    Tool Belt Expansion

    Miva has rolled Tool Belt and Tool Kit into the main product but are these embedded in amber meaning development is frozen? I don't consider myself a programmer. My programming days lie mostly in BASIC somewhere in the 80's and some hobbyist Visual Basic 20+ years ago. I'm called on to do little things now and then and Tool Kit and Tool Belt have been life savers. We can't really contract a programmer for every little tweak or fix and Tool Belt/Tool Kit puts these small projects within reach. I'd love to see a few functions added now and then.

    Years ago we looked at building toolkit/toolbelt type functions directly in Miva. What we ended up doing instead is adding mvt:do (https://docs.miva.com/template-language/mvtdo) into the template language. This gives you access to every underlying function which exists in the core software.

    Here are a few examples of using just the template layer to re-create a lot of the toolbelt/toolkit functions:

      Generally I don't do anything programming related and then out of the blue I'm asked for some little thing. Hard to develop competency in that way which is why some of those toolbelt/toolkit functions are so appealing. Grab one, drop it in, tweak a little and done. Thanks for your help.
