Miva Merchant 9 Beta 3 Release Notes
New Features
New settings on the Attribute Machine, Product List and Product Display allow discounted prices to be calculated before a product is added to the basket and optionally displayed alongside or instead of the retail or base price of a product. A breakdown of the actual discounts that apply can also be displayed.
General Improvements
The Google Analytics module has been converted to use the new analytics.js script (Universal Analytics) and now supports enhanced ecommerce tracking features.
The software may now be configured to issue SET NAMES and SET CHARACTER SET statements when connecting to a MySQL database.
Additional modules and screens have been converted to the new MM9 user interface.
Product lists can now be searched for products within a category, using the advanced search dialog.
The Template Based Emails module now supports BCC.
Coupons may now be imported from CSV files.
Non-legacy price groups and coupons may now be managed through provisioning.
The volume pricing discount module can now display a volume pricing table for products in runtime.
The discounting subsystem now fully supports inventory variants.
A new mechanism allows external integrations that automatically log into the administrative interface to indicate that the session should be immediately expired after the request is complete by sending GET/POST field "TemporarySession" with a value of "1".
Other Changes
When assigning a customer account to an order in the administrative interface, the user is now asked if they wish to re-discount the order to reflect the new customer account.
Lookup screens within the administrative interface have been converted to dialog boxes.
The ReadyTheme module is now bundled with the core software.
