    Attribute Print Order



    Attributes by default print in the order they were created, not in the
    order that they are chosen.

    Yes, with the PRO versions of truXoft notification, invoice and batch
    modules, you can choose among several ways to sort attributes on the orders.

    Customer record update error



    Check to make sure all your third party modules are up todate.

    One might not be updated, and is missing that function.

    product detail page problems



    Also it depends on your gateway setup... I do not have to batch at the store
    side of things with LinkPoint or with Verisign becuase I have my gateway set
    to auto process all incoming transactions. So the transactions get collected
    whether or not I mark them as processed in my store. My gateway does their
    own 'batch' at the end of every day. 'Batching' in my store in only a
    convience for me.... I use it to tell me if I've downloaded orders into my
    order manager software or not.

    Chuck,

    Checking the Custom fields in the Search "Layout" tab, only affects the
    search "layout" and doesn't address what fields are searched. Also, =
    the way
    the Custom Field API is setup (by Miva Corp), it works nicely, but I =
    would
    see a difficulty it making the Custom Fields searchable without adding =
    quite
    a bit of overhead (at least to make it work right).

    I'll do some thinking on it and if I can come up with a relatively =
    simple
    way to do it......well, we'll see.

    I, too, see this as a maintenance hassle. So I write my header codes as
    text files and INCLUDE them.

    If your site uses the OpenUI you can put header/footer files in the
    "mivadata" directory and refer to them as follows: (I use a sub-folder:
    '/sf').

    %OUI%%INCLUDE(sf/oui-welcome-storefront.htm)%
    [for storefront message]

    %OUI%%INCLUDE(sf/oui-global-screen-header.htm)%
    [for global header]

    %OUI%%INCLUDE(sf/oui-category-tree-header.htm)%
    [for category tree]

    I tweak and edit and preview the fragment files locally, then I FTP
    them to my site.
    I save my previous versions, so if something goes wrong I can easily
    backstep.

    Some may say this will add overhead. I feel that it's worth it to have
    my code in easy-to-access and archive, multi-platform ascii text files.
    (I feel that if my site hw/sw can't handle simple file includes, I'd
    better be getting a faster system!)

    You could do this with the EmporiumPlus External

    We have just introduced a module called Merchant Optimizer which does this for the
    product, category and storefront pages. If you just want a module that will save a
    specific file as a static html file, we also have a module that does this, although, its
    not a resale module, but it would be free. Let me know if that is what you are after.

    Purchase Modul



    Andreas, suffice to say my experience is different. I prefer to not have my
    computer doing things without my knowledge. I've seen patches and updates
    have results ranging from mere inconvenience to outright wreaking havoc -
    even in 2000 and XP both on desktop and server.

    As to reading technical information on what the patch is supposed to remedy,
    there are two problems. First, most users would rather stick needles in
    their eyes, since it's not in layman's terms. Second, it doesn't tell you
    that it might cause something to not work properly.

    Microsoft doesn't come out and say: "Hey, here's this new patch. We know
    it took us about a year to figure out we screwed something up, we really
    don't have the time to thoroughly test the patch itself, and it might break
    a bunch of your stuff, but since it's your machine, it's your problem if it
    doesn't work. But we have technical support available at $40 per call."

    Just my two cents. You guys can do what you will, but I never apply
    anything until I confirm it's reliable, and I absolutely never remove the
    update archive from my drive for at least a number of months (like two to
    six months), should I need to back it out.

    I'm supporting computer networks since 1986. I agree in the old time Win311
    & Win95/98 where a mess. But nowadays patches are safe and don't devastate
    your system. To ask users to pick the right upgrades is like asking a car
    owner to pick the right sparks for there car. THIS COULD BE DEVESTATING!

    I personally use SP2 on one of my computers without any problem and I must
    say spyware can't install itself anymore. Because the computer asks each
    time if I agree to install the spyware ;-) That's not like before,
    installing without knowledge of the user. The firewall is straight forward
    and didn't need much configuration. Miva Merchant works like charm, even
    without changing any settings.

    FYI I'm writing only about desktop OS NOT server OS. XP SP2 is strictly for
    desktops and NOT SERVER.

    Andreas -

    I beg to differ. Microsoft has a history of releasing patches that fix one
    thing, and break three others. Users would be better advised to use the
    Windows Update function from IE, so they can pick and chose the patches that
    are known to be safe, rather than having potentially damaging updates
    devastate their systems.

