    OT: Miva buying Viking Coders? :)



    Hi Rob:

    In the MM5 admin under the store menu, click the
    Pages link, then edit one of the pages to access
    the page templates.

    What in MM5 makes all these modules obsolete? I have viewed the
    tutorial
    and read Miva's blurb on MM5 and about the only "module-like" thing I
    see is
    the ability to assign weights to attributes. I haven't been on this
    form
    much lately but is there a list of these new features? The tutorial
    admin
    interface looked like the same thing to me, just with different colors.

    It would certainly make sense. MM5 makes some of the most popular
    Copernicus
    and Viking modules essentially obsolete (plus OUI of course). Of the
    three,
    only Darren has seemed bothered by that but he wasn't bought out.

    Viking still has a lot of other marketable mods though so I hope your
    guess
    is wrong. I'd really like to see them continue with the excellent work
    they've always done.

    When we found out about Miva buying Copernicus, it was after a week of
    heavy
    promotion of discounted Copernicus modules. I realized I should have
    figured
    it out beforehand because of that. Well, now MivaCentral is heavily
    promoting the Viking Coders template modules on their site and in their
    mailings.

    <A HREF ="http://www.mivacentral.com/">http://www.mivacentral.com/</A>

    Should we make a leap and wonder if Miva has bought Viking Coders? If
    you
    look at MivaCentral's home page, they list only Miva Corp and VC
    products
    under New Products. Coincidence?

    Okay, I'm just playing. But if it turns out to be true, I'll be a

    A couple of the main additions to MM5 is the ability to use a MySQL database
    which Copernicus has a module for and template control over the individual
    store screens which Copernicus, Viking, and OUI all have modules for. Each
    of those developers also has other modules of course but screen templates
    are some of the most popular and they are (reportedly) no longer needed in
    MM5.

    Which part? Copernicus, Viking, or OUI?

    I wish the Vikings well regardless but I truly hope they're remaining
    independent so they can come up more great ideas and I can continue to buy
    and recommend them.

    Hehe, without any doubts the Vikings deserve a lot Miva-Dollars for their
    work over the years, just like Ivo, William and Bruce (plus a few others of
    course). Still, I'm hopeful that they all remain more interested in keeping
    their independence and creative freedom - Too little variety makes things
    rather dull, IMO.

    Subject: [mru] OT: Miva buying Viking Coders? :)

    When we found out about Miva buying Copernicus, it was after a week of heavy
    promotion of discounted Copernicus modules. I realized I should have figured
    it out beforehand because of that. Well, now MivaCentral is heavily
    promoting the Viking Coders template modules on their site and in their
    mailings.

    <A HREF ="http://www.mivacentral.com/">http://www.mivacentral.com/</A>

    Should we make a leap and wonder if Miva has bought Viking Coders? If you
    look at MivaCentral's home page, they list only Miva Corp and VC products
    under New Products. Coincidence?

    Okay, I'm just playing. But if it turns out to be true, I'll be a
    visionary!!:)

    Viking modules rock and their support is super excellent. If Miva buys them or
    not they will be successful because of the way they do business.
