Hello everyone,
We have just set up a development environment (on a Miva hosted server). It is a subdomain of our main site. We do fairly heavy customization of the theme and want to be able to test the changes in our dev environment before ‘pushing’ them to the live site. My question is this, once the modifications have been tested and confirmed on the dev environment, what are your best practices for moving those changes to the live site? I am fairly new to the Miva ecosystem so any help is appreciated.
Just so I am clear, let me give you a scenario. Let’s say I’m asked to make several theme modifications to the BASK, OSEL, and OPAY pages. Those changes touch the Template, Basket Contents, Content sections on each page. Once testing is done, what is the best way to move those changes to the live system. Are these code modifications database entries? Do I need to make a complete copy of the dev files and database and export / import them into the live site (this seems like over-kill)?
I am absolutely sure many of you already have a best-practice for doing your staging and pushing to live, so I would love to hear how you handle it. We are on Miva 9.00064
