Greetings all and welcome to the next installment of Matt’s Musings or Episode V: The Images Strike Back. This month we’re going to look at the product images and how to easily add more of them to the product page.
I’ll start by saying that there are a lot of methods to add multiple images to your product page ranging from using HTML in your product description to third-party modules. What I am going to show is how to add the images using only the built-in Miva Merchant custom product fields, Emporium Plus’s Tool Kit module, a little JavaScript and a dash of CSS. The additional product images will need to be sized to match the product’s full-size image, we will create the faux thumbnails through that dash of CSS.

With the new Miva Merchant (Wombat / PR7) release barely a month old, if you haven’t implemented the new features into your store, here’s a guide to get you started in the right direction.
To ensure that Miva Merchant upgrades won’t change or break the look & feel of your store, all new updates never make any template changes to existing stores. So, in order to take advantage of new features of the software you will have to go in and make the template changes manually. Here’s a little help to smooth the process as you go in and make the changes yourself.
This guide assumes you have already upgraded your store to Miva Merchant 5.5 PR7 (Wombat) through the admin.
Today started with a presentation from Janet Miller, CEO of Search Mojo, who gave some great actionable advice. Rand presented next with some correlation data followed by Q&A with Matt Cutts of Google and Sasi Parthasarathy of Microsoft Bing.
Janet Miller, Search Mojo Presentation notes:
Why worry about Bing?
Similar user engagement to Google
Strong pages/visit, bounce rate and time on site metrics with visits from Bing search
Indexable content control
XML Sitemaps
Bing does not accept video or news sitemaps while Google does.
Submit sitemaps to Google Webmaster Tools and Bing Webmaster Center
