Miva Merchant 9 Template Changes

Re: Miva Merchant 9 Template Changes

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

I seem to be having some issues getting this implemented. I'm not sure if I don't have it configured properly or if there is some conflict with implementing it into the existing code:

<h3 class="text-center">  <mvt:if expr="NOT ISNULL l.settings:product:customfield_values:customfields:original_price"> <strike>$&mvt:product:customfield_values:customfields:original_price;</strike>
    <mvt:if expr="l.settings:product:price"><span>&mvt:product:formatted_price;</span> </mvt:if>
    <mvt:else>
    <mvt:if expr="l.settings:product:price"> <strike><span id="price-value-additional"> </span></strike> <b><span id="price-value">&mvt:product:formatted_base_price;</span></b><br>
      <div id="product-discounts"> </div>
      <mvt:else>
      Please See Product Description </mvt:if>
  </mvt:if>
</h3>

I have implemented the discount and I can see it being taken off at the BASK screen (with no explanation as to what it is) so I know I at least have that much configured "correctly"

I've updated the Attribute Machine script for the head tag, but I am obviously missing something.

Re: Miva Merchant 9 Template Changes

There is a checkbox on PROD for "Display Predicted Discounts" This must be checked in order to display the discounted prices on the product page.

Re: Miva Merchant 9 Template Changes

Yup, it's checked - still no joy.

Re: Miva Merchant 9 Template Changes

I am trying to implement the Miva Merchant 9 template changes to one of our client's MM5 stores, but am a little confused. It is CSSUI.

I started at the top of the page: http://www.miva.com/version9-template-changes and implemented all of the edits through "Edit Page: Shipment Picklist > Page > Details"

Then it seems like it switches to MMUI

But then there is this header: "Edit Page: ACED > Customer Fields". It doesn't specify MMUI or CSSUI.

I started to implement that as well but realized that the page directly under it which is also not labeled seems to have MMUI code: "Edit Page: AFED > Affiliate Fields".

There isn't a template change for these pages that says specifically CSSUI so I was a little confused as to whether or not those and the ones below applied or not.

Can someone confirm which changes need to be implemented for a CSSUI store? I have a lot of stores I have to do and need to make sure it is done right the first time.

Thanks.

I too have this same question. Preparing to take a CSSUI store to MM9 and got confused because of this same issue reviewing the template changes documentation.

Re: Miva Merchant 9 Template Changes

I too found the template change instructions very confusing. There were many duplicate template changes.

Since many merchants held off until after the holiday maybe now would be a good time to revisit the version9-template-changes page with updated, albeit more organized, instructions.

Is the NTFD error message page change correct? I remember seeing another thread the the &mvt:error; exposed an XSS hack.

I'm in the same boat as the last three posters: It's not clear to me which of the items on the referenced page pertains to CSSUI and MMUI. Can it safely be understood that anything up to and including "Edit Page: Shipment Picklist > Page > Details" is CSSUI and everything including and after "MMUI: Edit Page: BASK > Page > Details" is for MMUI stores?

I didn't dare touch this upgrade right before the holidays and now I'd like to get my store upgraded before an NCF fee kicks in (if I understand correctly). I've upgraded to Version 9 on my dev store (no template updates applied yet) and looks great and seems to work very well. Thanks!

Please Rick, this deserves attention. Can someone (at Miva) please respond so we know you are seeing this? Thank you.

Re: Miva Merchant 9 Template Changes

Yes, I (and we) are reading.

There's 2 issues here.

One is confusion about which Template Changes to make, which I'll have someone else jump in to assist with.

Two is upgrading to Version 9 before the NCF fees. You can upgrade to Version 9 and not make any changes and your site will work exactly as before. The only changes you need to make are in order to enable the new discounting features in Version 9.

So there's no reason to not upgrade in time, due to Template Changes.

Re: Miva Merchant 9 Template Changes

I just updated the page template changes so each section is prefixed with MMUI or CSSUI and gave some separation between the two. The last of the CSSUI page template changes is section:

Shipment Picklist > Page > Details

Re: Miva Merchant 9 Template Changes

Brennan,

Thanks very much for the changes. This makes it more clear. For what it's worth, I think one small item was passed over on the MMUI side: "Edit Page: User Interface, Settings > Global Header & Footer"

Having this template information (especially if it's complete and accurate) available on the forums is priceless, especially speaking as someone who has finally gone back and applied some of the older template changes from PR8.

You can upgrade to Version 9 and not make any changes and your site will work exactly as before. The only changes you need to make are in order to enable the new discounting features in Version 9.

So there's no reason to not upgrade in time, due to Template Changes.

That makes sense. Learning from past mistakes I'd just like to like to apply the template changes as soon as possible after the upgrade, and my only point was that the clock is ticking on the upgrade in general with ~60 days "burned" by the holiday season. (I understand the reason miva DOES release leading up to the holiday season.)

Are the "discounting features" template changes specially highlighted anywhere? I don't recall seeing documentation calling out those template changes as being more necessary than others. Asked another way, could you elaborate on "needing to make" the discount changes? Are these template changes required whereas the rest (majority) of template changes are optional? Thanks!!

Re: Miva Merchant 9 Template Changes

Thank you Brennan and Rick.

Re: Miva Merchant 9 Template Changes

As for the the template change document, we have corrected section titles that were missing their CSSUI/MMUI distinctions and appearing as duplicate entries.

As for the NTFD error messages, these messages are now encoded before they are accessible on the page, so they are not reliant on template output encoding.

Re: Miva Merchant 9 Template Changes

On this page: http://www.miva.com/version9-template-changes there are two CSSUI template changes in the middle of the MMUI template changes:

CSSUI: Edit Page: ACAD > Customer Fields
CSSUI: Edit Page: ACED > Customer Fields

Are they really MMUI changes, or CSSUI changes in the wrong spot?

Re: Miva Merchant 9 Template Changes

Where can I find a reference for all of the default page template code for MM9 in its entirety? I'm working through the MM9 template changes and finding that some of my templates do not match the "original file" code (shown on the left of the changes page) even if I revert all the way back to "original" in my template history. For instance, as I mentioned here, the SHIPMENT_PICKLIST template in my store doesn't even have any tables in it; it uses divs — all the way through the version history, back to the "Original" template (which must have come from the original CSSUI framework from Miva 4 or 5 or 5.5 (I can't recall where we even started, it's been so long). So, somewhere along the way, I must have missed some template changes during upgrade through the ages. Now, how do I get my MM9 store up to date when my current templates are so far out date that the required changes cannot be easily determined?
