Instructions
Installation instrucitons may be found in the readme.txt included in the distribution package. After registering your license key, you can either use the "Product File Name Pattern" and upload the product files quickly with an FTP program, or you can upload individual product files through the "File Attachments" interface in the Product Details (Admin » Stores » 'your store' » Products » 'product xyz' » Email Attachments). You can combine both methods, fo course too - i.e. using the pattern for file names matching the product code (or another token or expression), and uploading individual files that do not match the pattern, through the Product Details.
You can use the module to attach the same file with every order (i.e. the license agreement) - in the MmATTACH » softgoods settings, put the file name instead of a variable/token expression into the "Product File Name Pattern".
We recommend using files of maximally up to several hundreds of kilobytes. Emailing huge files could cause serious delays during the checkout and common mailboxes are often limited in size and may refuse huge attachments. We also recommend avoiding executable files (*.exe, *.js, *.com,...) - many email clients and antivirus programs are set to block them. Use zipped archives instead.

The ultimate Miva Merchant autoresponder module - send specialized emails at the completion of the order. These emails are in addition to or in place of the standard emails which are sent at order completion, e.g. merchant notification, customer confirmation, vendor specific notification, and even cell phone emails. It also can send welcome emails when a new customer account is created. This module is for MIVA Merchant 5.x. We also have the corresponding module for an older version of Merchant.
Features: - Autoresponder - specialized emails at the completion of the order - Merchant notification and customer confirmation - Vendor and product specific templates - Can limit sending based on a specific attribute/option code for a product - Include coupons or promo codes when specific products ordered - Optionally require an input to allow the email, e.g. a response from Addendum - Easy to use checkbox configuration of vertical or horizontal layout emails - Highly configurable free form template layout emails with embedded tokens - HTML or text email formatting - Archive flat file is created for each template, easily track sales activity - Mail Manager Report module can display the flat file contents by time period or product - Ship to, bill to and other email addresses for each template - Send emails to your company's internal departments, e.g. shipping - Emails to web enabled cell phones as abbreviated messages - Open architecture so that other events can also trigger an automated response - Can resend emails when the customer knows and enters their order number and email address - Use render token to send an email from any pagein the store - Send a welcome email before the order completes and optionally include a promo code, customer login and password - Include 3rd party data with module tokens, e.g. Addendum responses - Display shipping and payment invoice messages - Create packing slip and label emails - Ship to country address formatted according to the applicable country's postal recommendations - Restrict email to a specified order dollar value range, reward big spending customers with a coupon - Restrict email to a specified list of countries, thus allowing for language specific emails
Feature Details. In admin, you create one or more template emails. Eachtemplate can be different, i.e. what it displays, how the data is oriented on the screen/paper, and what product(s) triggers the autoresponder. Most responses are triggered by the product codes purchased. Some example uses:
Email to any of your drop-ship manufacturers listing the Ship To address and the products to be shipped if using real time creditcard authorization. The module will sort out which drop shippergets which emails, including listing the products to be shipped. Unlike some other vendors' drop ship notification modules, this one only includesthe products belonging to the associated drop shipper. Thus a drop shipper doesnot see the products being supplied to the customer by other drop shippers when the order contains multiple product sources. Youcan still use the module if you are not using real time authorization, but you would send the email to your pending mailbox until manual processingverified the charge, then forward to the drop shipper. This would savehand entering the order. In addition to the email, an archive flatfile is created which you can use to easily track sales activity related to each of your drop-ship manufacturers.
Email to Ship To or Bill To or both thanking them for a donation to your sponsored charity on your site.
Email to your shipping department listing Ship To addressand products ordered if using real time credit card authorization. Products section can be cut/folded to result in a shipping label with your company address included. If notusing real time authorization, use the pending mailbox technique similarto the drop shipper scenario above.
Email a promo coupon code if a customer purchases a specificproduct or from a list of products
Email service, warranty, shipping and contact information on specific products or product lines
Send an email to your cell phone's inbox when orders are placed in your store (requires a cell phone plan that assigns an email address to your phone).
You own a mall with multiple stores within the mall. Thosestore owners rent the stores from you for a percentage of their gross. Use mail manager as an audit tool to track theirsales. In addition to the autoresponse email, mail manager produces a flat file with order ID, date, product name, product code, quantity, price for each, and price extended. Periodically retrieve that flat file and import into a spreadsheetfor easy analysis.
The included Mail Manager Report module can display the contents of that flat file through admin. It can filter the report by specific timeperiods (daily, weekly, monthly) within reason. The limits of your PC or server may prevent very lengthy reports for excessively long time periods. It can also limit the report to only one product code. Since the templates canbe designed for each vendor, you can create individual vendor flat files with a corresponding report for each vendor.
Literally, you can have a different autoresponder for everyproduct in your store.
However, Mail Manager has a somewhat open architecture sothat other events can also trigger an automated response. For example:
Send a welcome email before the order completes, but afterthe customer completes the registration process (for those thatcreate an account)
Send a thank you for rating a product (using our Rate This system)along with a coupon code for taking the time to do so
You can use the ifvar script or var token in these "other event" emails. For example, generate a unique coupon code with a module token and insert it in the welcome email to give the new customer an incentive to buy now.
