My Favorites QuickList Module Help for MIVA Merchant v5

Frequently Asked Questions

Question: After installing the module it worked fine, but after some modifications to the PROD page template, it reverted back to the Miva default product layout, with no Add to Favorites button. Everything else works but I can no longer add items to My Favorites from the product page.

Answer: This can happen if Product Display Layout is set in point and click mode, even though our template is selected in the version history. Here is a quick solution:

  1. Expand your store link
  2. Click on Pages under your store
  3. Select PROD page to edit
  4. Click on the Product Display Layout tab at the top
  5. Select ADS modified My Favorites Original template in the version history box and click restore.
  6. Click on the Advanced mode under the version history
  7. Click update at the bottom of the page
  8. You may want to name this template in the notes field to make it easy to identify

Doing this should prevent the template from being reset in the future. Just make sure you do not switch back to point and click mode.


Question: Is there a way to add the "Add to Favorites" button to my Category, Search and Product List pages?

Answer: Yes. Just copy and paste the following code somewhere inside the Add to Basket form on the Category, Search and Product List pages.

<input type="hidden" name="Current_Screen" value="&mvta:global:Screen;">
<input type="submit" name="myfavorites" value="Add to Favorites">

NOTE: If your product contains attributes, make sure the attributes are available on those pages or the saved items will not contain any attributes.


Question: Can I use my own images for the various buttons used in your module instead of the standard form buttons?

Answer: Yes. Just convert the provided Submit buttons to Image buttons. Use an example below.

On The product pages change this:
<input type="submit" name="myfavorites" value="Add to Favorites">

to this:
<input type="image" src="yourimage" width="xx" height="yy" border="0" name="myfavorites" value="Add to Favorites">

NOTE: Make sure you do not change the button names or My Favorites QuickList features will not work.
