Rick,

Will everything still work if these changes AREN'T made? Or are all these changes mandatory for everything to work properly (when upgrading from PR8 using MMUI)?

Thanks,
Eric

Re: Miva Merchant 9 Template Changes

I think this update to 9 reference needs some cleaning up. There are references to miva.com and sessions that don't make sense to copy over. Obviously it should be yourdomain.com and store number as well as &mvt:global:secure_sessionurl; in many places.

Also it would be helpful to just have another file with the complete new default code for those pages. When you don't have the point + Click mode you can't bring in the new Miva 9 code for the other template fields.

I think it would be helpful to also have the changes by the PAGE. Right now you are bouncing back and forth.

It is very confusing at the least.

No these aren't mandatory, except if you want the new features (or new Google Analytics) to work as intended stock.

Re: Miva Merchant 9 Template Changes

The template changes have miva.com in them. Like below. Is it simple as changing domain and store code? Leaving everything else the same?

CSSUI: Edit Page: OCST > Page > Customer Fields

mine says:
<script src="&mvt:global:clientside_url;Store_Code=&mvta:s tore:code;&amp;Filename=ToggleDetails.js&amp;Prima ddr=shipping&amp;Shipping=D&amp;Billing=O"></script>

Your instructions say:

<script src="http://www.miva.com/mm5/clientside.mvc?T=25c67cbc&Store_Code=MIVA&Filename =ToggleDetails.js&Primaddr=shipping&Shipping=D&Bil ling=O"></script>

Re: Miva Merchant 9 Template Changes

When originally written it had all the variable's in it properly, but we posted that in a page in our own site, not realizing it would populate those all with our domain (that's what happens when you rush this out).

We'll get it fixed first thing on Monday.

Re: Miva Merchant 9 Template Changes

We were able to update that Page with all the template code changes, it should be site agnostic now.

Rick, I have not been able to use half the admin in 9, I was told I that miva would roll back the admin on both my regular site and my dev site. within two hours, that has not happened. I have not been able to work on my store for 5 days now. Very unhappy

Appreciate the info!

Re: Miva Merchant 9 Template Changes

Whona -

The only way for that to happen would be if you have session ids hard coded in your pages. If you're seeing this, make sure you go though your page templates and remove any of these session ids

As for the correct link there are a few ways.

If you are using Search Friendly links you can simply recreate your link structure:

/category/category_code.html
/product/product_code.html

The &mvt:global:secure_sessionurl; variable only should be used when linking to a secure page like the account pages or checkout process.

Re: Miva Merchant 9 Template Changes

It appears that you need to be sure that if you are using the existing ReadyThemes from Miva that you will need to apply these changes to the templates as well.

Jon,

I think you just had an early build of the Optics theme, that shouldn't be true in general.

Re: Miva Merchant 9 Template Changes

The Optics theme I downloaded is the current one on the Miva site, date 11-11-2014.

PROD > Page > Attribute Machine

attributemachine.htm

<script>
	AttributeMachine.prototype.Generate_Swatch = function (product_code, attribute, option) {
		var swatch = document.createElement('li'),
			img = document.createElement('img');
			
		img.src = option.image;
		swatch.setAttribute('data-color', option.prompt);
		swatch.appendChild(img);
		return swatch;
	};
	AttributeMachine.prototype.Swatch_Click = function(input, attribute, option) {
		var i,
			swatchNameElement = document.getElementById('js-swatch-name');
			
		for (i = 0; i < input.select.options.length; i++) {
			if (input.select.options[i].value == option.code) {
				input.select.selectedIndex = i;
			};
		};
		if (attribute.inventory) {
			this.Attribute_Changed(input);
		};
		
		swatchNameElement.innerHTML = option.prompt;
	};
</script>

I am really interested in the Suivant ReadyTheme. I was checking out the functionality of Optics.

Re: Miva Merchant 9 Template Changes

Store owner would like to take advantage of the ability to do strike-thru pricing as it relates to the new Marketing Discount features / functions. But I think I've got a double whammy of a problem - they are not using the Attribute Machine (and it looks like this may be driven by it) and they are using the Viking Coders Attribute Templates (to use in conjunction with the Viking Coder Inventory Manager).

Re: Miva Merchant 9 Template Changes

You would only need to be using attribute machine if you wanted to display discounts on attributes and see the price change in real time as you select different attributes. If you are just doing product level discounts they should work with Viking Coders Inventory Manager / Attributes.

The Strike through price display doesn't depend on the Attribute Machine. There are separate controls for it in the Product Display Layout components
