Hi, Prior to MIVA 10 I could easily sort products by their code. I cant seem to locate the same capability in MIVA 10 without manually doing the sort. Can someone please point me in the right direction? Thanks, Bonnie

Replacing the Sebenza Product Template Manager Attribute Quantity layout
The Sebenza Product Template Manager did not have any warning that it needed to be replaced (similar to the warning that the Sebenza Category Template Manager did) but it has indeed broken during the update.
The first sign that something is amiss is the Runtime error emblazoned across the top of the screen
That, in turn, breaks the layout within the header and footer. It seems to make both display at 100% of the navbar content. The vital portion of the page is still there and works perfectly but I seriously doubt a customer is going to even get past the runtime error message to want to scroll down the screen.
This brings me to a very urgent question, has anyone successfully replaced the Attribute Quantity ordering ability for the PROD Page?

Somebody else out there has to be doing something similar to this using native coding.

Domain Backup to TAR file
I just backed up my domain through Data Management and downloaded the script and data .TAR files to my local computer. Is there any other file I should download to my computer from my website? I wasn't sure if there is a cumulative file taking up space on the server that I could save on my computer to free up space on the server. I know with every update the website is backed up. I just don't know where to look or what file to look for to have it on another computer for safekeeping.

Coupons Admin Page Needs Column that shows Assigned Price Group
The coupon admin page needs a column that shows the assigned price group for that coupon. I have no idea why that's not there.
I guess I have to custom program a page or feed or something that will get me this info. Wouldn't it be nice to just have that there?
Am I missing something obvious?

Testing for Category Header/Footer content
I need a way to test for Category Header (or Footer) content and if the field is empty display alternate content. I thought I had figured it out but of course not
What am I doing wrong?
Code:
<mvt:if expr="ISNULL l.settings:customfield_names:cmp_cssui_pchdft:header"> <p class="tableheader" style="margin-left:10px;">&mvt:category:name;</p> <mvt:else> <div class="ctgy-header"> <mvt:item name="prod_ctgy_hdft" param="ctgy_header" /> </div> </mvt:if>

Self-Hosted nginx server - upgrading MivaVM from 5.33 to 5.34
I've been having trouble upgrading our self-hosted nginx/centOS7/FastCGI site from mivavm 5.33 to 5.34. I followed the same process that usually works for me when doing a vm update, but I'm getting the error "Configuration Error: Error loading configuration library: Unable to locate/load libmivaconfig.so: Please contact the server administrator: webmaster@localhost"
I also tried loading diagtool.mvc and a simple hello world mvc, and both give the same error. The libmivacofig.so file is copied from the 5.34 tar.gz file that I downloaded from Miva: https://www.miva.com/support/downloads

FWIW, here is my old thread on getting this server set up a while ago, on engine 5.31 at the time: https://www.miva.com/forums/forum/on...iguration-file
Anyone have any idea what the trouble might be?
I also tried loading diagtool.mvc and a simple hello world mvc, and both give the same error. The libmivacofig.so file is copied from the 5.34 tar.gz file that I downloaded from Miva: https://www.miva.com/support/downloads
My upgrade process is:
- get the CentOS 7 FastCGI file: https://www.miva.com/miva-software/e...os7_x64.tar.gz
- unpack in cgi-bin
- copy the new mivavm to cgi-bin (do not overwrite current file yet):
- cp ./mivavm-v5.34/bin/mivavm_fastcgi-v5.34 ./mivavm-v5.34.vm
- copy the 3x.so file to cgi-bin as the new libmivaconfig.so (do not overwrite current file yet):
- cp ./mivavm-v5.34/lib/config/3x.so ./libmivaconfig.so-v5.34
- make a copy of the current mivavm.conf file (we'll edit this copy so it reflects the new vm):
- cp mivavm.conf mivavm.conf.v5.34
- now edit mivavm.conf.v5.34 so all the references to 5.33 are changed to 5.34
- copy permissions from current files/folders to new ones:
- chmod -R --reference=mivavm-v5.33 mivavm-v5.34
- chmod --reference=mivavm mivavm-v5.34.vm
- chmod --reference=./libmivaconfig.so ./libmivaconfig.so-v5.34
- chmod --reference=./mivavm.conf ./mivavm.conf.v5.34
- backup all current files
- replace current files with new ones:
- mv mivavm.conf.v5.34 mivavm.conf
- mv libmivaconfig.so-v5.34 libmivaconfig.so
- mv mivavm-v5.34.vm mivavm
- kill the current mivavm process and restart it:
- sudo kill -9 $(pidof mivavm)
- sudo /sbin/runuser -l content -c '/usr/bin/spawn-fcgi -p 8005 -n -- /var/www/sites/example.com/cgi-bin/mivavm &'

Hiding Runtime Error Message
I'm in the process of trying to convert a very necessary function that the Sebenza Product Template Manager provides. Currently, it's throwing a Runtime error message at the very beginning of the page which seems to be breaking the rest of the page. I played around with the code, removed the message, and the page displayed properly (at least in my HTML page test). That now begs the question - is there a way to hide or remove the Runtime Error message so it doesn't get displayed? I know there is an issue, the rest of the world doesn't need to know and it would appear that removing the message fixes the layout issues it is causing which is from a javascript error:
I'm just needing a work around until the template can be rebuilt.
Code:
scripts.js:2 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'value' of null
at Object.jsPROD (scripts.js:2)
at scripts.js:1
at Object.init (scripts.js:1)
at scripts.js:6