Use a render token to send an email from any page in the store. For example, put it on the product page to send a specific email when a specific product's page is viewed by a customer who is logged in. The email goes to their password recovery address (but could be bill to or ship to address). If you want it sent to a hard coded address, e.g. yours to monitor traffic,you would put your email address in the 3rd parameter of the token. The uses of this feature are endless. Send a coupon to entice customers to buy when they visit specific product screens. Tell them about other products related to the one they just viewed.
As you can see, the uses of this Mail Manager are quite diverse. Some of the variable features configured through admin for each template are:
Show or hide any of the data elements
Orient your email either horizontally or vertically
There is also a free form template using an extensive list of tokens and mini-scripts to customize the emails that are sent at the time of order completion. They can vary from mimics of the standard merchant notification and customer confirmation emails to brief order notifications for better acceptance within cell phone emails. The emails can be plain text or HTML formattedemails for better readability. You can change the fonts, colors,layout and even add images to your confirmation and notificationemails. If your shipping and payment modules are configured withinvoice notices, these can be included in the emails with a token. You can include data from other 3rd party modules, like Addendum, by using tokens. You can also create packing slip and label emails with the "ship to" country address formatted according to the applicable country's postal recommendations when using the HTML template. In the free form template you canalso set the time so that it can be offset from the server time,thus display for a different time zone in each of your emails.
Customize your email and store's physical address
Designate email recipient, i.e. Ship To and/or Bill To and/or fixed email address
List full or partial Ship To and/or Bill To address
Restrict email to a specified order dollar value range, reward big spending customers with a coupon for their next visit
Restrict email to a specified list of countries, thus allowing for language specific emails
Resend order emails if the customer knows and enters the order number and email which match the actual order. The form for these two data elements can be placed anywhere you can edit the store user interface, e.g. headers, footers, welcome screen.
You can specify the product code and an attribute/option value that must also be met before the email will be sent. This is particularly useful when the emails are used for vendor notification. A certain product might bedrop shipped by two different vendors and the only difference is the selected attribute/option value.
Insert a "require" token that has to be met before the email will be allowed. As example,have a checkbox using Addendum to ask a customer if they want to be added to a list server (mailing list). Then if they check the box, the "yes" response is sent to Mail Manager. The Mail Manager can then generate a specifically formatted email to activate an email address at your list server, if you have one.
Write a different body for each of the email templates you add
List products and prices or just the products without prices
Link the email usage to one or more product codes or entire inventory with wildcard
No need to go to each product to link the email, a copy and paste froma flat text file will add hundreds instantly
I'd be surprised if you find that this capability exists anywhere in any mid-priced shopping cart system. Autoresponders that fill in the blanks are one thing, but this is a store owner, pre-planned autoresponse for a specific product. Within your store, you could have dozens of different responses (individual or grouped) or a wildcard response for all of the products. You can use itto make connections not directly related to sales, yetlinked to a specific sale.
Customer buys a kayak from your store. Tell them about the kayak camp 20 miles from your store and give them the 800number of the guy with the info about a big get together next month.
Customer buys an orchid from you which would lead you to believe he/she may have a specific variety you have been looking for. You autorespond with your want list for your nursery inhopes of finding the needle in a haystack.
As you can see, this list could be endless. Targetted, intelligent autoresponders are designed to increase your store'sbusiness and decrease the amount of time employees spend on sendingout product specific, emails.
The pre-formed templates are easy to configure and do not require programming experience. For the more experienced, you also have the option of using tokens and mini-scripts in free form templates. An example free form template is included with the install documents.

The Order Fulfillment Kit provides HTML customer invoices with file attachments for soft goods deliveries, custom generated license keys for software or other electronically distributed products, and an XML notification system for transmitting order data (and license keys) instantly to external locations or license servers.
The Order Fulfillment Kit helps storeowners automate the fulfillment processes. For the retailer of electronically distributed products or other products that require an on-demand license key, this module gives you the ability to provide (random or custom generated) license keys to your customer immediately upon the purchase of a downloadable product. Additionally, soft-goods products can be immediately sent to customers as file attachments of their HTML invoice, and the generated license keys can be transmitted to external license servers via XML. For the retailer of hard goods that must be packaged and shipped to the customer, this module turns a completed Miva Merchant invoice into an XML message and sends that message to a designated CGI application on an external web server allowing the order information to be immediately catalogued in a database for order fulfillment. Additionally, retailers can use this information for customer retention campaigns, historical data collection and data mining.
Key Benefits:
HTML email invoice with file attachments
Fully customizable HTML template for your customer order fulfillment email
Soft goods can be attached* to the order invoice or sent as individual emails
Email template uses the same DynamicTemplate Engine used in other CBS products
License Key Generator with API
Creates keys immediately upon the payment of an order
Provides an API for custom licensing key generation
Example random key generator (with source) included
Keys can be listed in the email invoice underneath each product that requires a key
Keys can be sent separately to the customer in a second email
Order detail notification via XML message
XML order details sent to any CGI application on external web server
Entire invoice can be sent as an XML message to an external server
Or optionally, only those products with license information are sent as an XML message to an external server
Fail-safe XML notification: In the event the external server cannot accept an XML message at time of sending (i.e. server is down) or the server rejects the XML message, a “fallback” email is sent to a designated employee with the XML and reason for failure.
