New Features & Improvements

Product Notification Module API Improvements Additional Module APIs have been added to allow other modules to be notified when product-related actions occur including: Product Custom Fields values are changed Attributes or Options are changed Related Products are assigned or unassigned Inventory Changes for a product A product is assigned or unassigned from a price group or price group settings are updated Time-based price group events (a scheduled price group) A new variant is added/update/deleted, or all variants are generated or deleted for a product An image for a product is added/updated or deleted A product is assigned or unassigned from a category or the category is deleted A product's URI is changed

New Product Data Fields and Feeds Module This brand-new feed module ties into the new notification APIs listed above and regenerates the feed template for each product as change happens. This allows for far greater performance when generating the final feed, which is done in a few seconds, rather than hours. Example use cases include: Generation of very large bulk product feeds for 3rd party search providers such as Searchspring Pre-Generation and Caching of Google Structured Product Data Features Include: Queuing of updated products for regeneration of template JSON API Function to mark a product as modified Page Template generation of output with optimal loading of inventory, sale price, predict discounts and custom fields A Scheduled Task to process queue Integration with Miva Feed system to write feed file to server

Searchspring Live Indexing & Live Pricing This new integration with Searchspring’s Live Indexing and Live Pricing APIs pushes up product changes in real time to ensure Searchspring has the latest pricing and inventory data. This integration also reduces the reliance on a bulk data feed as changes are pushed up to Searchspring throughout the day Features Include: A Queue for product updates that are processed by a scheduled task Manual button to force delete the queued products Support for Live Indexing Delete operations Template-level functions for adding products to the queue JSON API function to load pricing and inventory for a list of products

JSON API Updates ProductVariant_Insert and ProductVariant_Update have been updated to make them more flexible New JSON API function that is part of the Product Data Fields and Feeds module for ProductModified to mark a product as modified New JSON API function that is part of the Searchspring Live Indexing Module for PricingAndInventory to get the sales price and inventory counts for an array of products All insert/create functions now always return the newly created record in its response. This impacts the following functions: AttributeTemplateAttribute_Insert AttributeTemplateOption_Insert AttributeTemplate_Insert Attribute_Insert AvailabilityGroup_Insert BusinessAccount_Insert CategoryURI_Insert CustomerAddress_Insert CustomerCreditHistory_Insert FeedURI_Insert Note_Insert Option_Insert PageURI_Insert Product_Insert ProductImage_Add ProductURI_Insert URI_Insert Coupon_Insert PriceGroup_Insert PrintQueueJob_Insert ProductVariant_Insert SubscriptionAndOrderItem_Add

Miva Admin Batch List Optimizations for Extremely Large Data Sets Improvements to the way we retrieve custom field values when there are more than 100,000 products that need to be sorted A new user setting to prevent saving list sort when a search is applied Sort Column is now saved as part of a Saved Search User preferences now are not saved until at least one record load has completed, preventing saving a user preference that could cause a timeout