Help with Breadcrumb Array
On the last step of removing Sebenza Product Template manager and making some final tweaks.
I had this in my old product pages and it isn't working now in the alternate display pages. I do have "breadcrumbs" assigned to the page. Wasn't sure if I was missing another item that needed to be assigned or the array needs to be corrected now that I don't use that module.
Category:
<mvt:foreach iterator="crumb" array="breadcrumb">
<a href="&mvt:global:sessionurl;Screen=CTGY&Category_ Code=&mvt:crumb:code;">&mvt:crumb:name;</a> >
</mvt:foreach>

Is it possible to edit an external php script within the Miva admin?
We're using a php script as our form processor. We're needing to make some changes to the script and to the forms across our 20 or so stores. I'm trying to figure out a good workflow to allow a remote developer to make the changes for us. I've done all of the edits to the form fields and to some CSS within the Miva admin, but I had to make the changes to the php processor locally and upload it to the server. Is there any way to edit the php file within the admin?

Sebenza Category Tree Replacement
Website was upgraded to MIVA 10 & we were aware that the navigation would disappear because Sebenza Category Tree no longer works. What are the options for replacements that everyone has been going with?
A new framework won't work for this website as the business has been downsized a lot & can't currently cover a website overhaul.
I am even ok with just manually adding in the navigation links since there are only 20 categories left active, but if I update the CTGY page, nothing shows up, so I am not sure if that is the right page for updating the left navigation.
Any other ideas as to what others have done?

Price Groups > Exclude Categories/Products > Optional Hide
I know this can be coded but more and more code piled in those pages. I was thinking it might be useful to others also so suggestion is to add a simple checkbox to 'hide category/product if excluded' to price groups (might be useful in availability groups or business groups as well).
As an example we have some products aimed at specific vendors ie Public Storage and Extra Space Storage. There are several products only of interest to them individually - ie each company has specific allowed paint colors and locks and they have different pricing but we have all these irrelevant categories visible to all of them. Of course they can just not click on the other categories but it would be cool if you could set the 'exclude categories' or products for a specific price group and optionally toggle to 'hide excluded categories?'
To illustrate if Life Storage came to our site the only subcategories in Touch-Up Paint that they would be interested in are highlighted in yellow. Similarly we have other customers that only allow contractors to use a subset of products. In some cases we may want to allow them to see everything as they may add new products but they will never buy another vendor's paint for example. Also some companies only allow certain types of locks at their facility for example but it can be confusing when one of the location managers comes to the store and there are 20 types of similar locks side-by-side but they are only allowed to use 5 specific ones. If they log in as a member of that companies business group then would be cool to just hide the categories or specific items they aren't allowed to buy.
Just putting the idea out there.

I'm not sure if this is missing or I simply can't find it but we used to have a link in the admin on the product screen to "View on Store" or something like that, that would open a new browser window and take you to that product on the live store. Is that gone or moved?

Question about "Export Orders to Flat File"
I'm trying to find out what values are in the PROCESSED column when exporting orders to a flat file.
The column headers are:
ORDER_ID PROCESSED ORDER_DATE ORDER_TIME SHIP_FNAME SHIP_LNAME...
Even looking exports from a few different stores, PROCESSED is always empty, and I can't find it in the documentation.
Thanks to anyone that has this answer :)

Printable Invoice Page Breaks
When we print an entire batch of 'printable invoices' the page breaks are difficult.
If a second page is needed it prints at the top of the next order without starting a new page for the next order. It will right itself again if there is a short order and start new with the next - so there is some page break - but not as needed.
Please let me know how/where I can make this start a new page for each new order - even if just 1 line on page 2 (or 3 or).
Thanks, David

When does the Mailchimp module upload email addresses?
Long story short, Mailchimp just dinged me for trying to send a newsletter to suspect addresses and stopped the newsletter from going out to all new subscribers added since a specific date in the second half of December.
I looked at the addresses they flagged and found something suspicious. In late December, I had a huge number of baskets created by a Google bot that was checking pricing for Merchant Center. (At least that's my assumption based on articles I have read about this...) There were about 20 different email addresses on these baskets that were variants of a person's first and last name with a number appended to the end and @gmail.com. None of these baskets resulted in a sale. They were all abandoned.
These addresses were in the Mailchimp report and, I believe, were what caused Mailchimp to flag my new newsletter subscribers. Almost all other new subscribers were clearly valid.
One of two things happened. Either the bot created baskets AND found my newsletter signup page and used the same addresses to complete those fields. Or the Mailchimp module pushed up data off the baskets before the orders were finalized. (I do not use Mailchimp for abandoned cart emails.)
Can anyone clarify when during the checkout process the module syncs data up to Mailchimp?

Need developer to create clone site without Subenza and convert current framework
Our current website is outdated and we need to remove the Subenza Category Template Manager before we are able to update our software to Miva 10. We are worried removing Subenza will alter the look of the website, so we are searching for a developer to create a clone site without Subenza to test what the site will look like.
Additionally, we are looking to convert our current website framework. We are currently using the Miva Merchant Look & Feel ("MMUI") framework and would like to change it to the current CSSUI framework.
We are looking for a developer to help us with these tasks. If you are interested PM me or contact greatskinresults@gmail.com.