*Note: Recommended maximum total email attachment size is approximately 500kB.
Sales, support and other inquiries between you and your customers are seemlessly integrated into your MIVA Merchant store. This module is for MIVA Merchant 5.x. We also have the corresponding module for an older version of Merchant.
Features: <- Easily integrate customer contact and inquiries - Collect typical name, email, subject and inquiry - Collect unlimited extra required and/or non-required fields - Hide your store's email addresses from spammer email address harvesters - Change the email address you want inquiries to go to through the admin panel - Launch the Contact Manager from Merchant or from a static page - Use a form or link to launch the Contact Manager - Assign the contact record to a specific technician or department with ease - Customer can select the target to send the inquiry to with a select list option - Contact is logged and is not effected when email servers are down - User interface is easily customized, even by html novices, from the module's admin configuration screen - Use store morph technologoy to fully customize the form - Department codes, descriptions and email addresses are configured through admin - Admin section allows you to search one or more criteria to find messages - Edit the status and/or respond to the sender - Can send autoresponse email to customer so they know you received their inquiry - Includes a contact tracking number in the email subject
Feature Details. Protect your email addresses. This module keeps yourstore's email address out of view of spammer email address harvesters. It also allows you to easily change the email address you want inquiries to go to without editing html pages.
Easy link to the contact form. You can launch the Contact Manager form from a button in the category column, in the nav bar or elsewhere within Merchant or from a static page. You can also easily use a http link format for launching the Contact Manager form from static pages or within Merchant.
Assign the inquiry. The Contact Manager allows you to assign the contact record to a specific technician or department with ease. That technician can then find their active contacts easily.
User interface look and feel. The Contact Manager form characteristics are controlled from the module's admin configuration screen. At the admin level you can change category column button text, optional category column button image, email subject, email to address, contact screen title, customer email prompt, customer inquiry prompt, background color, font face, font size, font color, message for the submission form, send button text, and optional send button image. Even for the html novice, the form's characteristics are easily altered in admin. In Merchant 5.x you can go a step farther if you are familiar with the store morph technology (SMT) and page template editing by fully customizing every aspect of the form. With the Merchant 5.x built in SMT you can make changes to the page and even rollback changes if you don't like what you see.
Customer can choose department. The module allows the customer to select the target to send the inquiry to with a select list option. This expedites the delivery to the specific technician/department's email address. As with the uncompiled version, the email addresses are hidden from email harvesting spammers.
Field inclusion and validation. Department codes, descriptions and email addresses are configured through admin. The standard collection fields are name, email, subject, department, and inquiry. However, you can also have an unlimited number of extra fields in the form. These fields can be required or optional. If required and the customer does not provide a response, the form will validate and redisplay so the missing info can be supplied. What extra fields you create and use is dependant on how you will use this contact form; e.g. requests for info, pricing, availability, product details, billing, shipping, or even for customer surveys prior to checkout.
Autoresponse receipt verification. When the customer submits their inquiry, the module can optionally send them an autoresponse that you have received their inquiry and how soon you will get back to them. That autoresponse email is composed and customized by you through the admin panel. You can also include the contact tracking number in the subject of the contact emails and responses, e.g. [EP #925]: How do I.....
Searchable contact records. The admin section allows you to search one one or more criteria to find messages you are interested in. You can then edit the status and/or respond to the sender.
The module currently fully supports the mivasql configuration of MIVA Merchant 5. It also supports MySQL as long as load balancing has the data stored on the single MySQL server. This would be the case in most of the server setups. For those that are not, we are in the process of converting the code for that remaining, very small group of MIVA Merchant stores. At this time we have not had a problem. Modules will be moved to the top of the queue as needed.
Improved navigation in the "Approve Customers" administrative utility module - including a quick link to the most recent customer record.
Choose the way you approve customer accounts - accounts can now be approved using either the standard Customer admin or the "Approve Customers" administrative utility module.
New options for the Merchant Notification and Customer Notification email messages û the inclusion of the Customer billing and shipping fields is now optional.
Details:
The "Hide Prices Pending Customer Approval" module contains a wealth of functionality and customizable options. It's tremendously useful for wholesalers and other store owners that want to limit access to a known, and approved, customer base.
Product Prices Hidden Product prices can be hidden until a customer's account has been approved by the store's owner. Optionally, prices can be hidden until a customer creates or logs-in to an account (without requiring approval of the account).
Buttons Too The product prices û and the "Add To Cart" and the "Buy One Now" buttons û can be hidden on the Product List, Categories, Search Results, and Product Display screens. An optional, fully-customizable message can be displayed in place of the hidden prices.
Two Modules In One The module is actually two modules û a OpenUI system module and an administrative utility Module. The system module customizes the store's look and feel and limits access to prices. The administrative utility module provides the store owner with the ability of reviewing and approving customer accounts. It's also a fully-functional and user friendly customer management utility.
Quick Approval of Customer Accounts The administrative utility module also has a "quick approval" feature. A store's administrator can quickly search for a new customer by login, email address, or other keyword û then approve the customer with one click.
Merchant Notification of New Accounts An optional email notification can be sent to a specified address whenever a new account is created by a customer. The subject and header of the email message are customizable.
