Toolkit compatible with Miva 9

[Jim Cockerham]

Is the Emporium Plus Toolkit module fully compatible with Miva 9 beta 3? I'm having a few issues with the "simplesearch" function and custom fields, might just be me.

Good question - did you also open a support ticket asking the same question?

Re: Toolkit compatible with Miva 9

Leslie - I did not open a ticket. Since I am testing code that I am using on my live 5.5 site on my Miva 9 dev site, I want to make sure I have everything right on my end before I bug support. I think I have narrowed it down to a possible problem with the toolkit vacreate function (or my use of it) . I am trying to create and display an array from a custom category field containing comma delimited text.

Toolkit should be fully compatible with 9, but I've asked Brennan to chime in as well.

Re: Toolkit compatible with Miva 9

There should be no changes in Version 9 that would impact any toolkit functions. If something is not working, it may be a config issue.

Note, however, that some Toolkit functions can be handled natively. (And some can be handled this way in PR12/Empressa 5.20 configurations.) Now (as in moving to 9) would be a good time to replace them as the native code will be faster and more 'future' proof.

The primary change should be using <mvt:assign> for creating variables in place of the toolkit method.

A conversion list sure would be handy

well, if i used toolkit, i'd offer up what i know :) But yea, could be a cool project for someone at merchant...hint, hint.

Re: Toolkit compatible with Miva 9

I'll talk to Brennan about such a thing.

Re: Toolkit compatible with Miva 9

I'll make sure we put together an example of how to do common toolkit functions using mvt:assign and built in engine functions for Version 9 launch.

Re: Toolkit compatible with Miva 9

Is there any reason why this would not work in Miva 9 on the category page?

<mvt:item name="toolkit" param="vacreate|filter1|l.all_settings:category:customfield_values:customfields:catfilter1|," />

Re: Toolkit compatible with Miva 9

Brennan, I'd like to see that too.

<mvt:item name="toolkit" param="vacreate|filter1|l.all_settings:category:customfield_values:customfields:catfilter1|," />

First, eval l.all_settings:category:customfield_values:customf ields:catfilter1 to see if toolkit is getting it.

<mvt:eval expr="l.settings:category:customfield_values:custo mfields:catfilter1" />

(note, use l.settings...not l.all_settings in eval)
