Bug? Add Page with product_list

In MIVA5, I believe I have found a bug when creating a new page and assigning the item product_list.

In my example, simply go into the store, page, add
Create a new page (I'll call is APLST)
Assign the item product_list to it.

You will notice that you are not presented the tab for Product List Display, it shows you Category Product List Display instead.

Even if I modify the database to change the mode to plst instead of ctgy it still will not display product information in the same manner as PLST.

Help?

There's an existing thread where at least five different customers were asking for a patch date... What's the deal with this? Is there anything we can do to work around this?

If you need a url:

http://www.hpiracing.com/mm5/merchan...&Store_Code=BH

None are displaying available upsell items.

Hi Alex,

We are aware of this issue and have been working on a resolution.
As soon as the fix becomes available, I'll be sure to announce it.

Hi Derrick,

We are aware of this issue and are working on resolution.
The only work around I can suggest in the meantime, is to edit the database and change the Product List mode to the one you require.

Mode | Name
ctgy | Category List Layout
plst | Product List Layout
relp | Related Product List Layout
srch | Search List Layout.

Thank you,

Alex

Re: MIVA Merchant 5 Bugs?

Thanks Alex,

I did modify the database and through comparisons, figured out what to change. For some reason, it still is not displaying product information correctly.

You sure the update was applied to the right page? Has anything changed when you altered the database?
You can PM me on this if you like. I'd rather not clutter the bug thread unless there are multiple issues here that need to be addressed.

Thanks,

Alex

Re: MIVA Merchant 5 Bugs?

There's an inventory bug whenever you "Import Products From Flat File" and do not include an adjustment of inventory.

For example, if you upload new prices for your products only, the inventory will be set to 0 for all of those products.

I found this bug the hard way when I ran a sale the other day and all of my sale items (hundreds) had their inventory set to 0 when I adjusted the prices. I spent the whole day doing inventory--ouch!!!

Re: MIVA Merchant 5 Bugs?

This is designed to be this way. There have been many discussions about this. Like anything else with Miva you must buy a module to update prices without specifying inventory. And you must buy a module to download your current inventory levels.

Unless you know your current inventory you cannot use the flat file import. If yiu do and you update on upload it will add those to the inventory online and double the inventory.

Re: MIVA Merchant 5 Bugs?

Intentional or not, it's still a bug (or at least a 'design flaw').

The fact that it's been discussed before is caused by this thread... At 18 pages, I doubt anyone is willing to read through them all just to see if thier bug has been posted already.

On that note, and with the fact that there's new management, I'll raise something else that's been previously discussed:

Please convert this 'thread' to a 'board'. I'd even be willing to volunteer a weekend to help split this thread into individual topics. I've thought that a single thread was a poor choice when it was first set up, and it's not too late to change it.

Quoting Directly From Miva's Documentation:

Update Existing Products
Imports updated information into existing products. Other information about the updated products will remain unchanged.
For instance, if you were updating the prices for products from one manufacturer you would select this option. Only the prices for the existing products referenced in the flat file would be changed. All the other information for each product, like description, on-hand quantity and so on would remain as it was.

If the above is not possible, the documentation needs to be updated, AND, the option to Update Existing Products should be eliminated because it doesn't work properly.

Hi Morgan,

I looked into your issue and it is a confirmed bug.
I'm not sure how this one slipped by me as I released an update to Flat File Import a couple months ago and wasn't aware of any other issues.

We'll stream this one out sometime next week.

Thank you,

Alex

Re: MIVA Merchant 5 Bugs?

Bugs, bugs, bugs...

Here is what's planned. We have a bug release stream going out either tonight (August 29th) or tomorrow that will fix:

- A bug in the PayPal module that caused customers placing an order without a PayPal account to get 'Transaction Failed' errors.

- Product Flat File Import bug where if inventory is turned on, the importing process wipes out the stock levels

- Category Tree component source (this is more of a feature than a bug fix)

Next Tuesday September 5th we'll be releasing a stream for MM5 that updates:

- The look and feel to our new logo (which will also be released via the web next Tuesday)

- All of the URL's and Email addresses within the software to go to mivamerchant.com instead of miva.com

The following Monday the 12th we're planning on streaming:

- The fix for the "multiple upsell bug"

- The European VAT bug

- Customer Template Based Email (again more of a feature than a bug)

In addition to the above mentioned bugs, we're working on:

- Linkpoint rounding error sales tax bug

- Single page checkout with account (identical to the checkout process in Miva Merchant Express)

- Ship To/Bill To incorrectly defaults to US bug

- BuySafe 2.0 module

- We're working on a brand new UPS online tools solution

Re: MIVA Merchant 5 Bugs?

wow, you guys fixed all those bugs in just a few days since the change in ownership! Makes one wonder why it took so long to address them. not!

Too bad so many of us moved on to different cart programs.
At least with Virtuemart I am not getting what I am not paying for.

Way to go MIVA! :)

Re: MIVA Merchant 5 Bugs?

Thank you very much, this is excellent news - great to see the bug fixes coming in thick and fast, and very impressed to see new features being added!

Please could I just flag the Google Checkout bug which means that UK merchants can't use the module? I've seen it mentioned on the forum, but not in this thread - to clarify:

Error parsing XML; message from parser is: Invalid value for body of tax-area in checkout-shopping-cart/checkout-flow-support/merchant-checkout-flow-support/tax-tables/default-tax-table/tax-rules/default-tax-rule: Must be a U.S. 2-letter postal code or state name

We've had a couple of people asking about the feature, so it would be useful to give them a bit of information about the status of the bug.

Cheers,

James
