Handy Miva Merchant Tokens and Tags To Have

Domain URL

http://&mvt:global:domain:name;

Short Link Redirect

When switching from the long style links to the short style links, it’s always recommended to the search engines know that you have. This can easily done by adding a few lines to your .htaccess file.

From Brennan Heyde at Miva:

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^Screen=CTGY&Category_Code=(.*)$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/category/%1.html? [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^Screen=PROD&Product_Code=(.*)$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/product/%1.html? [R=301,L]

Or you can use this one, from David Hubbard at Miva:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/Merchant2/merchant.mvc
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} Screen=PROD&Product_Code=(.*) [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/product/%1.html [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/Merchant2/merchant.mvc
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} Screen=CTGY&Category_Code=(.*) [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/category/%1.html [R=301,L]

Keep in mind, that when using either one of these make sure the Query String matches exactly what your URLs look like. Use one or the other but not both. Insert the lines this line inserted by Miva Merchant:

RewriteRule ^mm5/admin.mvc? – [QSA,L]
