OUI/MMUI Store Framework Exporter Beta

Re: OUI/MMUI Store Framework Exporter Beta

Seems like you could have brought up the CTGY and PROD page templates and unassigned the prod_ctgy_hdft item(s). Then go to the master items list and delete the item(s). Pack. Then add a new item. Fill the "code" input with prod_ctgy_hdft. Then fill the "module" input with cmp-cssui-pchdft. Then you would only have one item with that code and only one module associated with that item. But I think it is too late for that.

I did attempt that, but maybe I didn't do it completely or in the right order.

Any suggestions going forward?

I would check with Scott. I don't know if his module exports the data from 4x though.

After checking with the good people at hostasaurus, it was decided to restore from a backup before the category header and footer import.

So hopefully I will have some good news after I try to re-import the category headers and footers.

Re: OUI/MMUI Store Framework Exporter Beta

Hi Folks,

After keeping tabs on this thread, I'm still wondering what is the latest official upgrade procedure? I'm having a problem with a particular storefront upgrade that Hostaurus is helping with where some of the catree/title image paths aren't coming through. There are quite a few categories involved so I would approximate that at least a couple hundred of images are affected.

I stumbled upon this issue by accident so I'm not sure if there other data related oddities yet to be discovered. If this issue can be solved by trying to export/import the store data again, it would prevent the inconvenience of having to manually input this data in the admin.

Before these new tools were available I recall that I would run the upgrade5.mvc in MM4 and then process the provide.xml file in the MM5 storefront. Is this still step still required or is it superseded by the tools/files contained in the framework exporter beta zip file or even both?

Rick or Wayne: could you please chime in if no official approach has been established yet?

Thanks,

Re: OUI/MMUI Store Framework Exporter Beta

Steve,

Applying the upgrade5.mvc (provide.xml) after using the newer tools is not required. You do want to make sure to export/import in the following order.

1) upgrade5_catalog.mvc
2) Apply framework* (export-mmui-layout5.mvc or export-openui-layout5.mvc).
3) upgrade5_orders.mvc

*Framework can only be applied to a store running Miva Merchant Look & Feel for the Store User Interface. Data can be extracted to be applied to a store running to either Store User Interface.

The framework contains the category_tree and category_title information. If you did not apply an exported framework; this could be why the data is missing. You should be able to take a copy of the framework, rename the extension from .pkg to .tar.bz2 and extract the data with winrar or winzip. Look within the components directory once the data has been extracted. You can pick and choose which information you would like to re-import and import via the Import Data from XML File section.

buttons.htm
category_title.htm
category_tree.htm
colors.htm
customerlink.htm
fonts.htm
hdft.htm
XXXX_messages.htm
navbar.htm
prod_ctgy_hdft.htm
product_display.htm
product_list.htm

Attached is a rough draft of instructions for the newer tools (export-mmui-layout5.mvc or export-openui-layout5.mvc, upgrade5_catalog.mvc, upgrade5_orders.mvc) and any feedback would be great.

Re: OUI/MMUI Store Framework Exporter Beta

Hi Wayne,

Thanks for the in depth response. Hostasaurus initially provided the export/import of the OUI framework so not all of the images are missing from the storefront, but pertain to missing some of the category tree images and most of the category title images. The physical images exist as they were all copied over entact, but oddly some of the image paths did not come through.

After trying to export/import the data several times on a local test platform, I noticed that these missing images originated in the exported framework file (i.e. category_title.html and category_tree.htm files) so perhaps I stumbled upon a bug in the OUI layout exporter? If necessary, I can provide these files for your troubleshooting reference.

For now, we'll have to continue on by manually inputting this missing data through the admin as the client can't afford to suspend this upgrade too much longer. If anyone knows of a faster work around to administrate this data please let me know.

Best regards,

Wayne, if you need any server info like engine version, etc. let me know.

Steve,

Open up a ticket with support ([email protected]) and attach the files. In the subject please put ATTN: Engineering and include a link to this post and a brief description of the issue. Please also note what version of the export-openui-layout5.mvc the store is currently using.

Wayne, if you need any server info like engine version, etc. let me know.

David,

Engine version right now might be good to know as the tools don't play well with some older versions.

Thanks,

Wayne

Re: OUI/MMUI Store Framework Exporter Beta

Hi Miva,

Is their a newer version of this openUI exporter tool it has been about a year since the last posted version of 4.2408?

Thank You,

Re: OUI/MMUI Store Framework Exporter Beta

Bringing this one back to life. Looks like the MM4 store has the upgrade5_catalog module installed and was probably used to populate their MM5.5 store. Unfortunately, it looks like the OUI Header & Footer data did not transfer over. What would be the best course of action on this?

Thanks!

Re: OUI/MMUI Store Framework Exporter Beta

Leslie,

If I remember correctly the header and footer information is stored within the framework export and not the catalog export. Run the framework export tool on the 4.x store to export the look and feel of the OUI store. Download that pkg (framework.pkg) to your desktop. Rename the 'framework_name'.pkg to 'framework_name'.tar.bz2 and use winzip or winrar to extract the files. You should now have a directory with the 'framework_name' called components. Go into that directory and try importing the hdft.html or prod_catgy_hdft file into the version 5 store ('x'.html files can then be imported via the Import Data from XML File).

I haven't done this in a long time so I apologize if I've missed a step. Keep us posted and if you continue to have trouble, please open up a ticket with support. If you do open up a ticket with support please make sure to reference this post.

Thanks,

Wayne

Re: OUI/MMUI Store Framework Exporter Beta

Hmmm, looking at the store in question and all I see is the "Export Catalog to Miva Merchant 5.x XML File" - I don't see a framework exporter. Maybe I need to (re)install the module?

No, you just need to install the framework exporter.

Re: OUI/MMUI Store Framework Exporter Beta

Okay I submitted a ticket. Everything seemed to go okay with the XML import of the .html file but when I went to look at the products them self, the data was not there. I have no idea where the data went to
