Use caution when considering any modules from modStop. Their support has been reported by umpteen Miva Merchant users as suspect and worse. Some of their modules are simple and shouldn't require support. Please contact us with any questions concerning them or their modules.


1. Additional Product Fields Manager Viking Coders / Miva Central

Additional Product Fields Manager is an easy to use package for creating an unlimited number of new product fields. It requires no core database modifications or code changes, all additional fields are defined through an admin console. Simply define a code and prompt for each new field, and choose which screens to display it on (product, category, product list, and/or search). These options may be edited later while preserving any new field data you have added. Additionally, you can arbitrarily sort new fields at any time.

Once one or more new fields have been defined, you can start adding product data for the new fields. Product data may be added/updated in the Edit Products Screen, or in bulk using the included Import Module. Field data may contain up to 254 characters and may also include HTML/JavaScript/etc. If you haven't added any data for a new field for a product, that field simply isn't displayed for the product. In this way, different products may contain different new fields. An export module is also included.

Features Include:

  • Unlimited new fields
  • No database or code changes required
  • Configurable display of new fields for all standard screens (you can choose to display a new field on category and product pages, but not on search results, for example)
  • On-the-fly sorting of new fields
  • Import module for bulk import of new field data
  • Export module to export the new field data
  • Optional bold display of new field data on product and expanded displays

2. Extra Product Fields netBlazon / Miva Central

The Extra Product Fields module allows you to specify additional information for products within your store. This information is structured so that you may present it in the following fashion (as an example):

Author: Dr. Seuss

For each field, you can choose whether to display it on the product screen, line item layouts, and/or expanded layouts (affects category screens, search results, and product list pages). Fields are only shown on Merchant's screens if there is a value associated with them, so you may easily define different fields for different products. Other features are:

  • Control the font and style by entered HTML before and after the label and value
  • Choose one of five locations to show data on the product page (above Quantity in Basket, Below Price, below Weight, Above Description, Below Description)
  • Set alignment for column on line item layout
  • Import module allows you to create data in Excel or a text editor and import it into Merchant
  • Export module allows you to backup information entered either by hand or via import

3. Flexible Product Description Weiland / Miva Central

Add additional field data within the product narrative description. This data will appear on the screen as if it is in a separate field, but is really just part of the narrative memo field. This Merchant version 2.22 or 3.x module handles the parsing so that the customer only sees the data in the appropriate places.

No modification to the products database structure is required. No additional databases are required to support this additional data. The additional data is added into product records just as any other product data, through admin or via flat file import. This provides easier code maintainability and faster data access. Since the data is stored within the product narrative description field, that data is immediately available to the standard Merchant search function with no code modification. This is the simplest way to display additional data in the product and category screens as if it is in separate fields instead of just narrative data. By doing this, the data stands out as name - value pairs, eg Author: Hemmingway.

An added benefit is that you can have within your store products with different types of additional field data. Some products might need additional fields such as author, publisher, and date while other products might need fields such as composer, vocalist, and country of origin. This software product is an example of such a situation. Most of the products in my store are movie posters and contain additional fields related to them. That field data is stored in separate fields and maintained via prodmore (module for importing additional field data into separate fields). While this product record contains those same additional fields (naturally they are empty), I have added four fields via Flexible Product Description, which only appear in this product record. You can see them as Merchant Version, User Interface, CIM Tool Kit, Combo and New Image in the CTGY and PROD screens. In a Merchant 3.0 store, they can also appear in expanded product display screens for SRCH and PLST. I've also added the New Image field to some of the new product records to demonstrate the flexibility this feature provides. You can see the search box on the store front which lists new products by month.

New in the compiled version is compatibility interface with the OpenUI Tokens and Viking Coders product template module. Place the additional field data on the product page so that they better fit your desired look. Pseudo-fields, brief and keyword, can be used by Static Catalog Generator to improve search engine ranking for both the static html and dynamic Miva Merchant pages. See the install notes for details.

Version 2.x, 3.x Available

Price: $15 Upgrade Cost: $10 Upgrade Terms (If Any): N/A
Compatibility: OpenUI Versions: 4.x, 4.14-4.23x (Available Compiled All 4.x Versions)

5. Product Xtra - Additional Fields modStop /

ProdXtra lets you create, display and let customers search on new fields for your products. You will have complete control over field names and where these fields are displayed.

With ProdXtra you can give additional fields a simple name for importing and exporting, and a label (such as Year, Manufacturer, or Condition). These labels won't be displayed on products that contain no data for the fields, so you can have different fields for different products.

This module lets you choose where these fields will be displayed - search page, product list, category page and product page. You can also choose the type of field that will be imported (number, text, memo, etc.), and decide if the fields are searchable.

ProdXtra gives you complete control over all your fields in the admin.mv of your store. Included are import and export modules which allow you to import additional fields altogether, and export any fields already added via the products area in your store.