Customer Notification of Approved Accounts An optional email notification can be sent to the customer whenever their account is approved. The subject and header of the email message are customizable.
Multiple Levels of Access Restriction The store's owner can select from three different modes.
Hide Prices Pending Approval of Customer account
Hide Price Unless Customer Has Account
Show Prices - (Disables Module)
Customer Messages An optional & customizable Customer Account Pending Approval" message can be displayed just below the Miva Merchant header. An optional & customizable message can also be displayed on the Customer Account & Customer Information screens. This can be used to inform the customer of the store's policy for accessing the product prices.
For example: "Approval of customer account is required. Please complete the customer account form. You will be notified by email when your account is approved."

Feature Details.
This module keeps your store's email address out of view of spammer email address harvesters. It also allows you to easily change the email address you want inquiries to go to without editing html pages. You can launch the contact manager form from a button in the category column or from a static page. You can also use a http link format for launching the support manager form from static pages or within Merchant. The contact manager allows you to assign the contact record to a specific technician or department with ease.
The contact manager form characteristics are controlled from a merchant admin configuration screen. At the admin level you can change category column button text, optional category column button image, email subject, email to address, contact screen title, customer email prompt, customer inquiry prompt, background color, font face, font size, font color, message for the submission form, send button text, and optional send button image.
The customer can select the target/department to send the inquiry to with a select list option. This expedites the delivery to the specific techician/department's email address. As with the uncompiled version, the email addresses are hidden from email harvesting spammers. Department codes, descriptions and email addresses are configured through admin.
The admin section allows you to search one one or more criteria to find messages you are interested in. You can then edit the status and/or respond to the sender.
In the Main admin screen of Merchant 4.x, under Store Notifications, the module provides you with a quick summary of how many messages are Pending. Upon clicking the link for Contact Manager, a popup window displays the subject and message ID of all pending contact messages.
The NetPush Advanced Inventory Module allows Miva Merchant store owners to track inventory within Miva Merchant all the way down to the attribute/option level. The module has numerous configuration settings that should allow the admin to display and track any simple or complex inventory configuration. Inventory levels are only adjusted at checkout time so there is no need to worry about old baskets causing inventory problems. The module comes with an import and export module that allows administrators to easily update inventory levels by using csv files.
We suggest using template modules like Viking Coder's Product Templates and
Category Templates if you want better control of the look and feel of your pages with regards to inventory. This will allow you to use tokens for display. Otherwise, you will have to settle for built in hook point displays that are built into the module and are configurable through the administration area.
The Advanced Inventory Module will send email when stock goes below certain configurable low stock level and can disable products when stock goes below the out of stock level. Administrators can also customize every message shown to the user. Fine grain customizations are made easy because the module allows product level configuration settings the ability to override global inventory configuration settings. This allows Miva Merchant Administrators the ability to customize inventory configurations for every product, if he or she wishes.
Notes:
OpenUI Tokens This module can be used with OUI OpenTokens. To use the module with Viking Coders template modules, see the OpenToken instructions and examples in the documentation on the NetPush.com site.
Product Upsell This module does not show stock information on the product upsell screens at this time. Stock is still tracked in the basket and checkout, but no current stock level is shown on the upsell screens during checkout unless you are using alternatives like tokens in templates.
Basket Redirect and Error Message The user is automatically redirected to the basket screen if he or she adds items to the basket that makes the product go out of stock or if the product is already out of stock. The error message is shown above the basket screen using a hook point in the Open UI. The message is configurable in the admin area.
Checkout Screen Error If configuration is setup to do so, the module will block a user from checking out if their basket has an item that is out of stock. This message is shown automatically at the top of the screen. The message is configurable in the admin area.
Pipes ( | ) Product codes, attribute codes, and option codes must not contain the pipe character. NetPush Advanced Inventory uses the pipe to delimit for lookups. Pipes in your codes will cause the module not to work correctly.
Requirements:
Open UI 4.723+ This module requires that you have OpenUI installed in your store. The module uses hook points in the OpenUI. You must have OpenUI version 4.723 or higher if you plan to use the OpenToken functionality available in this module. Please see the OpenUIsite for information about latest versions and bug fixes.
Miva Empressa 3.96+ This module requires that you have Miva Empressa 3.96 or higher. The module uses functionality that is only available in newer versions of the Empressa Engine. Miva regularly releases new versions of Miva Empressa and the Virtual Machine to add new functionality and fix bugs. If you are on an older version, consider contacting your hosting company. You can find the Miva Empressa version at the top left hand of your Store Administrator when you first login. It should show your Miva Merchant version and your Miva Empressa version.
Miva Merchant 2.x, 3.x, and 4.x This module should work with most versions of Miva Merchant. In order to use the deactivate product option, you must be on version 3.0+. All testing and development was done on versions 4.13+.
Global Configuration Screen
All inventory settings will use the global configuration settings found in the Miva Merchant Administration area under Stores > Your Store > System Extension Configuration > NetPush Advanced Inventory. One may override these settings for products (see product level settings below). Each product must also be manually turned on before tracking starts. See product settings below.
Configuration Settings
Use NetPush Inventory You must set this to "Yes" if you want the module to be turned on. If this is set to "No", the module will not do anything.
