Error Compiling Template

[lesliekirk]

I am trying to add the header_sequence and footer_sequence items to the SFNT Template of an existing site as outlined in the Upgrading To PageBuilder docs. After assigning the Flex and Sequence items to the Page I attempted to add the
Item Tags to the Page.

<mvt:item name="header_sequence" />
<mvt:item name="footer_sequence" />

I get the following error:

Error compiling template: header_sequence is not in the list of valid items

Is this saying I can't use just the header and footer sequences on the SFNT page? If so, that really doesn't work for this particular site. Being able to use just the footer_sequence would have been perfect.

For existing stores, those items are not created by default. You have to manually create them or import the XML file here which does it for you:

https://docs.miva.com/miva10/referen...#header-footer

New stores created after 10.05.00 was released already has this all done for you.

This part I understood. I have come to find out that you CANNOT use these on the SFNT:

<mvt:item name="header_sequence" />
<mvt:item name="footer_sequence" />

only this can be used

<mvt:item name="sequence" />

For the site I'm trying to integrate PageBuilder into the SFNT this isn't a good option.

Ahh I see the disconnect. You just need to assign those two items to SFNT first to use them on the page. That is not a default we include in the XML configuration which is why you're seeing that error.

header_sequence and footer_sequence and "sequence" are all the exact same thing. They are items mapped to the mv-cmp-sequence component module. We just name them differently so it makes logical sense for there they are placed on the page. You can use any of them on any page as long as the items are assigned to the page under the items tab.

You also could create your own with its own name if it made sense such as sfnt_hero_sequence.

But all these do is tell Miva where to output the PageBuilder components on the page.

There is an error with the XML file located here https://docs.miva.com/miva10/referen...#header-footer

It is missing

<Page_Update code="ABUS">
<Item code="footer_sequence">
<Title>Page Builder Footer</Title>
</Item>
</Page_Update>

<Page_Update code="ABUS">
<Item code="header_sequence">
<Title>Page Builder Header</Title>
</Item>
</Page_Update>

Thanks, the file has been updated.

I did! I think this may be a path closer to what I'm trying to accomplish - I can now create a couple of places to insert within the existing layout (to replace some of the Theme Components).
