    Re: Miva and CVV code



    No. I'm saying dump one or the other. I've never been to your site/store
    or know your situation.

    Re: Miva and CVV code



    Hola. I am having a problem with my static search form.

    Here is the code I pasted in from the viking coders tutorial with a couple
    of slight mods:

    <form Style="display:inline" FORM METHOD = "post" ACTION
    ="<A HREF ="http://www.sermonvideos.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?>">http://www.sermonvideos.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?></A>
    <INPUT TYPE = "hidden" NAME = "Store_Code" VALUE = "storecode">
    <INPUT TYPE = "hidden" NAME = "Screen" VALUE = "SRCHM">
    <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="Search_desc" VALUE="1">
    <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="Search_name" VALUE="1">
    <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="Search_keys" VALUE="1">
    <INPUT TYPE = "hidden" NAME = "BrokSearch_Have_List_Fields" VALUE="1">
    <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="Search_search" SIZE="22" VALUE="" style="position:
    relative; top: 2; border-style: solid; border-width: 1">
    <input type="image" name="submit" align="middle" src="newestgobutton8.gif"
    width="29" height="19">
    </form>



    When I try to search for something, it gives me a "404 not found error"
    and this is what is shown in the URL Address bar:
    <A HREF ="http://www.sermonvideos.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?><INPUT%20TYPE%20=">http://www.sermonvideos.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?><INPUT%20TYPE%20=</A>

    Here is a link to the store for a try:

    <A HREF ="http://www.sermonvideos.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?">http://www.sermonvideos.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?</A>

    Thanks for any help!

      Speaking on your Paid Adwords -
      Your ads performance are naturally related to how much you bid for
      position, BUT also if your ad is not as popular on click thru as one
      that may not be bidding as much as yourself, they will show up higher
      on the page. I would take a real hard look at what you are targeting
      and what key words or phrases you are using to trigger the ad. Afaik
      know - not a fact - only heard through the grapevine, if you are too
      haphazard about keywords for your ad and you do get high click thru's
      but the shopper doesn't find what they want and then click back right
      away; somehow google figures this out and sees the result as not
      relevant in that it was quickly determined to be a waste of time...hope
      that makes some sense.
      One real basic example that some overlook with the adwords - say you
      were Acme Widgets and have an ad for Super Gold Plated Widgets and on
      click the ad runs them to your storefront, big mistake - you should
      instead land them on the Gold Plated Widgets page.
      __________________________________________________ ______________________

      What type of links did your store map have ?
      Should have had SFL directory style along with your whole store.

      The main moral with dynamic SFL or static html links and pages is to
      use one or the other and stick with it.
      If you have a site that is getting hammered by the spiders and traffic
      to where it is a problem; using the static pages is the key for server
      performance and in that case you block the spider from /Merchant2/
      directory via the robots.txt file to prevent the illusion to the spider
      of duplicate content and plowing thru and calling dynamic pages.
      __________________________________________________ ______________________
      ____

      Being that the root of this new dilemma is related to duplicate content
      and server performance or load - my gut tells me that the static html
      solution has merit, but then that flys in the face of the whole reason
      sites are built with database driven backends and create pages on call
      in the first place. Now because a spider is going to load a server or
      because someone can get so much traffic that the dynamic generated site
      and server can't handle it we have to revert back to static page
      management....??? This being such great solution; then why hasn't all
      the great engineers at Miva built the new templated mouse trap to
      conveniently and accurately produce and manage a site run in html ???
      That would seem to me logical if the move to static pages for high load
      site is totally sound. What then are the big players like umm Compusa,
      HomeDepot, BestBuy, Lowes, Costco, Ciruitcity and so on running ??? I'm
      sure it ain't static sites - oh yes don't even start with me about
      zillion dollar budgets - just want to understand the mechanics....
      I did hear that ebay runs separate and mirrored servers for each
      individual category browsed so as soon as you hit a category you go to
      that server and even if it choked you'd never know because it's twin
      picks up the ball... Wowser (my neighbor works for a big time company
      involved with that stuff and he said Miva ????..sorry come again...)

        Ditto, as painful as it seems, RUN don't walk to a new host, (you will
        eventually anyway) and save yourself an enormous amount of aggravation.

        Using Interland for hosting is a huge mistake. Though I do have personal
        experience with their horrible service, that's not just MHO. It's been a
        topic many times before on this list.

        Interland will not help you solve Miva problems, even though almost every
        problem you'll experience with Miva Merchant will be due to the way they set
        up their servers. They will continually have you ask Miva to solve your
        problems. Miva will tell you it's a problem with your host and you'll be
        caught in a circle of frustration where you don't know who to blame.

        If you leave Interland (and you should - like TODAY!), make sure that if
        they registered your domain, they have not assigned themselves as the owner
        or technical contact for the domain. They did that with our domains and then
        illegally sold a domain extension which we had registered through them after
        we left (they were supposed to transfer all of the domains to our new host
        and sold that one claiming we never owned it even though it had pointed to
        our main domain), offering NO legitimate explanation other than to refund
        our money.

        That is why seven years later, we still do not own the aquariumpros.net
        variation of our domain. Now that it's been bought by one of those huge
        domain farms, we never will. That's only one horror story of hundreds that
        you'll find if you do a search on the list archives.

        Trust me - blame Interland first, ask questions later!

        Hi, I'm using miva on a domain hosted on Interland. The problem is that I
        need to implement the CVV code for credit card processing. Now I don't see
        that option and the Interland support team asked me to vrite to a miva
        techincian to know if it is possible to implement it.

        So the question is: can I buy a module that implements CVV and install it on
        the interland miva server?

        Thanks, to all.
