Re: Miva Merchant 9.0004 Template Changes

Are there any changes required to the PayPal Express Checkout Button Item Template?

Sample code:

<mvt:if expr="l.settings:PaypalExButton:express_in_context">
    <a data-paypal-button="true" href="&mvt:global:secure_sessionurl;Store_Code=&mvta:global:Store_Code;&amp;Action=PAL1&amp;Screen=PAL1&amp;NextScreen=OCST&amp;NextAction=&amp;CancelScreen=&mvta:global:Screen;"><img src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_xpressCheckout.gif" style="border:0; padding:1em 0;" alt="" /></a>
<mvt:else>
    <a href="&mvt:global:secure_sessionurl;Store_Code=&mvta:global:Store_Code;&amp;Action=PAL1&amp;Screen=PAL1&amp;NextScreen=OCST&amp;NextAction=&amp;CancelScreen=&mvta:global:Screen;"><img src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_xpressCheckout.gif" style="border:0; padding:1em 0;" alt="" /></a>
</mvt:if>

My NextScreen has a redirect on it with the new URI manager.

Here is the PATR page for Suivant and Iron and Wool

https://gist.github.com/influxweb/03f3c0d38b8438b90eb1

This will be added in the next update to both themes.

Re: Miva Merchant 9.0004 Template Changes

Regarding the PATR page, it does look like that page was missed. We will update it. However, because of the AJAX add to cart it is not currently possible to get to that page.

For the meta tag code, that is correct. The meta tags were changed so they cascade eliminating the logic in the first block of code.

Re: Miva Merchant 9.0004 Template Changes

Going through the 9.0004 template changes. On step "CSSUI: User Interface: Settings: CSSUI Head Tag Content/CSS"
I wonder if this:

<mvt:if expr="NOT ISNULL l.settings:product:metafield:keywords">
    <meta name="keywords" content="&mvt:product:metafield:keywords;" />
<mvt:elseif expr="NOT ISNULL l.settings:category:metafield:keywords">
    <meta name="keywords" content="&mvt:category:metafield:keywords;" />
<mvt:else>
    <meta name="keywords" content="SEO: META KEYWORDS" />
</mvt:if>
<mvt:if expr="NOT ISNULL l.settings:product:metafield:description">
    <meta name="keywords" content="&mvt:product:metafield:description;" />
<mvt:elseif expr="NOT ISNULL l.settings:category:metafield:description">
    <meta name="keywords" content="&mvt:category:metafield:description;" />
<mvt:else>
    <meta name="description" content="SEO: META DESCRIPTION" />
</mvt:if>

is being replaced with this:

<mvt:item name="prodctgy_meta" param="combined" />

Can anyone confirm? And if it is, I wonder where all that coding is going/has went?
Thanks!

Re: Miva Merchant 9.0004 Template Changes

I'm looking at my dev store, which has a newly installed Suivant Ready Theme.
On all other pages, the title tag is now wrapped in an if/else expression:

    <mvt:if expr="NOT ISNULL l.settings:page:title">
        <title>&mvt:page:title;</title>
    <mvt:else>
        <title>&mvt:store:name;: &mvt:page:name;</title>
    </mvt:if>

On page PATR, the title tag is the same as it used to be:

<title>&mvt:product:name;: &mvt:store:name; - &mvt:page:name;</title>

Re: Miva Merchant 9.0004 Template Changes

I'm wondering if the Suivant Ready Theme has been completely updated, as I've installed it into my dev store and I've noticed the PATR page doesn't have the same code that's in the template_changes.html
Maybe it got skipped?

Do keep in mind that the template_changes.html appears to be using the Default CSSUI framework. With that said, what did you find?

Re: Miva Merchant 9.0004 Template Changes

No, the Forums is where we announce these changes (and the Reference Guide).

[lesliekirk]

Re: Miva Merchant 9.0004 Template Changes

Is there any sort of advisory (other than the forums) to let a store owner that new features may require coding updates? I'm thinking there isn't due to the number of emails I've started getting about this or that function not working.

Re: Miva Merchant 9.0004 Template Changes

I'm working on implementing the 9.0004 template changes for a client. On the first page, ACRT, it says to look for some code, but when I do, it's not there. Not sure how to proceed with that one. Can anyone advise?
Thanks!

Re: Miva Merchant 9.0004 Template Changes

Yep that is always a good method too.

Re: Miva Merchant 9.0004 Template Changes

You need to run updated before making the page template changes.

You will want to go though all the changes here:

http://www.miva.com/mm9.4_template_changes.html

Then the theme specific changes here:

https://github.com/mivaecommerce/rea...v1.3.0-Updates

I've got a dev store. I wonder if I could add the Suivant ready theme to it and get the template changes from there, instead of from mm9.4_template_changes.html and github.com ?

@wmgilligan

Yes you first have to make the 9.0004 page template changes found here:

http://www.miva.com/mm9.4_template_changes.html

Then, there are a few changes specific to the theme itself that need to be made that are posted below.

Details on client dimensions can be found here:

http://docs.miva.com/docs/client-dimensions

You have to manually create the item.

Brennan, I have a client that's using the Suivant Ready Theme and I haven't implemented 9.0004 changes, yet.

1. Are you saying I first need to implement the template changes, then look for Suivant-specific changes at docs.miva.com/docs/client-dimensions ? Or maybe those ready theme specific changes are at: https://github.com/mivaecommerce/rea.../master/assets ?

2. Also, I assume the last step in upgrading (so-to-speak) to 9.0004 would be to run the Upgrade Wizard?

Thanks!

Re: Miva Merchant 9.0004 Template Changes

The SMAP page is no longer turned on or off by a toggle under SEO settings in 9.0004. Instead it is always there under pages and you can choose to link it if you wish to use it.

You are correct, the 9.0004 template changes don't match exactly. You'll need to look at what the code change is and determine where it should go in your site. Most all the changes should be fairly straight forward even though the code does not match exactly. A good reference is to use a free developer store to install the latest readytheme and compare the page template to your site.

Long term we are working on a better way to provide page template updates in the future.
