Miva Merchant 9.0004 Template Changes

Re: Miva Merchant 9.0004 Template Changes

I've added the code on the Product page for Wishlists but have something weird happening.

If I use this form tag :<form method="post" action="&mvt:global:sessionurl;Screen=BASK"> I can add the product to the bask but cannot add the product to a wishlist.

If I use the new form tag: <form method="post" action="&mvte:urls:BASK:auto;" name="add" id="js-purchase-product" class="inline-labeling"> I can add the product to a wishlist but I cannot add the product to the shopping cart.

Any ideas???

It would be nice if someone could post the wishlist templates for Suivant readytheme please! Also the page changes for PROD.

Do what I've started suggesting all my store owners with a ReadyTheme do, go grab a free developer account.

http://www.miva.com/docs/development-account

Then you can apply the latest version of the theme and get to code you need that is specific to your theme.

Trying to quickly update a store that uses a theme other than what the Template Changes use can be a bit frustrating.

Also watch out for a gotcha I discovered that some stores may encounter. If your BODY Tag is not in it's own tab, the updates to the BODY Tag do not get applied. It can leave you scratching your head wondering why your ReadyTheme doesn't look like the demo ReadyTheme.

Re: Miva Merchant 9.0004 Template Changes

The uploading and applying of any framework will overwrite the current coding. But because I seem to have a problem with using the coding from the updates page, I take the framework and install it in a dev site, then I can see the code in my own comfort zone. I do use the Updates page a reference to be aware of what has been changed. If it happens to be a page that didn't have any previous changes made to it but there are new changes, I'll just copy the entire page template from the dev version and paste it to the live site.

But to answer you question - yeah you'll still need to make line by line changes for older sites.

Re: Miva Merchant 9.0004 Template Changes

This is kind of good for sites in dev but what about the live sites? So I'm curious if you will have the code changes per page like you do for the very basic miva install. This is important please!

Re: Miva Merchant 9.0004 Template Changes

The updated Ready Themes as well as step by step code for those pages should be out early next week.

Just checking to see if the templates changes for the ReadyThemes, Suivant in particular, are ready.

Re: Miva Merchant 9.0004 Template Changes

Is the new framework with all the templates changes available for download?

Re: Miva Merchant 9.0004 Template Changes

Rick, one follow-up. If I come across a template that's not been changed since the 9.X upgrade, will the approach of "Point and Click and Regenerate" work while we manually do the 9.0003 and 9.0004 updates on the others?

The short answer is: It depends. If the template was a NEW template in 9.0 (ie, you had no custom stuff in the template, it was just the generic stock template), then yes, you would be able to just regenerate using point and click. However, if the template contained any custom code, regardless of whether you added all the necessary template changes for 9.0, using point and click to generate will override any custom code you had. Since we save all the previous versions of your template, if you notice there was something custom and you accidentally overwrote it with point and click generate, you can always go back to the previous version(s) of the template.