Amount considered out of stock Usually this would be 0, but it can be set to any number, including negative numbers. Once the stock level reaches this number, it will be considered out of stock.
Deactivate when product level is out of stock In Miva Merchant versions that support it, the module will turn the Active flag for a product to off, if the product reaches the out of stock level. This only works on the product level, not for the attribute/option level.
Allow purchase even after out of stock Turning this on will allow customers to purchase products even after they go below the out of stock level. This could be a backorder situation.
Automatically remove from basket When a user adds products to the basket, the products will be removed if it makes the inventory go below the out of stock level and the admin is not allowing purchases when products are out of stock. Please take note that this option could cause problems if other modules are installed that also act on the basket.
Send Low Inventory Notices Turn this on to receive email warnings when inventory goes below the low inventory level.
Amount considered low The level that is considered low. Use this setting to trigger emails that will warn you when inventory is hitting a low level.
Low Email To Address Set this to the email address of the person who should be receiving emails when stock is at a low level.
Low Email From Address Set this to the email address that should be set as the from address in low stock emails.
Low Email Subject The subject of the low stock email. This field has token replacement.*
Low Email Body This is the body of the low stock email. This field has token replacement.*
Automatically change stock levels Turn this on if you want the system to subtract stock when a user purchases. If this is set to "No", the system will not update stock levels.
Show out of stock messages Turn this on to show out of stock messages on the product page when stock goes below the out of stock level.
Show in stock messages Turn this on to show how much stock is left on the product page.
Out of Stock Messages*
Product Level This message is shown to the user on the product page below the shipping weight.
Attribute Level - Checkbox This message is shown to the user on the product page next to a checkbox option.
Attribute Level - Radio Buttons This message is shown to the user on the product page next to each radio button option.

Attribute Level - Select Box This message is shown inside of the drop down on a select box. HTML should not be used here.
Other Messages*
Out of Stock - Basket Line Marker This helps the user to see which products have gone out of stock when looking at the basket. A red asterisks may be a good indicator for the user.
Out of Stock - Basket This message is shown to the user above the basket when a product has gone out of stock when adding, updating, or looking at the basket. Products can go out of stock at anytime, even after a user adds it to their basket. This is because stock levels only change after checkout.
Out of Stock - Checkout This message is similar to the out of stock basket message. It is shown on the payment screen during checkout. This should be considered one final inventory check before allowing the user to purchase.
* Token Replacement This module has a few built in tokens for messages that allow you to give yourself and the user more detailed information. Some of the tokens below can only be used on certain screens, or in emails.
%%stock%% - Displays the current stock level. (1,2,3) %%basket_quantity%% - Displays the amount in the basket and is unlikely to be used. (1,2) %%available%% - Displays the amount of stock left before hitting the out of stock level. (1,2,3) %%oos_level%% - Displays the out of stock level. (1,2,3) %%line_items%% - Displays a list of line items that are effected. (1,2) %%product_id%% - Displays the product id. (1,2,3) '%%product_code%% - Displays the product code.

Product Configuration Screen
All inventory settings will use the global configuration settings found in
the Miva Merchant Administration area under Stores > Your Store > System Extension Configuration > NetPush Advanced Inventory. To override these settings at the product level, go to the product in the administration area and click on "NetPush Advanced Inventory". You will see the settings below.
Configuration Settings
Use NP Inventory on this Product You must set this to "Yes" if you want to track inventory on the product. You must manually set this to "Yes" for every product that you want to track. If this is not set to "Yes", no inventory tracking will take place. By default, no product is tracked.
Override Global Settings If this is set to "Yes" the configurations settings will be taken from the individual product screen instead of from the Global configuration settings found under under system extension configuration. If set to "No", the module will use the global settings from above when doing inventory for the product. The default is to use the global settings.

Setting Product Inventory Levels
The administrator can set product inventory levels by going to the product page within the Miva Merchant admin area and clicking on NetPush Advanced Inventory. This is the same screen as the product level configuration. Product inventory levels are shown below the configuration area. To add new inventory, use the yellow add button. To edit inventory, click white add button next to the inventory entry.
The module checks inventory by looking at a unique combination of Product Code, Attribute Code, and Option Code. When entering stock levels, you enter the codes separated by a pipe. For example, shirt1|color|red, where shirt1 is the product code, color is the attribute code, and red is the option code. If you do not set an inventory level for an existing product attribute combination, no tracking is done. Setting a stock level of -9999 has the same effect.
Inventory at a product level You may choose to only track inventory at a product level in combination with or not at an attribute level. To enter a stock level for a product, simply use prodcode||. This tells the system that you are tracking the product code, but not the attributes or options by leaving them blank. Using -9999 for a stock level will temporarily turn inventory tracking off.
Inventory at the attribute level (checkbox, select box, radio buttons) Checkbox - prodcode|attrcode|(the last field should be left blank, as checkboxes have no options) Select Box and Radio Buttons - prodcode|attrcode|optcodeAll 3 are required and must be unique, even if you are using attribute templates. If you are using normal templates in combination with attribute templates, make sure you do not give them duplicate code names.
Using Advanced Inventory with Template Modules and OpenTokens
The Advanced Inventory Module can be used with 3rd party template modules like the ones from Viking Coders by using Open UI tokens on product pages to display current inventory levels. Please note that token support has not been completely tested as of yet.
