I have received numerous requests for some code I wrote to password protect a product page in Miva Merchant 5 (or 5.5), so I thought I’d share it here. This code was originally written for a site that wanted to implement custom product pricing using the Emporium Plus External Product Purchase module, but wanted to ensure that only staff members could access the page.
Note: This code requires the Tool Kit from Emporium Plus. If you have a Miva Merchant 5 (or 5.5) store, the Tool Kit is an immensely valuable module that allows developers and store owners enormous flexibility in customizing their stores. It is beyond worth the money (and no, I don’t get anything for saying so except the satisfaction of spreading the word about an extremely useful tool).
To use the code below:
- Set up an availability group, and assign authorized customers to this group.
- Substitute your desired product code where indicated by the text YOUR_PRODUCT_CODE_HERE (2 places).
- Substitute your availability group name (not code!) for the AVAILABILITY_GROUP_NAME in the code below.
This code is designed to work on the main screen of the regular PROD page. If you’re using a template manager, you can remove the conditional that tests for the product code.
If you’re using Miva 5 (instead of 5.5), you’ll want to replace <mvt:item name=”html_profile” /> with <html> and <mvt:item name=”head” param=”head_tag” /> with <mvt:item name=”head” />
<mvt:item name="html_profile" />
<head>
<title>&mvt:store:name;: &mvt:product:name;</title>
<base href="&mvt:global:basehref;">
<mvt:item name="head" param="head_tag" />

You’ve got a really great website and very informational blog Leanne. Wow. I should visit here more often!

This is a great tip! And the toolkit is definitely invaluable.
