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. Tell A Friend Weiland / Miva Central

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.

2. Tell A Friend v5 Emporium Plus / Miva Central

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.

4. Share it with A Friend Viking Coders /

This module provides the "Tell a friend" genre of functionality. It adds a button to the product display pages which a customer can click to be taken to a form page where they enter the email address(es) of their friends, enter any comments they want, and send an email to those friends telling them about the product. But it is a bit more flexible than most. The button link from the product page can be displayed in 11 different positions (and even all 11 if the mood strikes you). The form into which the customer enters their email address and the addresses of their friends with whom they are sharing their discovery is completely configurable. You define the html to use for that page with tokens used to represent where you want to put the various form fields. The message on the email is similarly configurable and tokens can be used to represent the product code, name, price, cost, and description. The module includes a logging feature which can save the product and customer's comment to a flatfile. By default, the module includes the HTML you need for a standard form for all of the fields and pages.
