The edit more module allows you to edit additional field data in
your product database from the individual product editing
screen. This MIVA Merchant module requires that you have already added the
additional fields to your products database with a dBaseIII plus
compatible editor. You should not do this unless you are
thoroughly familiar with database management and editing. If
you are unfamiliar, you may find that our Flexible Product Description
module is easier to use and accomplishes almost the same thing.
If you would rather enter your additional field data via
flat file import to get you started quickly, then you can use
the prodmore script, which is included in this software bundle.
Display of the additional data varies depending on whether you
are using the mmui or oui. With the mmui, editing the mmui.mv file
and including simple lines of code will display the data:
<MvIF EXPR = "{len(Products.d.itemsize)}">
<BR>Size: <B><MvEVAL EXPR = "{Products.d.itemsize}"></B>
</MvIF>
If using the oui, the changes are made in the showmore module (included
in this software bundle) and that module is installed as an OpenUI module.
How this is done varies depending on the Merchant version.
If you are using the product and category template modules
from Michael Brock, you can use the token:
%product|fieldname|% to directly access the database field.
