Wow Wow Widgets are blocks of easily customizable templates that are dynamically displayed on any MIVA Merchant 5 page. A widget can contain text, html, or MIVA Merchant's template scripting code. Widgets are flexible and reusable, can be easily edited and duplicated, and can be used to display dynamic content - including products, categories, and baskets - anywhere.
An ingenious module that makes MIVA Merchant 5 even easier to customize and provides advanced, admin-friendly control of the contents and layout of your store's pages.
Six Types of Widgets – Standard, Product Display, Category Listing, Category Listing (Random Products), Basket Content Display & Variables – are available.
New Features:
- Randomized Listing of Products – A new type of Category Widget can be used to display a listing or product which changes everytime the page is displayed. Great for listing featured products on the storefront.
- Display of Sub-Categories – A new feature for the Category Widget. Sub-categories for a selected category can be displayed - listing can included category codes, category names, total products in the categories, and links to the categories.
- Variables Widget – An entirely new type of widget. Custom variables can now be added to any template or page. As many as 22 variables can be utilized and displayed – including numbers, formatted prices & text.
- Basket Tokens – The Basket Widget has new tokens for total quantity, total weight & total basket charges.
See the Widget Token Reference for a list of all available tokens and examples of how to use them.
Widgets can be used to display: a mini-basket in the sidebar of any page; one or more category listings on the storefront and on any other page; mini-category listings anywhere, with links to the category page; products on any page; multiple headers and footers; blocks of dynamic content that are reused in specific place through out the store; and just about anything else, anywhere.
By adding a content management layer, the Wow Wow Widgets module makes it easier to include, edit and manage content within MIVA Merchant 5.
