Does anyone know an easy way to get the product information and add to basket button under the product image rather than beside it.

Since I'll be moving this to Miva 5 next year I don't want to purchase a module to do this

You cant, without OpenUI and a module.

With MM5 you can do it easily out of the box.

I do have open UI but you say I need a module too

Not really surprise, seems like you need a module to look cross eye in Miva....

You're going to need modiules in MM5 too. Just not as many.

I'm surprised daily at the number of people so anti-module when MIVA Merchant was designed to be a modular solution....

Anti-module???...that is a good one.

I must have purchased and installed at least 50 modules for this store in the past 4 years. In fact I am considering joining the local chapter of module anonymous.

Now to upgrade to Miva 5 ALL those modules are all obsolete. Good thing I am not a conspiracy theorist :) The only saving grace is that a COUPLE of them are no longer needed.

All I can say is thank god for the people who write the modules. It is the saving grace....otherwise Miva would have been history for me long ago. Even M-5 is lacking some rudimentary functionality.

Every time I talk to a first rate webmaster the first thing they want to do is dump Miva. But I hang on the Miva/module-holic that I am :)

Each module means that you must deal with that developers support (some very bad), attitude, quirks, missing functions, bugs and in many cases documentation that is seriously lacking.

To top all of that off I now have two stores: so it is double my pleasure.... So forgive me if I would like to store buying modules for this obsolete version of Miva IV.

Meanwhile I am just trying to get by with M-IV until I make the jump M-5. It seems like the very first answer in this forum is always: a module. Since the forum is so prolific with people selling modules that is to be expected but you can't blame a person for looking not to purchase a module that is going to be obsolete in a couple months.

I do have Display Wizard Pro as well, perhaps I can make that work for now.......

v4.24 is hardly obsolete.

In fact I happen to think it is much more usable and flexible than the current MM5 product....because of the modules available.

Perhaps jumping to MM5 isnt the right move at this time. Unless there are specific features of MM5 you absolutely cannot do with out.

Thanks, I have been working with M-IV for four years now and I am really over it....

M- V shows promise. I am using both now and the M-IV store is most certainly is making the leap to M-V next year.
