Hi Jonathan,

Yes, you sure can use the custom fields in the PROD page layout. You do still need to assign them on the Product Display Layout tab in order to use them in other parts of the page.

Is it possible to use the custom fields in the PROD Page layout also? I’m having success using them in the Product Display Layout, but I would like to be able to reference them also in the Page layout (Page tab) and I’m striking out there.

Comment on Miva Merchant: Customer Account Creation on INVC Page by Tiny Queen

Unfortunately, you’re correct Mark, that is a downside to this method of account creation. The best route would be a module that would associate the order with the account but I’m afraid at the moment this would be a custom project as I’m not aware of a module that currently does this. Alternatively, you could use something like the tool kit to run a small php script to modify the MySQL database and update the record. The benefit of a module using the API over this method is that the script might break in a future update of Miva.

A problem we’re having with this method is this first order from a new customer. It’s not linked to their newly created account because the account is created after placing the order. Is there a way around that?

Hi Margo,

There are a couple of ways to do this. Each button’s input tag can be edited by clicking your store name, and then clicking the tab for Buttons on the right hand side. Then, over on the right hand side beside the button you want to edit, you’ll see a link for Show Code. If you click that, you can access the input tag, and edit it to add your css class. Be aware that if you click Hide Code it will reset to the original, so you’ll want to leave it set on Show Code.

Editing it this way will update the entire site with that css class. You may not want the class on all of your save buttons, in which case you can easily replace the mvt:item tag with a regular input tag, with your css class added.

just saw your post. I was having same problem and I think hiding the select is way better than iframe (which will be depricated sooner or later) and if your using html 5 doctype. but I did it using jquery,


function hide_select(id) {
    if($('#'+d+'').is(':visible')) {
        $('#'+d+'').css("visibility", "hidden");
    } else {
        $('#'+d+'').css("visibility", "visible");

    }
    
}

Thanks! Cheers!
