10.0.5 new code for sorting and add account?

[dreamingdigital]

Can we have the code to add to a category list layout sort to include a custom field in the sort fields?

Also can we have at least some super basic form fields/code to put on the INVC that lets the client create an account here please?

Is this still the place to check? https://www.miva.com/template-changes

For un-numbered number 2, you can use the newish readytheme "create account" form post that's right before checkout. Just prepopulate the g.customer_ fields structure as a hidden field, and display the password and confirm password field. The only downside to this is the current account does not get assigned to the order unless you use a custom, non-api function. There probably is an API around since you can do that in the admin, but we are worthy enough. Might check API Functions just in case someone was feeling generous that day.

All the new docs for 10.00.05 will be posted shortly. We're finishing up some final changes to the docs.

But here are some code samples for you to get you started:

Will you let us know when the docs are ready through this thread or where?

A new version of Shadows has also been released (2.00.05). This updated is bundled with Miva 10. Here are the changes in this update:

Just to clarify, this version is bundled with new installs? Or is it now part of the update to MM10? Does the version that is with MM10 get updated or does it still have to be manually updated?

(Asking these questions for archival reference)

Good Question. Each release of Miva, we now update the Shadows framework which ships with Miva 10. This can be found under User Interface -> Frameworks. You'll notice that the framework version for Shadows also updates with each software release.

This has no impact on your stores live templates, even if your site has the shadows framework applied. In order to see the new changes, you would need to create a new template branch and re-apply the Shadows Framework, which will take the latest framework we push out in each release and apply them to your template branch. This is a great way to reference changes.

Lets say you wanted to add the new Quick Add on invoice, you could then copy your production site as a template branch, add the new code needed either by looking at the docs or referencing the template branch you created and applied the latest framework to. Once you have the changes completed and tested, you can then merge/copy your branch back into production to deploy the code.

I may do a quick video on this process to help show how to leverage template branches to stage and QA the latest changes we push out in each update.

This would be great Brennan. I recently had issues with a branch, so I'd like to see how you do it, to determine where I went wrong.
