Get more morph from Store Morph. This module dramatically extends the Miva Merchant 5 page template language, adding
hundreds of new functions. Finally you can have the ability to create the pages you've always dreamed of. Included page
template files show many fully commented, real world examples of how you can script your pages to do things that once
required external modules. This module makes page templates a robust scripting environment.
Primary documentation is built into the module and always a mouse click away. The external
documentation includes the most
comprehensive listings of the internal MivaScript functions available
on the web. It clearly explains the most misunderstood aspects of Store Morph page templates and is a valuable resource
even of you don't need or use the module.
PCI Net Toolbelt is like giving your page designs mega vitamins. Bulk up your designs with
a tool that actually extend the language and expose the inner workings of Miva Merchant. The assign
component alone adds over 130 powerful new functions to your pages (see list below). The module contains an expression builder
that lets you lookup a categorized MivaScript function in a list, like toupper() or substring() get a description of what they do,
then copy and paste the resulting code into your templates. The expression builder won't replace the documentation, but
it will keep you from having to look it up so often. But that's just the beginning, there's much much more.
Installation is simple, requiring no extra steps or complex instructions. Simply purchase, download, install,
activate your license and get to work.