%module|npinventory|stock_level% Returns the stock level for the product, attribute, option combination. To ensure that this works correctly, you should set g.NPI_Product_Code, g.NPI_Attribute_Code, and g.NPI_Option_Code to the current product code, attribute code, and option code. On a checkbox, make sure to set g.NPI_Option_Code = ''. On a product level, make sure to set the attribute and option variables to ''. After these globals are set, call the token. If the return value is -9999, the item is not being tracked.
%module|npinventory|stock_available% Same as above but shows the amount available.
%module|npinventory|oos_level% Same as above but shows the out of stock level.
%module|npinventory|stock_list% This token will set a global variable that contains an array of structures. You must set g.NPI_Product_Code equal to the current product code before calling the token. This array contains all of the product code, attribute code, and option code combinations for a specific product. It also contains the available stock, out of stock level, and other information shown below. This token makes it easy to create a stock table using OpenUI tokens in Viking Coders templates or in a product header or footer. Code examples are available in the help pages on the NetPush.com site. Array Structure: g.NP_Inventory_StockList[i]:attribute_code - Attribute Code g.NP_Inventory_StockList[i]:option_code - Option Code g.NP_Inventory_StockList[i]:stock_level - Stock Level g.NP_Inventory_StockList[i]:oos_level - Out of stock level g.NP_Inventory_StockList[i]:available - Stock Level minus out of stock level g.NP_Inventory_StockList[i]:allow_pur - Allow purchases even if out of stock from admin settings g.NP_Inventory_StockList[i]:low_amount - Low amount from admin settings g.NP_Inventory_StockListLen - Variable that tells you how many items are in the array (represented by i above)

Don't miss a marketing opportunity. Contact your customers a few days, weeks or months after they've purchased products at your store with automatically generated emails. The email content is configured by the store owner through merchant admin.
Features: (some features are only in the compiled version) - Send after-sales emails at configurable number of days in the future - Obtain feedback from customers relative to the shopping experience at your store - Provide a promotional coupon to increase the chance of return visits and sales - Generate product specific after-sales emails for one or two dates (each product can have a different number of days in the future) - Remind customers of re-order needs or companion products to the ones they already bought - Remove after-sales emails for a specific troublesome order - Put module in initial test mode to avoid improperly written and configured emails - HTML or plain text formatting - Email layout, wording, and design is configured in admin with templates and tokens
This module captures pertinent order information and uses it for generating a follow-on email. This gives you an opportunity to guage customer satisfaction with your store or provide them with a reason to come back and purchase again, e.g. with a coupon embedded in the email.
New in the compiled version is the ability to place the module in test mode until you are satisfied your stock email says what you want it to say. Also added is the ability to delete the follow on email for a specific order number. The email templates are composed within the module's admin. You can embed tokens to insert text from other modules, e.g. insert a unique coupon code by using the coupon generator in our Emporium Plus Coupon Redemption module.
New in the compiled version is the addition of product specific follow-on emails. You can schedule one or two follow-on emails related to a product. These emails are usually used to promote another product at a specific time frame or to encourage a repeat or maintenance sale for the original product. You can have two product specific emails in addition to the generic global email, for a total of three follow-on emails to increase sales and enhance marketing.
Provide an easy interface for visitors to refer your site URL to their friends. It uses the Miva SMTP capability. The subject and body of the Tell a Friend email message is
configurable through the Merchant admin interface. The form colors and fonts that the customer sees is also configurable in admin. You can choose to have a blind CC sent to the store email address and a log entry (date, from, to, product code - if applicable) maintained in a
flat file when referrals are sent. If the customer sends
the referral email when they are on a specific product
screen, a second link to the product is included in the
email. In Merchant 4.x and if you are using our Gift - Wish List module, there is a convenient button on the bottom of the Gift List display that sends the Gift List URL to your friends.
The module is MMUI and OpenUI compatible. If using the MMUI, two edits are required in the mmui.mv. With MMUI, you can place the button just about anywhere on the screen that you want it, the most common location being at the bottom of the category column. With the OpenUI, you can select through admin among the eight possible locations.
New in the compiled version is compatibility interface with the OpenUI Tokens and Viking Coders product template module. Place the Tell-a-Friend button
on the product page so that it better fits your desired look. Also, new in the compiled version is the ability to send the search string to a friend if your store is also using our Power Search module. Clicking the link will reproduce the search the original friend had created with Power Search prior to sending the Tell-a-Friend email.
In the compiled version, you can use this module with
the standard MMUI, as mmui.mv edits are not required in
Merchant versions 4.14 and newer.
New in the compiled version is an alternate template form for
the customer to enter friend names and email addresses, plus
an option to allow them to include a note. This template can
be HTML customized to suit your look and feel. If you are
not skilled at coding HTML, you can still use the default
(built in) form which is customized with colors, fonts,
etc with easy inputs in admin.
New in the compiled version is the ability to embed
certain tokens in the tell a friend email. For example,
if you are using our Coupon Redemption module with its
unique coupon code generation feature you can insert a
token like %module|couponrd|1~TELL-% in the body of the
email. If you are on a product page when you send the
email, the email can also contain the product name,
image or thumbnail, and price by using tokens. Also,
new in the compiled version is the ability to send the
email as HTML formatted instead of plain text.
