Shadows v2.0.0

[imcmole]

Hi Chris,

The cleaning up of the CSS and JavaScript files as well as the better processing of them have contributed to improving both LCP and FID ratings. Using Redis as well as a CDN, like CloudFlare, will help with the Core Web Vitals as well. As for CLS, many of the images have been configured to use lazy-loading as well as have their width and height defined. To see a working example, you can test the demonstration site: https://shadows.mivareadythemes.com/ .

Thanks, Matt. Can you send me a DM with a few production sites using Shadows 2.0? I'm trying to decide between improving current CLS issues on our Shadows 1.0 site versus a full rework to 2.0.

Hi Matt. Can you elaborate on the improvements tailored to Google's Core Web Vitals? Specifically, any improvements on CLS.

Also, can you share any live Shadows 2.0 deployments that I can take a look at?

Thx, Chris

I am on Safari Version 14.0 (15610.1.28.1.9, 15610) macOS Catalina 10.15.6 (19G2021)
I don't get quite the same thing as Zinbar but there is a problem with increment and decrement qty.

shopping cart: edit cart...
when I try to increase or decrease qty using the +/- symbol... if I click on the + or - symbol nothing happens. If I click in the square but NOT on the symbol, then the qty increments or decrements as it should.


NOTE: if I remove that span around the symbol and insert a character even the + or -, then it works. The span is the problem.

There's a guide for the Mailchimp installation here: https://docs.miva.com/how-to-guides/mailchimp

As far as the response goes... that's something you need to do directly in Mailchimp with an automation campaign (welcome message).

Thanks RTHOMASDESIGN for posting the video, that is exactly the behavior I have been seeing, was unaware of using LOOM to record.

Can someone share the code to make the V2 Shadows newsletter push to Mailchimp. I found code in 2 places.

MailChimp Newsletter Signup Layout - Under GLOBAL SETTINGS
Global Footer Newsletter Form Under CONTENT SECTIONS

I do not want to change the styling, just make it push the email and provide a response so the customer knows the form worked.

Also experiencing odd behavior on the basket page when adjusting quantities. Matt you can take a look at a screencast I recorded here:

https://www.loom.com/share/6fa6dbedd...a61ee894ac0e18

Tried in both Chrome & Firefox... same issues.

I am currently troubleshooting this issue.

Hi Earl,

Well, with the exception of RoboForm, that's the same configuration I am working with as well. I'll run some more tests and see if I can duplicate it. Have you tried clearing all cache?

Although Miva ships with the MailChimp module, I didn't want to make an assumption with the form. You would still have to modify it to use the MailChimp code if you are using the module.

Morning Matt,

It just did it for me on the demo site. Win 10 PRO, Chrome Version 85.0.4183.121 (Official Build) (64-bit). If you want to see it happen on my machine send me a private message and maybe we can remote in. It was also doing it on my home computer, same configuration. Both of these have a browser add in ROBOFORM password manager. If you think this is just related to my specifics we can drop it and wait to see if anyone else reports.

I do have a question about how to enable the homepage newsletter sign up box with Mailchimp in Shadows 2.0. Since Shadows is the default theme and Mailchimp a native module I thought it would change the code. Maybe i missed something, lots of new things to digest!

Thanks
Earl

Anyone else seeing this, V2 Shadows when you add 1 of an item to cart. Then Edit Cart and click the + to increase quantity. Item goes to 0 and is removed. Have tested in Chrome and Edge. Miva 10 in a dev store, maybe I have something set wrong but wanted to advise.

I am not able to duplicate this. Can you test the demonstration site [ https://shadows.mivareadythemes.com/ ] and tell me if it still happens? If so, can you provide your browser and computer specifics?

I'll take any tips I can get! Thanks Eric.

Hi Leslie and Jamie

I have filed a bug on the Framework description not being updated after update to mm10. However if you apply the shadows framework after update it will apply the new shadows v2.0 to your store. Its just the description in admin that didn’t get updated.

This will only happen on stores that already had shadows uploaded before update to mm10. If you create a new store after update, or update a store that has doesn't currently have a copy of the shadows framework, the description on the shadows framework will be correct.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the tips Leslie. I plan on jumping into it in the next couple of days too.
