Other Page Templates (http://www.jmhonline.net/miva-modules/page+templates) from viking can do this and much more.

Although OPT Templates by Viking coders (www.vikingocders.com)will give you greater flexibilty, you can do this natively by selecting it in the Product List or Search sections of the Edit Store screen: >Stores >Your Store | Product List
or
>Stores >Your Store | Search

Score 1 for free solution, Bruce, not requiring a module. ;-)

Sometimes the simplest solution is the one that doesn't cost anything and is already included in virtually all versions of MIVA Merchant.

Free solutions definitely rule!

[Bruce - PhosphorMedia]

Actually, there are no "free" solutions. All "solutions" to creating a store front that provides what you believe you need for your customers cost money. The money may be in the form of an addition to your credit card bill, loose change from your couch, long sleepless nights, or just a minor distraction while you talk over plans for dinner.

However, in this case, the non-cash extended method is actually the fastest and least expediture of time.

Other people would consider $0 versus $70 "free". The cost of implementing the solution is another matter.

[Bruce - PhosphorMedia]

Then, they are over looking a valuable point in business...that time spent is money spent...but then, that is just my opinion.

[jason - jmh web services]

Not really. Time has nothing to do with with $0 versus $70. Time to implement either solution costs money whether it is free or not.

[Bruce - PhosphorMedia]

Well, then I guess I didn't express myself clearly.

There are no "free" solutions unless one decides that the solution is to do nothing. (And, that decision, was instantanious.).

There are free modules, free methods, free web sites, free "assistance", etc...but, module, web site, assistance don't DO anything.

Doing something, whether you are using a free module, free advice or purchasing a module, or hiring someone just to provide the solition, takes some amount of time, and therefore impacts your business in much the same way as actual cash outlays.

Whether a free solution is cheaper than one that costs money is entirely dependent on:

cost of materials (if any) + time to implement/use materials + cost to estimate cost.

The individual sums of the above equation vary with each solution. Consider the number of times we have seen individuals spend possibly hours deciding between Vikingcoders and Weiland's PayPal module. Unless the store owner is paying him/her self less than 10/hr...the cost of just making the decision is more expensive than the module. (And then their is the cost, even with this simple module, of installing it and setting it up.)

Hope that is clearer.

No, but that's alright.