New in the compiled version is the ability to send the
search string to a friend if your store is also using our Power Search module. Clicking the link will reproduce the search the original friend had created with Power Search prior to sending the Tell-a-Friend email. This is similar to the link you can send for
the Gift/Wish list if you are using our Gift List module.
The compiled version of this module can use OpenTokens
instead of hook points within OpenObjects. The
OpenDesigner screen lists the OpenObjects which can
replace all or some screens within the OpenUI user
interface. The OpenObjects provide a template screen
which contains the existing hook points (backward
compatibility), OpenToken capability, and the ability to
move output around within the OpenObject screen. Since
the tokens in this module conform to OpenToken
functionality, they may be used in other template type
screens like those provided by Viking Coders. Place the
Tell-a-Friend button on the Merchant pages so that it
better fits your desired look.
Word of mouth referral rates are rising... Give your visitors an ability to refer your Site or Specific Products to their friends, colleagues or loved ones. Visitors can provide up to three email addresses and their own message, which will be included in the Email. This module automatically installs and configures default Tell a Friend Page and Email templates, which can be further customized to meet your needs. The HTML Email is sent using Merchant Mail Server and Module Configuration settings. You can use template Headers/Footers to provide additional content information for your Tell a Friend page or edit the page and email templates to suit your needs.
The ADS Tell a Friend Module Features:
Simple Module Installation, Configuration and Controls
Automatic installation and assignment of a new Tell a Friend Page template, HTML Email template, and the required item.
Module is pre-configured to send either the Store Front Page or the Product Page in an HTML email.
Provides controls for Email Subject, From Email Address and CC.
Validates Customer provided email and message information by requiring the fields.
Customize an Email sent by organizing how the information appears in the email.
Insert the links to your new Tell a Friend page anywhere by using MIVA Merchant product page, navigation bar, category tree, static pages, etc...

Provide an easy interface within Miva Merchant for visitors to refer your site or specific product URL to their friends. It uses the built in Miva SMTP capability to send the email. You can use HTML formatted emails instead of plain text. Use the render token to place the Tell A Friend button on any page in the store. This module is for MIVA Merchant 5.x. We also have the corresponding module for an older version of Merchant.
The subject and body of the Tell a Friend email message is configurable through the Merchant admin interface. In addition to the easy to use, built-in form, there is an alternate template form for the customer to enter friend names and email addresses, plus an option to allow them to include a note. This template can be HTML customized to suit your look and feel. If you are not skilled at coding HTML, you can still use the default (built-in) form which is customized with colors, fonts, etc with easy inputs in admin.
You can choose to have a blind CC sent your store's email address. The module can also insert a log entry (date, from, to, product code if applicable) maintained in a flat file when referrals are sent.
If the customer sends the referral email when they are on a specific product screen, a second link to the product is included in the email. If you are using our Gift List module (Emporium Plus - Weiland), there is a convenient button on the bottom of the Gift List display that sends the Gift List URL to your friends.
You can embed certain tokens in the tell a friend email. For example, if you are using our Coupon Redemption (Emporium Plus - Weiland) module with its unique coupon code generation feature, you can insert a token like %module|couponrd|1~TELL-% in the body of the email. If you are on a product page when you send the email, the email can also contain the product name, image or thumbnail, and price by using tokens.
The emails can be multipart so that you can have both text and html sections of the email and the recipient browser will automatically select which section it is able to display.
You can have the Tell A Friend form on a page in Merchant or use it in a popup screen. You can display a thank you message after the submission and if you are using our coupon module, can generate an on-the-fly, unique coupon code.
The module currently fully supports the mivasql configuration of MIVA Merchant 5. It also supports MySQL as long as load balancing has the data stored on the single MySQL server. This would be the case in most of the server setups. For those that are not, we are in the process of converting the code for that remaining, very small group of MIVA Merchant stores. At this time we have not had a problem. Modules will be moved to the top of the queue as needed.
Customers can identify products that they would like to purchase but are currently out of stock. Once you place the product in stock, you can run the Send Email routine from the admin interface. It sends an unlimited number of notifications as one process, using Miva Engine
functions to prevent timeout. Each waiting customer will receive an email telling them that the product is back in stock.
If you are using my Inventory Management (IM) module (version 2.x or 3.x) or Miva's Inventory Management (version 4.x), the wait list manager will automatically insert the Wait List link on the product page when the
quantity is zero or less (version 2.x or 3.x) or out of stock (version 4.x configurable on a product by product basis). If you have modified your IM (version 2.x or 3.x) to allow ordering at less than zero to a specified lower
amount, you can modify the Wait List Manager to account
for that. In 4.x, this is determined by the global default or individual product's "out" setting. You can even block the
automatic link insertion by including the product code in the blocking list through the admin interface. If you
are not using an Inventory Management module, you can
still use the Wait List Manager by manually inserting the link into the product description of products you want to
"Wait List". In the case of "other" inventory management systems, you can insert the link into the code that those systems generate for out-of-stock messages.
