How to Make Appearance of our Added Storefront more like our Main Storefront

[cajun4]

We had posted this question earlier, but didn't quite get the answers we were looking for.
So we're trying one more time (and trying to phrase our question a bit clearer this time).

We upgraded our shopping cart from Miva 4.24 to 5.5 a while back.
We kept our User Interface as MMUI.

Subsequently we added another storefront to to our Miva 5.5 store.

http://www.cajun-shop.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=SFNT&Store_Code=ROP

We wanted - and had expected - this added storefront to also maintain the MMUI appearance, but it seems that it didn't.

When we checked further, we found that the User Interface of our added ROP storefront just shows Default CSSUI Framework (cssui_default_fw). In its current form, this Default CSSUI looks very rudimentary, and nothing like our MMUI interface.

How can we apply the MMUI interface to our added ROP storefront?

Failing that, how can we adapt our added ROP storefront user interface so that it has a similar look to our main store?
What specific steps are needed? Is there a Miva page that you can point us to?

Gordon,

You'd need to Delete the new store and re-add it, but under settings change your ui to MMUI.

The "easiest" way would be to delete the second store, and readd it as an MMUI store. BUT what sounds to be the easiest on the surface may or may not be. How much effort have you already put into this additional store? Product, categories, ect? I would export all that data before deleting the store. Did you add any images yet? If so, when deleting and then readding the store, you will wind up with a new image directory - most likely 0000003. The key is going to be how much work are you willing to part with to start over.

Then after you get the MMUI store, you should be able to apply the framework you are wanting to use.

Now if you want to go the "hard way" you would go through, copy & paste all the first store's templates into the second store BUT you would have to make sure you change a few of the tokens out. The CSSUI store uses a few different one and doesn't use the body item, instead it uses a true body tag.
