Extra Template Manager Pro Module Help for MIVA
Merchant v5
Module
Descriptions and Features
Store Designers, Developers and Administrators, now
you can have ultimate control
of Extra Merchant Content and Emails by creating and using Extra MIVA Merchant Templates with our Template based Email system. This module provides for an an unlimited number of Extra Store Morph Technology(SMT) based Templates. These templates can then be rendered in, or emailed from any Merchant SMT enabled template. This can be very useful in using, re-using and emailing extra static and dynamic content throughout your store, providing one place to quickly manage it all.
Some example uses for module's extra template rendering capabilities are: Category Tree Headers/Footers, Category or Product Page layout variations, Additional Content area(s) placed anywhere in your Store Templates; content such as News, Events, Schedules, Trade shows, FAQ's, Contact Information, Messages, etc...
Extra Template Manager Pro also allows you to email the Extra Templates, in HTML or TEXT format, from any SMT Merchant template, for any reason. Store logic can be used to trigger the emails and the email templates can be used and re-used. Since the Item Render token controls the To, From, Subject and CC information, the same email templates can be sent using different Email information. This provides for a quick and convenient way to manage your extra email templates.
Some example uses for module's extra template emailing capabilities are: HTML Customer Confirmation Email, HTML Merchant Notification Email, Welcome New User Email, Contact Forms, Tell a Friend Forms, Information Requests, Automated Coupon Delivery, etc...
The module also provides new MivaScript Parameter Functions that allow for assignment, evaluation and use of new Merchant variables, at run-time, right from the template. The variable assignment can utilize Merchant variables, MivaScript expressions and built-in functions. Variable values can then be used as SMT entities for display or in the IF statements and FOR loops.

- Module includes five Render Tokens in order to provide various methods for rendering and emailing available templates, and also for assigning and evaluating variables and executing built-in MivaScript functions. Depending on a type of Token used, additional information such as Email Header Parameters may also need to be included.
- "render" Token provides a way to render the contents of Extra Template in any other SMT enable merchant template. This is very useful in using and re-using additional content in template(s) of your choice, providing one place to quickly manage it. Some example uses are: Category Tree Headers/Footers, Category or Product Page layout variations, additional content area(s) placed anywhere in your Store Template; content such as News, Events, Schedules, Trade shows, FAQ's, Contact Information, Messages, etc...
- "emailhtml" Token provides a way to HTML Email the rendered contents of Extra Template from any other SMT enable merchant template. This is can be very useful in sending HTML formatted emails from anywhere in the Merchant system, for any reason. The email templates can be used and re-used, and since the Item Render token controls the To, From, Subject and CC information the same email templates can be be sent using different Headers. This provides a quick and convenient way to manage your email templates. Some example uses are: HTML Customer Confirmation Email, HTML Merchant Notification Email, Welcome New User Email, Contact Forms, Tell a Friend Forms, Information Requests, Automated Coupon Delivery, etc...
- "emailtext" Token provides a way to TEXT Email the rendered contents of Extra Template from any other SMT enable merchant template. This is can be very useful in sending unformatted TEXT emails from anywhere in the Merchant system, for any reason. The email templates can be used and re-used, and since the Item Render token controls the To, From, Subject and CC information the same email templates can be be sent using different Headers. This provides a quick and convenient way to manage your email templates. Some example uses are: TEXT Customer Confirmation Email, TEXT Merchant Notification Email, Welcome New User Email, Contact Forms, Tell a Friend Forms, Information Requests, Automated Coupon Delivery, etc...
- "mvassign" Token provides a way to assign and use new variables at run-time right from your template. The variable assignment can utilize MivaScript expressions and built-in functions. Variable values can then be used as SMT entities for display or in the IF statements and FOR loops.
- "mveval" Token provides a way to evaluate MivaScript expressions and built-in functions at run-time right from your template. It works just like the mvassign token, except the expression result is rendered, not assigned to a variable.
NOTE: Caution should be taken in using MivaScript parameter Functions, since they allow you to directly create and modify Merchant Variables, Arrays, and Execute Built-In functions, right from the template, at run time.
