Miva Merchant Production Release 8 Public Beta

Re: Miva Merchant Production Release 8 Public Beta

No we don't make any page template changes. However if you've already upgraded to PR7 Update 10, I don't believe you can get on the beta any longer. If I recall you must join the beta from PR7 Update 9.

We're using PR 7 Update 10 but I have this in my Updates Available window: pr8-beta-1 Miva Merchant 5.5 PR8 Beta 1

Will this give me what I need to be able to control my delimiter?

Re: Miva Merchant Production Release 8 Public Beta

Yes you can see PR8 but if you try and run it from PR7 Update 10 it'll try and install but fail (it won't hurt anything).

Yes it would've given you delimiter control. If you're in a time crunch, I can get you an alternate method to do that on Monday, email me.

Is there somewhere that has all the required edits that need to be made to a CSSUI store that have been "switched" to the PR8 beta? I'm late to the party and know that I'm missing a few tweaks.

Is it possible to change the action from click to hover when moving the mouse over the product thumbnails? I would imagine clicking works better to use with the attribute drop down image swap? Just curious client is asking to change from click to hover.

Thanks,
Jon

Re: Miva Merchant Production Release 8 Public Beta

I'm not really sure, I'll see if anyone on our side has played with that.

Hey Jon -

All the built in functionality is built upon on click events. I know you have the ability to overwrite the built in on click events but I'm not sure you can change it to on hover short of writing your own functions. I'll check with dev.

Re: Miva Merchant Production Release 8 Public Beta

Can the "additional images" be accessed through Store Morph so that they can be coded manually (bypassing the image machine)?

[Rick Wilson]

Re: Miva Merchant Production Release 8 Public Beta

NPR,

You can access them with Storemorph.

Re: Miva Merchant Production Release 8 Public Beta

I'm still trying to do this and I am wondering if perhaps I wasn't clear enough about what I am trying to do and perhaps it's not possible.

I use the ultimate feed generator module to export products to an xml file. With the new features of PR8 I no longer have a thumbnail image to export.

Could someone just let me know on this since I am now assuming it's not possible? I may need to look for a different solution or go back to not using this cool new PR8 feature.

I also never got an answer on whether or not template changes needed to be made with bugs that were fixed?

Re: Miva Merchant Production Release 8 Public Beta

Mark,

I'm not clear on what you're asking. Also no template changes have been needed since the Beta 1.

If you can email me a description on your issue, I'll check with Dev (and then we can post here for posterity).

Require Shipping Option: Long standing problem.

When the Require Shipping option is checked. It ocasionally happens that the "dynamic" shipping modules don't return a shipping option.

When this happens, Merchant gives up and presents the Grey Screen of Death.
Error Code: MER-SUI-CSSUI-00002
Description: Shipping Selection is required and no shipping methods were found. Please contact the administrator directly


For example an international customer enters a shipping addres that the configured shipping modules (UPS USPS FEDEX) can't figure out, so they return no options.

This has been goining on for a long time and I got another call from a client this morning.

For the Order Minimums not met error, there is a template (OMIN) to act as the landing page and present an error message. Same goes for Order Already Procesed (OPRC) Can't you do the same for Shipping Requirements not met? (OSHP).

Even better would be a singe template to handle all of these kinds of exceptions (OERR), but I'd be happy with and OSHP page.

To easily duplicate the problem, de-activate all shipping and set up Qty Based shipping with one option floor=2, ceil=3. Add 1 item to the basket and checkout.

Re: Miva Merchant Production Release 8 Public Beta

More Information: This should be a simple fix.

In cssui.mv change this line

<MvELSEIF EXPR = "{ l.code EQ 'no_shipping_methods' }">
    <MvFUNCTIONRETURN VALUE = "{ [ g.Module_Library_Utilities ].Error( 'MER-SUI-CSSUI-00002', 'Shipping Selection is required and no shipping methods were found.  Please contact the administrator directly.' ) }">

to this

<MvELSEIF EXPR = "{ l.code EQ 'no_shipping_methods' }">
    <MvEVAL EXPR = "{ [ g.Module_Library_Utilities ].Message_Error( 'Shipping Selection is required and no shipping methods were found. Please contact the store owner.' ) }">
    <MvFUNCTIONRETURN VALUE = "{ [ g.Module_Feature_TUI_MGR ].TemplateManager_Render_Page( 'OSHP' ) }">
