CSSUI.mvc Source Code???

[schon.garcia]

Hi I am looking to see if I can get the source code for the cssui.mvc module so I can change the default missing attribute error from "Attributes in bold are required." to "Please confirm attributes in bold before adding item(s) to cart." and then compile using the Miva Script Compiler.

Thanks in advance.

I asked our CTO and he said the CSSUI.mvc code should be part of the limited source kit which you can download at http://www.mivamerchant.com/support/downloads

He did suggest though that "It'd be a lot easier to just change the template code on the PATR page that loops over messages:error_messages and either hard code the message there, take it out or trap the message with an if statement in the loop and turn it into something else."

Here's a code example:

<mvt:if expr="l.settings:messages:error_message_count">
<div class="error-message">
<mvt:foreach iterator="error" array="messages:error_messages">
<mvt:if expr=" ( 'Attributes' IN l.settings:error ) EQ 1"> 
This is my new error message text
<mvt:else>
&mvt:error;
</mvt:if>
</mvt:foreach>
</div>
</mvt:if>

...and Dave's suggestion is preferred because your changes could be overwritten on the next upgrade of Merchant.

In general, the source code is for learning and understanding Merchant (and sometimes borrowing)...they should never be used as replacements for existing modules because of the above issue. Also, the source code modules don't necessarily 'compile' without making several other modifications to the code.
