Miva Merchant 9.0004 Template Changes

Re: Miva Merchant 9.0004 Template Changes

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

Brennan,
The problem I see is that the Suivant theme as installed does not match the code in the required changes, so adding the code to go from 9.000 to 9.004 on a site that already has Suivant, is extremely time consuming and confusing.

Then, the changes required for the theme update are more confusing, and at this point the js changes break some of the functionality.

Additionally, it seems that things just got added in, and thrown around and removed.
For example - the sitemap. Where did the controls go?
The latest docs I found say this:
"To enable the Sitemap link in your on-line store and add the SMAP page in the admin interface:
1 Go to > Domain Settings > SEO Settings.
2 In the SEO Settings tab, check the "Enable Sitemap" checkbox, then click Update.
The page SMAP will now be visible in the admin interface, and a Sitemap link will appear in your
on-line store."
But in fact - at least on three sites I manage, this no longer is correct....

You want it in the head tag because it outputs JavaScript. You don't want JavaScript above your HTML Profile.

Hey Brennan,

Can the client dimensions item be added to the html profile tab before/after the DOCTYPE tag or does it have to be in the head item?

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.

Hey Bill,

<mvt:item name="clientdimensions" />

I've been looking for that item. From the release notes:

Component module cmp-mv-clientdimensions enables the construction of responsive design websites by providing StoreMorph tokens that indicate the size and layout of the client window

Hello

I have Suivant theme. Do I first make all the changes on this link here http://www.miva.com/mm9.4_template_changes.html
and then make the changes in the Wiki and Assets link?

Re: Miva Merchant 9.0004 Template Changes

ok... also - making the changes to the scripts.js breaks the carosel.

Re: Miva Merchant 9.0004 Template Changes

anyone know what this is? Not installed on my site, and don't see any reference anywhere

<mvt:item name="clientdimensions" />

Re: Miva Merchant 9.0004 Template Changes

Completely confused...

Do I need to update FIRST the new 9x template code, and then do the theme changes,or just one, or just the other?

Re: Miva Merchant 9.0004 Template Changes

In the grand scheme of things, the ReadyThemes work just like updating any WordPress theme. It will overwrite any customizations you have done to the theme. WordPress has a "work around" - child themes. You create your custom work within the child theme. Not sure if this concept would even work with Miva's ReadyThemes.

I get your point too - much of the new stuff coming out is very very dependent upon the code needed to be adding into the template.

FYI - its seems to me that Ready Themes aren't ready to work fully with Miva. Having multiple changes every time Miva does an update - hmmm... priceless? Shouldn't a theme simply site on top of the underlying stuff?

Re: Miva Merchant 9.0004 Template Changes

Are the suivant specific template code changes out yet? I tried following through with the standard changes but it gets too complicated for me on some of the page...

I need this page specifically for the Suivant theme.

Re: Miva Merchant 9.0004 Template Changes

I thought the original issue was that if URI management was enabled the add to basket link did not work. I something else happening?

Brennan,

Please disregard and accept my apologies. I guess in trying to fix this I reverted the Form code to the older version and never changed it back to the new one after updating the Javascript file. It appears to be working now.

This is my original wishlist issue:

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 it just puts the wishlist item in the shopping cart.

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???
