Availability Groups in Flex Components

delcorsets — Wed, 27 May 2026 15:49:04 GMT

I'm trying to incorporate Availability Groups into our mega menu flex component, but it's causing the entire menu to be hidden from the Page Builder preview. Can Availability Groups be used in flex components, and if so is there any documentation about how to properly set it up? I'm not trying to gate the entire component, I'm just trying to gate a wholesale section of the menu within the component.

Thanks!

Initial Scheduling Toggle State in Flex Components

delcorsets — Mon, 25 May 2026 16:46:33 GMT

I'm building a custom flex component with scheduling fields using the can_disable group pattern, and I'm running into a persistent issue: toggles are defaulting to ON when new list items are created, rather than OFF.

Here's the property structure I'm using:

```json
{
"code": "start_date",
"prompt": "Not Visible Before",
"type": "group",
"can_disable": 1,
"properties": [
{ "code": "start", "prompt": "Start Date/Time", "type": "datetime" }
]
}
```

I've tried several variations to get the toggle to default to OFF for new items:

1. "settings": { "enabled": 0 } on the group - toggle still defaults ON
2. "template": { "settings": { "enabled": 0 } } on the group - toggle still defaults ON
3. No settings or template at all (matching the pattern in mmx-mega-menu) - toggle still defaults ON
4. Nesting start/end inside a parent group without can_disable (caret-only collapsible) - child toggles still default ON

The fields are inside a list_type: group list property. When a new list item is created in Page Builder, both the Not Visible Before and Not Visible After toggles are ON by default, which means all new items are immediately date-gated and invisible until toggles are manually turned off.

For reference, I have another component on the same site that uses the identical pattern (can_disable: 1, no settings/template) and its scheduling toggles correctly default to OFF. The only structural difference I can identify is that in the other component the scheduling fields are at the top level of the list item, whereas in my component they are nested inside a group. Also, the component I'm having trouble with is global, the other one is not.

Questions:
1. Is there a correct way to specify can_disable defaults for new list items?
2. Does nesting a can_disable group inside another group affect its default state?
3. Is this a known issue?

Running Miva 26.01.01.

Thanks!

Basket Coupon Charge Not Showing in Basket:charges

Bruce - PhosphorMedia — Fri, 22 May 2026 20:55:33 GMT

Trying to add the Mica coupon redemption feature into a very old site.

The integration seems to work however the basket:charges array isn't populated with the coupon discount, nor does the total or comprehensive total reflect the discount in their values. Once you get to the OPAY page everything renders correctly

URI Import File Example

lesliekirk — Fri, 22 May 2026 19:38:54 GMT

I thought there used to be an example of how to create an import file to redirect (301) to a category. I asked the support chatbot, and it said there wasn't a "specific example." The link in this sentence doesn't work:

Detailed technical documentation on the feature can be found here .

MailChimp Stopped Syncing

Jim Cockerham — Wed, 20 May 2026 13:53:34 GMT

Has anyone had an issue like this with Mailchimp? I have two stores connected to Mailchimp with the Miva built in module. It looks like both stopped syncing about a month ago. The sync logs show an error: MER-FUF-MLCP-00077: Your API key may be invalid, or you've attempted to access the wrong datacenter. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the module but now I am not able to complete the setup to Mailchimp. I can get all of the way through setup to where you select the mailing list and currency but why I try to save I get: "Failed to create Mailchimp store after 50 attempts".

Multi-Domain and QuickBooks

lesliekirk — Tue, 19 May 2026 18:42:26 GMT

I did a little reading ahead of time, and if a store is using the Miva QuickBooks Online module, the docs for it have a note that says "Only one QuickBooks Online company can be connected to a Miva store at a time." How does this work with a Multi-Domain store? I asked the Support Docs AI. It basically told me to contact Miva Support.

The store I'm working with is currently using the T-Hub connector, and it could be worth changing to the MivaConnect QBO configuration if it can import orders and inventory from the two stores into one QB account.

Can a Multi-Domain Additional Store be temporarily configured without a domain name? Can it be changed at a later date?

Multi-Domain and Price Groups

lesliekirk — Fri, 15 May 2026 11:42:08 GMT

Still trying to find the best way to create a second store using the same products from the main store, but offered at a different price than the main store. Reading through everything, I had first wondered if the second store could be a Price Group. It would appear, if I understand correctly, that this Price Group also impacts the main store? So the only option would be to go to the "Additional Store" to offer different pricing?

Export a Branch

lesliekirk — Tue, 12 May 2026 12:23:43 GMT

Is it possible to export just a branch and move it to a dev site or even another store? Or does it still have to be the whole framework?

Product Description html layouts broken when using page builder

Ron Frigon — Fri, 08 May 2026 19:54:27 GMT

I must be missing something simple... I have shadows based html/css layouts in my product descriptions. In my dev branch using the latest version of Shadows and page builder my description layouts are all broken. The css rules do not get applied breaking the layout.

If I copy/paste the same html into the edit product > footer template, instead of the description field, it displays as expected.

I don't get it.

Shipping upcharge on products

bmotlow — Tue, 05 May 2026 12:49:24 GMT

We currently handle this via attributes, charges and fees, or flat rate shipping methods. A way to add a shipping upcharge to a product that adds to the baskets shipping charge instead of being a fee linked to a specific product could be very helpful when dealing with larger or heavier products.
