Template Data Feed exports your MIVA Merchant product data in the basic file formats required for multiple data feed submissions for inclusion in their ecommerce search directories. This MIVA Merchant plugin module works with both MMUI and OpenUI. No mmui.mv edits required. Like our other modules, this module is licensed by domain, so if you have multiple stores in a single domain, you only need one license for all the stores in that domain. This data feed plugin module creates the datafeed flat file directly from your admin Frequent, no hassle submissions keep your data current Eliminates the need to copy product and category databases from the server to your PC to produce a flat file export with software such as MS Excel Uses your data as it exists within admin at the moment it is run Exclude/include export of specific products (by code, price, weight) Control over category insertion Exclude/include export from specific categories Include a table for each export that matches your category codes to the shopping index's category system (no need to edit data into each product's custom fields to hold the shopping index category) If you are using MIVA's custom fields module, the additional field data can be used to populate additional fields and/or added to the description. It can be used in Merchant versions 4.14 and newer. No need to purchase an additional fields module since the customfld.mvc is free. Removes html from your product descriptions Included in the module are features to eliminate timeouts when generating the data feed export of large numbers of products Show export status in a progress bar (version 5x) Exports to your documents directory rather than your data directory for ease of capture and transmittal Optionally send a copy of the file as an email attachment (version 5x) You can create directory style and search friendly links in the feed to match those in your store Template layout allows you to set the product data in the order you want it You can even create xml feeds like <name>Widget</name> <price>9.95</price> or list your specials in a specific category for RSS output by this module In Merchant 4.14-4.2x with OpenUI, you have the option of parsing OpenUI tokens in the product descriptions if they can be parsed in admin (many can but some may not) The Merchant 5.x version of the module comes with five (Froogle (Google base), Yahoo, Shopzilla, Google Sitemap XML, Pricegrabber) pre-defined formats already configured Minor changes are needed for your url or search friendly links You'll need to create custom product fields and assign values in them for the Shopzilla, Yahoo and many other feeds Many ecommerce search services are not free, so you'll need to create accounts and pay applicable fees prior to feed submissions (Froogle is free) You can even use this module to submit bulk uploads to the free Google Base which lets you define the columns you are going to submit Improve search engine optimization (seo) by creating a Google Sitemap XML file Some of our example feeds in this store are Froogle (Google base) Yahoo Shopzilla Google Sitemap Rearrange fields to fit the format of the shopping search index Include custom fields not found in the standard MIVA Merchant products database (year, actors, director, etc.) Include category matching so if the index uses a different or additional categorization, you can meet their requirements (Yahoo uses your category and theirs, Shopzilla has their own category ID system) Steps Apply to the search directory, e.g. Google, Yahoo, Shopzilla, PriceGrabber, and others to be included in their program Install this module and run it FTP/upload resulting flat file to the applicable search indexes Online overview and initial setup instructions for our MIVA Merchant modules.

Reviewer: Bernard in Lawrenceville, United States 08/17/2007 This is an excellent module. We utilize this tool to generate data feeds for several shopping sites as well as a datafeed for our affiliates. I read about many people that struggle creating datafeeds for their products but this module really simplifies the process and is very flexible.
