CIM Tool Kit II For MIVA Merchant Developers
The CIM Tool Kit is a collection of MIVAscript applets designed to help MIVA Merchant Version 1.x developers build custom features into the stores they operate or have been hired to customize. The modules for Merchant version 1.x will not work in a Merchant version 2.x store.
Rather than telling your client that you or they will have to license a module to do a specific task, you can enhance your credibility by using code from this tool kit. In most cases, use of just one of these applets in one store is worth your saved development time. If you are new to MIVAscripting, you will probably find that studying the techniques in these applets can shorten your learning time.
Your license number is your Customer ID. As condition of my copyright, you cannot re-sell or transfer your license of these applets to other people or companies. While you can incorporate the modules into stores which you do not own, but are hired to customize, the applets are licensed to you. You are also responsible for the tech support to stores which you have customized using these modules.
MIVA Applets
- User Interface
Giftlist.mv - Gift List Registry can be used by couples for wedding registry, by children making their birthday or Christmas list, or that "significant other" who wants to be surprised by not knowing the specific item they are going to receive.
- Gift List shopping allows a person(s) to select a list of products they would like to have. They place the products into their shopping basket. Then, rather than checkout and pay for the items, they save them to a Gift List Registry.
- Then, you as the gift giver, can review the list and select the item or items you would like to give them.
Pageview.mv - This is a function library which provides you with
alternate screen views for your products. Compare the category for Herald with the other movie poster categories for layout. Also of significance is that the shopper can select the sort order they want to view the data in (name, code, price).
Express.mv - Express order allows a shopper to enter several product codes and desired quantities and add to the basket with one submission. It does not accept products which require more than a code and quantity, ie no products with attributes.
- Mmlt.mv - This function file translates variables within the mmui.mv into the correct language strings selected by the customer. Multiple language plug-ins are available in the MIVA Exchange or you can develop your own for your particular needs. You change the menu prompts and other strings you want translated into variables and the mmlt.mv will convert them from the language files. The welcome and thank you messages can also be coded to change based on the language selected with "hooks" in your mmui. You will need to supply those translations.
- Baskstat.mv - Perpetual basket displays on the store front, the number of items and the current dollar value of the order.
- Cim_mmui.mv - Documented mmui.mv for improving developer understanding of the Merchant mmui.mv. Contains a numbered Table of Contents (TOC) for easier location of code to modify. It also contains code examples at insertion points of many of the Tool Kit modules.
- Customer Management (CM) installs as two modules (customer interface and customer admin) - developers edit the mmui.mv to insert the appropriate hooks to use CM (10 minutes for the average MIVAscript writer)
Customers can have their name and address information automatically filled in when they order on subsequent visits after their first
Customer information maintained in a database which can be FTPd to a PC for further use in other PC programs (eg for customer mailing)
Customer account data is password protected
- Password chosen by the customer
- Customer can change their own password
- Lost passwords can be replaced by the customer via automated new password generation sent to the email address in their record (email includes IP address, time and date of replacement request)
- Admin can reissue a new password if necessary
Order status on all of a customer's orders can be viewed in their account area
- Tracking numbers, entered through admin, display in the customer account and the status update email
- Admin changes the order status and optionally sends the customer an order status email which can vary based on the style of the status email chosen
Admin can run a end of day-productivity report for all dates, a range of dates, or a specific date displaying all records or just the records with a specific status
Additional customer fields for discounting and restricted access
- Discount Management and Access Control (privileges) managed from the admin module
- Use the built in functions to retrieve the value for use in your merchant.mv and mmui.mv for
- Set amount or percentage discounting
- Control access to the whole store, individual categories (eg the Adult Cinema category requires a higher access level than most frequent customers) or even individual fields
- Productivity and Inventory Management
- Im.mv - The inventory management allows you to track stock levels of your products online. As orders are fulfilled, the level is decremented. Customers can be blocked from ordering when levels reach zero. They can also be blocked from ordering more products than are on-hand. You need to have a field in your products database called quantity and you have to supply the initial quantity levels.
You can re-establish inventory levels for a product when an order has been cancelled or new quantities are put in your inventory either individually or use prodmore.mv for mass inventory updates
You can run a Stock Level Report to determine which items are nearing depletion
- Shipping
- World Zone Shipping - allows the store to group one or more of the countries listed in the Merchant
country database into World Zones. You can have as many zones as you want, and within each zone you
can have multiple shipping methods.
Subtot_z.mv - Calculates shipping cost based on amount of order and what part of the world the order is being shipped to.
Flatzone.mv - Calculates shipping cost based on a flat rate and what part of the world the order is being shipped to.
Basewt_z.mv - Calculates shipping cost based on a base amount plus a rate per weight unit and what part of the world the order is being shipped to.
- Subtotal.mv - Calculates shipping cost based on the subtotal of the order.
- Basenum.mv - Calculates shipping cost based on number of items ordered.
- Currency Format
- Ptmoney.mv - Formats currency for Portugal.
- Itmoney.mv - Formats currency for Italy.
- Brmoney.mv - Formats currency for Brazil.
- Fulfillment
- Mercmail.mv - Sends the customer a confirmation email of their order.
The customer making the order can also choose to have a confirmation email sent to the ship to addressee when the shipping and billing addresses are different.
- Addendum.mv - This module allows you to collect supplemental responses from customers at checkout. You can add as many questions to your form as you want. The responses are exported to a delimited text file which can be imported into most database management systems for further analysis. You can also have those responses appear in the Email notification and batch processing (acctadd.mv).
- Import
Prodmore.mv - Provides for the import from a flat file any number of additional fields you may have added to your products database.
- Export
Exprdcat.mv - This export module creates a flat file from your products database. It also includes the category code for each product to make reimport into categories possible.
Flatord2.mv - This module exports the orders to the orders.dat. This file differs from the MIVA supplied export since it also exports the category name. This allows easy assignment of orders to profit centers (categories) so that you can better evaluate your business.
- Order Processing
Acctadd.mv - This batch processing module will display the additional information collected at checkout if you are using addendum.mv.
- Utilities
- Imgcheck.mv - This applet checks your products database for image links, then checks the path to make sure the images are there. It only looks in your domain for the the images so if you are linking to images off-site, it cannot check those.
