
not listen.

I hope with the release of Merchant 5 and the new staff members that
things change with Miva and they start listening to the store owners/
developers needs. But, the entire release process of Merchant 5 left
a bad taste in my mouth. No disclosure agreements and complete
secrecy make it real hard to plan your online stores future. And
though I think Merchant 5 is a huge improvement, I do not think it
was worth all the silence.

My two cents....

Address 2 in MM5?



In working for a software company, we built third party software for
Autodesk (makers of AutoCAD). Autodesk worked with third party developers
on an ongoing basis, and welcomed them - much in the way Miva does. We
patented, trademarked, & registered each product. We had a staff lawyer to
do such a thing.

When we earned the respect from Autodesk as our software sales matured, they
had no choice but to buy us out for 90 million dollars, back in 2001.

I see lots of groveling for power on the list, and remember a few weeks ago
someone suggested patenting your software for protection.

http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet...&siteID=123112

This is the way responsible people do things - respecting each others work
and honoring it. Not taking each other for granted or mudslinging.

Address 2 in MM5?



Will

This is a MM5 issue

I think I am like most and use the autofill on forms, where every single one
has address line 2 option. The problem here is when people people fill in
the autoform say like Google, address line2 is an option and its used, how
many users actually fill in forms on every page, if there is an autofil they
will use it. We have a housename which is used as line one

UK format is quite often

Housename
Street
Town / City
Postcode

Google drops in line 1 and totally misses Line 2 . This is usually the
Street. (which is what I suppose most people are talking about) It really is
a very valid point and on the face of it, a stupid thing to leave out of the
standard format. WHen MM1 - 4 where releases autofil was not rally a big
issue, now its an everyday issue on an e-commerce site.

I would say that we have to call customers quite often for missing details,
they all say they have never had aproblem before. :) Buyers eh!

Bill

Address 2 in MM5?



Bill, yes the initial topic is a MM5 issue. I was referring to where the
thread went after that.

Should OUI be allowed in MM5, was Miva hard on Darren, who deserves the
credit, blah blah blah IS NOT a Merchant 5 issue. It is a dead issue and it
should stay between Miva and Darren now (or their attorneys).

There will be no OUI in MIVA Merchant 5 and that is the end of the story.
If you don't want to lose your OUI then just don't upgrade to MIVA Merchant
5. All pre-existing Merchant 4 installs will continue to be supported by us
hosts and by Miva.

Now about that new upcoming Address 2 line.......

Will

This is a MM5 issue

I think I am like most and use the autofill on forms, where every single one
has address line 2 option. The problem here is when people people fill in
the autoform say like Google, address line2 is an option and its used, how
many users actually fill in forms on every page, if there is an autofil they
will use it. We have a housename which is used as line one

UK format is quite often

Housename
Street
Town / City
Postcode

Google drops in line 1 and totally misses Line 2 . This is usually the
Street. (which is what I suppose most people are talking about) It really is
a very valid point and on the face of it, a stupid thing to leave out of the
standard format. WHen MM1 - 4 where releases autofil was not rally a big
issue, now its an everyday issue on an e-commerce site.

I would say that we have to call customers quite often for missing details,
they all say they have never had aproblem before. :) Buyers eh!

Bill

Address 2 in MM5?



As for the Address 2 as Miva stated the feature request has been sent to
development. Miva has been taking these requests seriously. I know that a
few of my requests have already been added in Merchant 5. <MvApplause> I
think things are different now since they have the ability to make updates
easily via the new update wizard. So don't be suprised when that Address 2
field miraculously shows up in a future update.

Wil was talking about the OpenUI/Darren offshoot of this discussion, I
believe, not the Address2 discussion. I doubt Wil disagrees with you about
Address 2. Seems nobody disagrees on the issue, except Miva, I guess.