    Furthermore, if you are using a decent firewall such as Norton Internet
    Security, as we all should be, it verily negates the need for the patches at
    all. However at a minimum, turning off the automatic update feature for as
    long as it takes to determine if SP2 is stable will be all that's required.

    I don't know if you've ever done any support work, but I've seen patches and
    updates cause as many headaches as they solve. Better to err on the side of
    caution and have the power of decision be put at the control of the user,
    rather than allowing Microsoft to push down potentially hazardous code to
    your machine.

    NEVER recommend anyone to disable the "automatic update". Just because many
    people don't update there XP OS is one of the reasons worms and trojans can
    spread so well.

    So, who ever reads this mail NEVER DISABLE this function. Those updates make
    your system safer and less vulnerable.

    But anyway it's a good advise to make backups.

    Eli -

    Microsoft's history of "improvements" is legendary. In a bad way.

    My recommendation to everyone here is to DISABLE the "automatic update"
    feature in XP. You also all should use a utility like Ghost, or other
    backup utility that supports disaster recovery, so you can archive your
    entire functional drive and OS now, and restore it later if need be. It's
    just a matter of "best practices" to keep you going.

    To disable the automatic update feature, go to:
    System Properties (right mouse on My Computer and pull up properties)
    Automatic Updates Disable "Keep My Computer Up To Date"

    Many users feel that having OEM software discs is the "archive" and they can
    just reinstall the OS and applications. But what they fail to account for
    are the hours, days, weeks, and often months of incremental customizations
    and changes, patches, driver updates, folder views, and whatnot that we
    apply to the OS over time.

    They also forget the amount of time spent on customizing application
    software, such as file locations, program preferences and local program
    settings. For instance, do you have an FTP utility with saved sites? Where
    are those settings stored? Basically, any data that are not stored in the
    "My Documents" or local user profiles should be identified and preserved.

    I urge everyone to do some "housekeeping" in this way:

    1) Clear your temporary internet cache, get rid of any temp files on your
    drive, and delete any downloaded windows updates in the Windows directory
    that you know have been proven to be functional, and can be deleted because
    you don't need to back them out. When done, delete anything that is in your
    recycle bin, and then defragment your drive.

    2) When finished, do a complete drive image, or use a backup utility of your
    preference that enables you to completely restore you drive. The term used
    by backup software is "disaster recovery". Don't use a utility like
    Iomega's "One Step Backup", because these utilities do not properly archive
    operating system files that are in use, and will not restore your system to
    its functional state if you have to recover from a hard drive failure.

    Recommended archiving software that I've used successfully in the past, and
    is reliable:
    Norton "Ghost"
    Intradyn's "Back Again"
    <A HREF ="http://www.intradyn.com/cgi-bin/webcart.cgi?CONFIG=cds&ZOOMPAGE=YES&OCATS=Ba">http ://www.intradyn.com/cgi-bin/webcart.cgi?CONFIG=cds&ZOOMPAGE=YES&OCATS=Ba</A>
    ck+Again+II+Workstation+ver.+4.5&ZN=TEXT&CODE=8854


    - optional -

    If you prefer, you can use your backup software to archive your data files
    and operating system seperate. Many users prefer to have data files and OS
    related stuff on seperate sets of media, so they can do incremental updates,
    rather than full sets. Depending on how your backup or imaging software
    works, Locate and archive your data files. Anything that you store in My
    Documents, your Outlook .PST and mail account settings, IE favorites, and
    other data files that are stored in their respective program directories or
    in sub-folders in the local user's profile are important. For instance, if
    you use Quicken or QuickBooks, look in the program directory for the data
    file and other support files to ensure you get them backed up.

    Good luck to all!

    Hey everybody,

    I have seen talk on forums about users being leary about installing Service
    Pack 2 for Windows XP when it comes out this summer/fall. Do any of you
    think there is reason to worry?

    Thank You,

    What are you trying to use Gallery for - your product images? Additional
    images? Here a little snippet I use to pull the Galllery thumbnails into
    another application:

    You could something similar with the fullsize image too.

    Cindy,

    Viking is awesome. Their products are solid. I've been thrilled with all
    their standard offerings
    that I've used and have even contributed $$ to have additional features
    included in some of them... which are
    now available to others at the normal module price. I am well pleased with
    their stuff.
