Miva Merchant 4 Module FAQs » Product Page Templates (BROK_PRODTEMPLATES )
In order for the Product Page Templates module to know which product it is displaying with respect to the other products in the category it needs to know what category it is in and which product is on. Your static link lacks both of these values (which the standard %prodnameL% token automatically adds). Change your static link to:
<a href="merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=%prodcode%&Category_Code=%catcode%&Product_Count=%var|g.Prod_Count|%" title="%prodname% %catname%">%prodname%</a>
and it should fix the problem.
%next% and %previous% Tokens Not Functioning After Changing %prodnameL% Token
I recently changed the %prodnameL% token in the Category Page Templates module with my own html so that I could add an image title:
<a href="merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=%prodcode%" title="%prodname% %catname%">%prodname%</a>
However, now the %next% and %previous% tokens aren't working in the Product Page Templates module (i.e. they are not appearing). (2003/06/16)

- Is it possible to modify the contents of the "select" type attibutes?
- I would like to have my attributes display differently within a single product depending on the attribute. For example, I would like the first "select" type attribute to have a default of <Select One> but only the first one.
- I'm not displaying the attributes on my product page so I'm not using the %attributes% token. However, I want the customer to be prompted to select the attributes when they add the product to their basket, but it isnt' working. How can I do that?
- When I use the code: %begin_if|len(OUI_Products2.d.shortdesc)|% it sometimes shows the short description for some other product.

- I'm running into problems in that some of my tokens are not being processed correctly. For example, I'm trying to do this: %begin_if|%module|modcode:position%|% ... %end_if%but it just generates errors or the %module simply shows up on the page. What could be wrong?
- In the PROD TEMPLATE, is there a way to use tokens in the "Add to Basket alt:"
- I am unable to find tokens for the following fields in the Product Page. Product Display Header: Product Display Footer: Sub-Global Header: Sub-Global Footer:
- How do I conditionally test for the existence of an image on the server (not the image assigned to the product but one I upload myself)?
- I'd like to display my attribute options with their own "add to basket" button. Something like: product1 color1 <add to basket> color2 <add to basket> attribute2 color1 <add to basket> color2 <add to basket>Is this possible?
- I'm using the %attrqtybox|xx|% feature for some of my products but the products are not being added to the basket correctly. Any ideas?
- I would like to control the size of the text and memo fields in my attributes. How?
- I would like to use a token within another token, such as: %begin_if|%module|mymod|1|%|% stuf %end_if% But this isn't working correctly. Why?
- I would like to use the %begin_if|expression|% token to dispaly something if the product has a value in a field stored in the Additional Fields Manager (http://vikingcoders.com/go.mv?ID=DEN_PRODFIELDS). How can I go about it?
- I'm using your Affiliate Manager module and I would like to display some text only if the customer followed a particular affiliate's referral link. How can I do that?
- I would like to use the "attribute quantity" feature that you recently added to the module to let my customers select quantities for each attribute. However, instead of text fields, I would like to use drop down lists so that they can select the quantities. Can this be done?
- Is there a token I can us to display the fonts as I set them in admin?
- I am attempting to use a token from a third party module in the "Product template" area but it's not working. What might be causing this?
- I have a checkbox attribute that I want to default as checked. I normally would use a VMod, but can't with Cat page templates. Do you have any ideas how I could do this with your module?
- Using the new attribute quantity feature, I would like to make sure that the customer selects a set number of attributes. For example, I'm selling a three pack of soap and I would like them to select a color for each item in the "pack". How can I go about this?
- I would like to have quantity boxes for my attributes so customers can select a quantitiy for each one rather than having to add the same product several times. For example, I sell fishing flies in different sizes and I would like my customers to be able to go to a product page and enter the quantity that they want for each size. Can I do this?
- I would like to customize the titles for my Product pages. How can I do this?
- The prices displayed by the module are not properly displaying the price calculated by my discount module. How can I get it to correctly display the price?

- Is there any way to introduce additional product images?
- The price of some of my products is determined by the attributes but I don't want to display the 0.00 price for those products. Can I hide the price just for those products?
- I recently changed the %prodnameL% token in the Category Page Templates module with my own html so that I could add an image title:<a href="merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=%prodcode%" title="%prodname% %catname%">%prodname%</a> However, now the %next% and %previous% tokens aren't working in the Product Page Templates module (i.e. they are not appearing).
- I have a module which shows the price for an attribute automatically in the attribute box (so I don't have to manually code each one). However it doesn't appear to be compatible. Can I do this with the template modules?
- Displaying Attribute Price + Product Price, with a discount
- Can I configure the module so that the Related Products are added to the basket when the main product is added
- Can I configure the module so that I can add a "add all to basket" button for the Related Products so that I can specify a quantity for each and add them all at once?