When the customer clicks the Wait List link they are taken to a form to verify/enter their email address. If they are logged in, it inserts their email address for them. If not, they just type it in. The form also lists the number of other customers waiting for the item if
that number is 5 or above (just to the right of the
product name). This will give customers a sense
of urgency when they receive the in-stock notification. When they add themselves to the list, you have the option (in admin) of sending them a thank you (for their interest) email. If you employ this option, it will also tell them their position on the Wait List. When products are in short supply, that may be something your customers would like to know. Also, if they are already on the Wait List, and sign up again, it will not
duplicate their record, rather it will email them that they are already on the list and what their current position is on the list.
The admin configuration screen allows you to vary the name and/or image associated with this program so you aren't locked into the term "Wait List". You can also change the colors and fonts in the form along with the verbage in the form and notification email. You may even want to pass on a coupon code in the notification email for customers who have been waiting for a product.
When editing an individual product in admin, you can also display all of the Wait List records associated with that
product. They can be deleted manually in this screen if you don't plan to restock the item. There is also a handy link for mailing them to verify their continued interest in the item. For those not using an Inventory Management, this is also the screen that allows you to use Wait List to notify customers when an item is re-stocked. The Inventory Override works with either no online inventory system or inventory systems from other 3rd party module providers. Naturally, it also works with mine (version 2.x and 3.x) and Miva's (version 4.x) inventory systems. You can even limit the
notification in this screen to just some of the waiting customers. This is useful when you only receive a small number of the out-of-stock item and there are many more waiting for it. Since the entries are arranged in order, it is easy to give those on the waiting list the longest, the first shot at the newly re-stocked item.
You can quickly get a summary of all of the items on "Wait List" to provide you with a re-order, based on demand, tool.
When you Send Email, the module searches all products with a stock level (if using mine or Miva's Inventory Management systems) above zero and checks the product code against the Wait List database. Pending Wait List customers are notified of the re-stock of the product and their Wait List record is then deleted.
This module works with both the Miva Merchant and OpenUI look and feel user interfaces. Minor editing is required if you are not using the OpenUI.
To help the store owner identify needs quickly, an
optional CC email can be sent when an item is wait listed.
In the compiled version, you can use this module with
the standard MMUI, as mmui.mv edits are not required in
Merchant versions 4.14 and newer.
New in the compiled version is an alternate template form for
the customer to enter their name and email address. This template can
be HTML customized to suit your look and feel. If you are
not skilled at coding HTML, you can still use the default
(built in) form which is customized with colors, fonts,
etc with easy inputs in admin.
The compiled version of this module can use OpenTokens
instead of hook points within OpenObjects. The
OpenDesigner screen lists the OpenObjects which can
replace all or some screens within the OpenUI user
interface. The OpenObjects provide a template screen
which contains the existing hook points (backward
compatibility), OpenToken capability, and the ability to
move output around within the OpenObject screen. Since
the tokens in this module conform to OpenToken
functionality, they may be used in other template type
screens like those provided by Viking Coders. Place the
wait list button on the Merchant pages so that it
better fits your desired look.
Customers can identify products that they would like to purchase but are currently out of stock. Once you place the product in stock, you can run the Send Email routine from the module admin interface. It sends an unlimited number of notifications as one process, using Miva Enginefunctions to prevent timeout. Each waiting customer will receive an email telling them that the product is back in stock in your Miva Merchant store. This module is for MIVA Merchant 5.x. We also have the corresponding module for an older version of Merchant.
The module works with Miva's Inventory Management (version 5.x). The Wait List Manager will automatically insert the Wait List link on the product page when the quantity is out of stock. This is determined by the global defaultor individual product's "out" setting. You can even block the automatic link insertion by including the product code in the blocking list through the admin interface.
When the customer clicks the Wait List link they are taken to a form to verify/enter their email address. If they are logged in, it inserts their email address for them. If not, they just type it in. The form also lists the number of other customers waiting for the item if that number is 5 or above (just to the right of the product name). This will give customers a sense of urgency when they receive the in-stock notification. Whenthey add themselves to the list, you have the option (in admin)of sending them a thank you (for their interest) email. If you employ this option, it will also tell them their position on the Wait List. When products are in short supply, that maybe something your customers would like to know. Also, if theyare already on the Wait List, and sign up again, it will not duplicate their record, rather it will email them that they arealready on the list and what their current position is on the list.
The admin configuration screen allows you to vary the name and/or image associated with this program so you aren't locked into the term "Wait List". You can also change the colors and fonts in the form along with the verbage in the form and notification email. You may even want to pass on a coupon code in the notification email for customers who have been waiting for a product.
When editing an individual product in admin, you can also display all of the Wait List records associated with that product. They can be deleted manually in this screen if you don'tplan to restock the item. Thereis also a handy link for mailing them to verify their continuedinterest in the item. You can even limit the notification in this screen to just some of the waiting customers. This is useful when you only receive a small number of the out-of-stock item and there are many more waiting for it. Since the entriesare arranged in order, it is easy to give those on the waiting listthe longest, the first shot at the newly re-stocked item.

The module currently fully supports the mivasql configuration of MIVA Merchant 5. It also supports MySQL as long as load balancing has the data stored on the single MySQL server. This would be the case in most of the server setups. For those that are not, we are in the process of converting the code for that remaining, very small group of MIVA Merchant stores. At this time we have not had a problem. Modules will be moved to the top of the queue as needed.
