Miva Merchant 5 Bugs?

[Julie Wilber]

Hi folks,

I try to keep up with this thread and make sure that the right people are looking into each issue that is brought up.

However, that is getting more and more difficult.

If you don't know if something is a bug or not, please post it in the forum first. If it's a bug, it will eventually make its way here.

Please do not discuss issues here. Make a new thread if you want to discuss an issue.

Thanks for you help!

Generic Currency Formatting drops the setting.

In Edit Store - Generic Currency Formatting.

If you set the currency symbol to "Other" then update the page, the currency symbol you set works. But if you go back at anytime and update any page under Edit Store it drops the currency symbol and displays the following message:

"Please specify a user defined currency symbol"

As long as this is the last item you update under Store Edit it works. It is annoyingly repeatable

This is similar to the Canadian VAT problem that was in early MM4 versions.

Nasty token parsing bug

I didn't see this one in the reported list. Since the thread is designed for new stuff to go to the end, I doubt Miva techs will see this but I'll post it anyway.
This works:

<mvt:item name="hdft" param="footer" /> &mvt:global:store_code;

This DOES NOT work:

<mvt:item name="hdft" param="footer" />&mvt:global:store_code;

When you don't leave the space after the /> it throws the error ....Found "/>&mvt" when expecting an attribute name.

While in most cases you can just put a space or line feed and eliminate the error, there may be times when you would not want to.

Another parsing bug

Here is another bug related to parsing tokens:

If nmonth, ndayofmonth, and nyear are all global variables and you try to display them like:

<br>Current date (our time): &mvt:global:nmonth;/&mvt:global:ndayofmonth;/&mvt:global:nyear;

You get:

Current date (our time): 5/&mvt:global:ndayofmonth;/&mvt:global:nyear;

Only the first variable gets displayed. The other two display the token text. If you put each element on a different line, it displays but there is a space before and after the slash characters so it looks like 5 / 28 / 2006 While that is better than nothing, the display should look like 5/28/2006.

Workaround?

Fix?

International Ordering bugs in Customer Information screen

Wow. I just discovered a horrible difference between MM4 and MM5's checkouts as they behave with international orders. I actually think it makes International orders practically impossible.

In MM4, the Bill To country defaults to <Select One> while in MM5 it's United States. So, if someone picks a different country, they are forced to fill in the Bill To information. Crazy.

In MM5, if they don't put in a zip code, it comes back with an error, and the Ship To country goes back to United States. That's ridiculous. It should keep the country selected before the error, as MM4 does.

It's easy to see how terrible this is. Pick any MM5 store. Begin checkout. Choose Place order without account. Enter only Ship To info and use International information, with the Zip Code blank and a country other than US. See? It goes back to US in the Ship To country field. Now, enter something in the Zip Code, rechoose the non-US country and submit. What's that? Yes, it's asking for Bill To information.

I hope this gets fixed, since it's been discussed in this forum since April. Anyone working on this at MIVA?

CIN function not working

A number of us are having a problem with CIN not working with product codes:

In my case, this does not work on the Basket contents page (among others):

<mvt:if expr="'FRESH' CIN l.settings:product:code"> <img src="graphics/approx.jpg">
<mvt:else>
&nbsp;
</mvt:if>

International Bug update

I posted in another thread something about the International Bug that clarifies and expands on my post a couple down this list:

http://extranet.miva.com/forums/show...3555#post13555

This is serious. I have a client who sells internationally, and not one customer has gotten past the customer information screen due to this bug. Please let me know if this is acknowledged as a bug, and if it's being worked on.

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

Has this issue actually been resolved? I haven't seen anything in the release notes, but all MM5 stores with VM 5.04 and mySQL that I've tested appear to be working properly and I get no errors after selecting multiple upsale items. There's a user here with a current thread (as of 7/23/06) with a store that apparently doesn't work, but I cannot duplicate this on any of the stores we host. Either it's been fixed in Core-7 update, or.... is there something else causing this??

[d_host]

... or, Jen, can you see if the store(s) you've run into with this problem are perhaps running mivaSQL? I know you mentioned VM 5.04 so chances are slim, but I thought I'd ask. The stores I've tested are all running mySQL.

This is a repost, but in case anyone is looking at this thread, see this thread for a patch...

I found a really nutty one today. If you use the code "GT" under custom product fields it won't allow you to use it on any page. It causes an error:

MIVA Merchant has encountered a fatal error and is unable to continue. The following information may assist you in determining the cause of the error: 
 
Error Code: MER-TUI-MGR-00006
Description: Error compiling template: Line 1: Expression compilation failed: Argument expected in Expression

That's because GT is the Great Than operand....

1. export products to flat file does not include attribute. stock level or track inventory this information is critical

2. export products to flat file, include categories does not complete
