Writing a text file?

This is probably incredibly easy and yet it is currently baffling me.

I want to have my mivascript write out a simple text file. I want it
to end up in the same folder where the script is. Normally, files
are exported and end up in the data folder, I don't want it there.

You can use fscopy(source,destination) and then fdelete(source).

You write the file using MvEXPORT to the data directory, then move it to
the script directory.

All the Miva Script command syntax is offered here:

All those old miva scripters expect you to know everything :)

Here's a script example of how it works:

Fill up a variable (in this example called l.export_data) with
everything you want to export.

Then export it to a file called some_file.txt like this:
<MvEXPORT FILE = "{'some_file.txt'}" FIELDS = "l.export_data">

Then you have to move the file from the data directory to your script
directory, so do this:
<MvASSIGN NAME = "l.ok" VALUE = "{
fsrename('some_file.txt','some_file.txt') }">

If you want to access it from your web site from a link or something,
you need to change the file permissions to allow that to happen like this:
<MvASSIGN NAME = "l.ok" VALUE = "{ schmod('some_file.txt','0755') }">

Actually, you should use 644, not 755. I don't think you
want to make the file executable, just readable.

Normally the mivadata and web site are separated for security reasons in a
structure similar to this

/www/mivadata/
/www/html/

Using symbolic links or other methods (on linux/unix) it is possible to map
the html to "also" reside under the mivadata folder. Like this.

/www/mivadata/
/www/html/
/www/mivadata/html

The second html folder is just a re-mapping of the first. This lets your
mivascript application have full access the the website keeps the website
isolated from the mivadata.

A way to add sizes of shirts to the shopping cart more easily



Hi, I am trying to improve my Miva wholesale store based on input
from a customer. We sell T-shirts, and currently the customer has to
enter 2 and select the size he wants, click buy, do again for the
next size, do again for the next size, and so on. There's a check box
for whether the customer wants the T-shirts bagged or not, which
resets itself every reload so the customer has to click it again with
each size.

What I'd much rather like to see is a way that the customer could
have different fields for each size, and he could just enter however
many of each size he wanted, then click buy and have all the items
added to the cart. Is something like this available? What are some
other alternate ways that customers can add 5 size L, 5 size XL, 3
size small, all at one time? Maybe something with check boxes?
