No, you'll want to and need to install beta 7 to get to beta 8, just make sure you do it via the Review and Install screen not the Automatic Update screen.

Since installing Beta8, PayPal Website Payments Standard does not seem to confirm the order back to miva

Every thing goes through and the payment is taken, but the order does not show up in miva

Hello,

We just discovered that Paypal Website Payments Standard will not return anything to the admin if you have Wombat beta 8 installed. We already have a fix and expect to stream it out early next week. If this is a big problem for your store I suggest you deactivate the module in your Modules list until the patch is installed.

There is a small script at the bottom of the OCST page in the Customer Fields tab that reads:

<script
type="text/javascript"
src="&mvt:global:sessionurl;Store_Code=&mvte:store:code;&amp;Screen=CUSTJS"></script>

which is giving SSL warnings.

I replaced it with:

<script type="text/javascript" src="&mvte:global:secure_sessionurl;Store_Code=&mvte:store:code;&amp;Screen=CUSTJS"></script>

and now it seems to be functioning properly. I am not sure if that is a bug, a settings, or developer issue but I just wanted to mention it just in case it needs to fixed.

Re: Wombat Beta 4 is out - PLEASE READ Part 1

Hello,

I'm having trouble with the dynamic attribute pricing and inventory status. I have a dev 5.5 beta 7 store. The inventory at attribute level is working as well as the hide product if all attributes are out of stock. However, when I try to implement the dynamic attribute pricing and inventory status, it does not work. I'm using the MMUI framework and my 5.5 dev store was created prior to Beta 3, so I have manually entered code for the MMUI framework per instructions from this thread http://extranet.mivamerchant.com/for...d.php?p=110173.

Is there something I have missed? Will I need to switch to the CSSUI framework?

Thank you,
Ken

Ken,

You can definitely do it with MMUI. Have you set the pricing span and included it in your template code?

Re: Wombat Beta 4 is out - PLEASE READ Part 1

Hi Rick,

By pricing span, do you mean entering the prices for each sub-product attribute? If so, then yes.

As for including it into the template code, Would it be possible to show me an exampled of this code? I think this might be the missing piece.

Thank you,
Ken

Ken,

I would guess that's the problem, I'll get a short tutorial up sometime today.

Hi Rick,

Has this tutorial been posted?

Thank you,

No I haven't had a chance yet.

Ken can you get me access to your store? I'll use it to write up the instrucs? You can email it to me.

At the Miva conference there was some discussion about the new AJAX JavaScript used in the wombat admin.

Is this a library like the prototype library or was it written in house?

Re: Wombat Beta 4 is out - PLEASE READ Part 1

Wrapping up Ken's question about using the dynamic pricing and inventory messages with MMUI, there were 3 things I did to Ken's dev store to make it work:

1. Go to your PROD page after you've assigned the attributemachine and click on the Attribute Inventory Tab. You'll need to set values for Inventory Element and Price Element. For example I set mine to be inventory-value and price-value

2. Go to your template code and find your price display (to add the dynamic pricing portion) and add <span id="price-value"> before your formatted price and then </span> after. For example in Ken's store it went from:

<b><h7>&mvt:product:formatted_price;</h7></b>

to:

<span id="price-value"><b><h7>&mvt:product:formatted_price;</h7></b></span>

3. Finally double check to make sure you've put the attributemachine item's in the right place. The head one needs to be in the head tags and the body one goes after the product_display item.

The code above was used to have the price dynamically update, but the concept is identical in regards to inventory messages.

Re: Wombat Beta 4 is out - PLEASE READ Part 1

I don't have the beta version of wombat installed, so I hope you will forgive me if these questions sound a little basic but...

1) Will the inventory management at the attribute level be handled by a client side script (javascript / AJAX) or will it be server-side Miva script?

2) Likewise, will the dynamic Pricing dependent upon attribute selection script be server side or client side (I am guessing it would have to be client side?!?!?!)

Thanks, and apologize again if the answers to these questions are obvious.

Re: Wombat Beta 4 is out - PLEASE READ Part 1

The actual inventory management and price management is handled by Miva on the server side.

However the display items (dynamically updating what's in stock based on attribute choices, or updating the price dynamically based on selection) use Javascript. So if someone has JS turned off, it will still allow them to shop and it won't allow them to order something out of stock, but the shopping experience will be a bit clunkier in that case. They would have to add to cart to find out it's out of stock and would only see the base price until viewing their cart.
