Getting Started

[Brennan]

I wanted to post some helpful getting started links/suggestions here. Anyone else feel free to post helpful tips you have picked up along the way.

Videos

Before you start I would recommend watching the videos:

Latest Engine

Before you install the framework make sure your engine is on the latest version (or at a minimum 5.18)

Need a developer store to test things (its free)?

If you installed the older version of this framework we released an update 2/18/2014. Below is a link to the template changes if needed. The current version (1.1.1) of the framework already has these changes made.

Another place to learn about bootstrap itself is here http://getbootstrap.com/

Re: Getting Started

I did not get the js file for the SFNT carousel. Was I supposed to? My version is Bootstrap 3.1.0 based framework for Miva Merchant. Version: 1.1.1 -- Release Date: 02/18/2014.

Also when logging in via FTP on the developer stores, what happens when we hit 50 of our 50 logins?

Where are the docs?

There are no docs in the current bootstrap framework release, just the pkg file

The install pdf should be in the zip file.

Otherwise, everything you need to know about how to use Bootstrap is at: http://getbootstrap.com/css/

Hope this helps,

Re: Getting Started

Thanks for the PDF. The zip only has the pkg file at this time.

Re: Getting Started

We just updated the bootstrap download to include some pdf instructions. This version does not need the skincust.mvc module like the last one did. That functionality is replaced by built in readyThemes

Re: Getting Started

Thanks! The base ready theme is totally different than the other bootstrap framework you started out with, all the bootstrap related videos on this site are out of date as far as installing the current readyTheme is concerned.

Are there any docs on creating this kind of all encompassing readyTheme for Miva Merchant?

Re: Getting Started

We're in the process of updating the videos to reflect the updated framework.

Here are the new videos along with information on how to build and sell themes if you're interested:
