Those are index files for Merchant/Mivascript DBF files...you are in the
Merchant or Miva data directory. The scripts are in another directory
branch, which is the same branch as the sites html files.

That is a could WAY to start. As far as Where to start, making modifications
to the Merchant (mmui.mv) source code is as good as any.

Hi,

I just started to use Miva Merchant. I have a couple of beginning
questions. Could someone help me so I can get started?

1) I know if you compile .mv files, they will become .mvc files and can
be run on Virtual Machine. When I browse files on our host provider's
machine, they are all .mvx files. What are they?

2) I have compiler, Miva mia, and limited source code installed on my
machine (Windows XP). Can I actually setup a store and modify the code
(scripts and modules) to see my modification? Like when you are
developing a VB application, you can run the application (e.g. call
main()), see the application's user interface, then continue to do the
development. I do not know where to start with Miva source code
modification and testing.

Thanks.


Holly Li

Well, ya can do it that way, or you can REPLACE the mmui.mvc with your
MMUI-MMLSK.mv compiled as mmui.mvc...you can even rename it as mymmui.mvc if
you want, just note that it will create "ui" specific databases under
directory named after your ui module module code (ie, /mymmui)

If you want to modify the MMUI-MMLSK.mv module and use it instead of MMUI,
you'll need to add it to Merchant using "Add Module" since MMUI-MMLSK is
actually treated as a separate module from MMUI, if that makes sense.
