how to modify h_main on compiled system?

Look at the h_xxxx.mvc files under a hex editor. Looks like they're just null
files, just like they were when they were in uncompiled Merchant.

Hi folks --

A client has asked me to add a link to the main page of their admin, as a
shortcut to a particular screen that they use a lot. I've done this on
uncompiled sites before. I just realized that there is no source code for
h_main.mv in the LSK. (At least, I don't have a copy.) Is there a way to
add custom code to these "site" scripts in a compiled store?

Don't need source. Just name the file h_main.mv and compile it...do it all
the time to provide things like custom documentation, shortcuts, etc. One
client uses it to send a notification that the admin is being accessed so he
can monitor off-site employees.

how to modify h_main on compiled system?

Hi folks --

Thanks for the suggestions. So I can just replace the existing h_main.mvc
with my own. That'll work; the existing file is so small, I figured it was
probably null.

But this does cause a problem if a store has two different modules or apps
that want to customize this file. In uncompiled Merchant, I think that
some of you had written modules that could insert/remove code in the "site"
files as part of their Module_Install and Module_Uninstall functions. In
compiled Merchant, I guess, that can't be done any more?

Thanks --

how to modify h_main on compiled system?

Basically, you name the existing file h_main.mvc h_main1.mvc and at the end
of your h_main.mvc use <MvDO FILE="h_main1.mvc">. You could write an
installer script as a utility module to do this, or just do it manually.

how to modify h_main on compiled system?

Just an fyi...
If it has openui, I don't think this will work - but could be very wrong...

Seems I tested this some time ago.

how to modify h_main on compiled system?

OpenUI renames the h_lnav to h_lnav.oui.mvc and then creates it's own
h_lnav which calls the h_lnav.oui.mvc, so if you want to create custom links
you would need to create/modify the h_lnav.oui.mvc.

I don't know if this applies to h_main.

how to modify h_main on compiled system?

Kent,

The following is copied straight out of the Miva Merchant v4.00 release notes
(you shoulda known they were there! LOL)...

3. Co-branding
Allows the provisioner to change the appearance of the administration
interface to
display branding information. The provisioner places HTML and/or Miva Script
content in header and footer files for the left Administration Interface menu,
the
Administration Interface data area, the About Miva Merchant screen, and the
new
Simple Administration screen. Additionally, provisioners can modify the
default
frameset, allowing them to have their own navigation bars or otherwise
incorporate the Miva Merchant administrative interface into the look & feel
and
functionality of their existing systems.
. Headers and footers are stored in a subdirectory of the distribution
directory,
called "site/"
. The following files are used:
- h_lnav.mv: Left Administration Interface menu Header
- f_lnav.mv: Left Administration Interface menu Footer
- h_main.mv: Administration Interface Data Area Header
- f_main.mv: Administration Interface Data Area Footer
- h_about.mv: About Screen Header
- f_about.mv: About Screen Footer
- h_simple.mv: Simple Administration Header
- f_simple.mv: Simple Administration Footer

The MM v4.00 release notes are here:
