User_Is_Manager bug(?)

Running this:

<MvDO FILE="{g.Module_Library_DB}" NAME="l.manager" VALUE="{User_Is_Manager(g.admin_user_id)}">

Gives me this:

 Runtime error in lib/db.mvc @ [00000041:00000034]: lib/dbeng/users.mv: Line 218: MvOPENVIEW: Unknown table 's01_UserXStore'

Admittedly, I'm doing some pretty strange things in my code, but I'm not telling db.mvc that UserXStore is in the 's01' directory.

Not only is UserXStore not in the 's01' directory, but there is no such file/directory as 'lib/dbeng/users.mv'.

Any suggestions?

Feature? Well, I wouldn't go that far...but, the "resolution" is more of a Feature Request for those that really are worried about the $00.25 they might owe the state....

In all seriousness, I would agree that that the method of tax computation in general should be more flexiable.

I've been having to pull a lot of posts recently so let's try to keep this thread clear of discussion. This is really for bugs that can be duplicated and any work around that you may have come up with.

If you have a question about it, post a new thread and if it is a bug it will find it's way here.

Thanks

I just edited a customer's product display layout template and called my revision:

Replaced body font with <div> for description

After doing that, the drop down list for Versions only has previous revisions, my revision is stuck over in the grey area next to the box and the recall and clear buttons no longer work.

MIVA-Paypal Interface Issue

My Miva powered store (Gamesavers.net) accepts paypal payments only. I have been having an intermittant problem of orders not getting reported via the MIVA 'user interface'. I receive a payment for the order through paypal, but there is no order data visible through the miva 'user' interface and I receive no email 'order received' notification. I have to retrieve the order info through PHP database access. Sometimes I do receive the notification and can access the order info through the standard miva 'user' interface. The IPN and auto-return set up in paypal were as instructed on the miva payment configuration page when this problem started. In an effort to fix the problem, I was told by my hosting company (hostmysite.com) to change the auto-return URL from ending in paypali.mvc? to paypalp.mvc? The probelm continues to occur quite frequently even with this change. Is this a known bug in the system and what can I do to prevent this from happening?

Affiliate Link Image Hyperlink problem

There appears to be a bug with the Affiliate link image hyperlink configuration. I assume that when an image is uploaded on the configuration page, the html hyperlink text should appear on the affiliate page so that an affiliate can copy and past the html onto their websites. Instead, miva appears to be inperpreting the html and displays the image on the affiliate page with a hyperlink to the store's main page. Is there a fix for this?

Its actually a known flaw rather than a bug. The MIVA PayPal module requires the customer to click on the final checkout button on the PayPal site before your MIVA Store is notified of the accepted payment.

To avoid this issue, get Weiland's PayPal Module instead.

It will eliminate this issue.

Search with expanded product view

When the search screen uses the expanded product view in/of the list, the post back form does not include the correct variables to maintain the keyword that was searched for along with incorrect field values for the product and store codes.

<input type="hidden" name="Store_Code" value="&mvte:global:Store_Code;">
<input type="hidden" name="Product_Code" value="&mvt:product:code;">
<input type="hidden" name="Search" value="&mvte:global:Search;">

Above are the correct references that can be modified by using the advanced editor so that the shopper is returned to the search page after clicking "add to cart"

Attribute Template Bug

When viewing the atribute templates, clicking the NEXT button does nothing. I have preferences set to view 100 items, but it only shows 10.
The only way to see the rest is to set the number to 100 and update.

I have a bug in my store - I keep getting application time out errors when a customer creates a new account and the system creates duplicate customer records in the database. I have been able to recreate this error several times. When I pack the datafiles - I receive no errors. Also it seems on the duplicate record there is no password. At least when I deelte the 1st record and click the link to send lost password to me - it comes back with a blank password.

I am using

Production Release 2
MIVA Engine v5.03
Database API: mivasql

Is there a work around for this problem ?

Inactive Component modules are still Active.

Making a component module Inactive does not stop it's content from being displayed in the store.

Bug in Order Export module?

When we export the orders from Miva 5 store, the shipping is calculated wrong, in the exported file.

It add the shipping cost of first order to the second, and shipping of first & second order to the third.
here's shipping for three orders


ORDER_SHIPOrder1 3.99Order2 7.98Order2 7.98Order3 11.97

when I look at the orders in the admin they appear to be fine.

Is it known issue? Is there any solution or workaround for this problem.

thanks

You'll find the same bug for the tax column if your store collects tax.

Bug in Product Export

Merchant 5, PR2, patches up to date, VM5.04, MivaSQL or MySQL.

When using "Export Products to Flat File", selecting "Include Category List" and the format as "Import Products from Flat File", the export file created puts a space between the category codes. e.g.,
Product_A My Product A CAT_CODE_1, CAT_CODE_2 0.0 ...etc.

instead of

Product_A My Product A CAT_CODE_1,CAT_CODE_2 0.0 ...etc.

The incorrect format means that if the file is used to import products, the product will only be added to the first category on the list.

Re: Bug: Multiple Upsale Items selected cause Fatal Error on OSEL.

Does anybody know if there is a way of finding out whether any progress has been made by the MIVA Engineers with regard to the Multiple Upsale Items bug reported by Jen? I've taken a quick look through the Patch and Download history on the MIVA site, but it doesn't seem to have been mentioned.

I'm just trying to get a potential time scale for a fix, as one of our customers used multiple upsale on their mm4 store; now they've moved to mm5 they're finding the bug to be a bit of a problem.

Cheers,

James
