Add or Edit Pages Using Store Morph

You can edit any existing user interface page in your Miva Merchant store  to look and work exactly as you want it to. You can also create your own entirely new pages.

This is an incredibly powerful tool. There is a lot to learn to use all the capability available but as an example we will create a simple "About Us" page then incorporate it into a store.

Adding a New Page

When you start to create a new page you will only see the Page tab with the following fields: Complete the information described below and click Add.

Code

Each page is identified by a unique code which will appear in the URL for the page. Miva Merchant will prevent you from creating a duplicate page code.

Pages are sorted in the list by code so you may want to give your new pages codes that cause them to be grouped together alphabetically in the list. If you have three pages showing your directions and maps to your brick-and-mortar store locations, you could give them the codes of MapAZ, MapCA, and MapNV, rather than AZMap, CAMap, and NVMap.

Pages link to other pages within a Miva Merchant store by using the page codes. Do not change the code of a page that is already in use, like the Invoice page (INVC) or the links to that page will be broken.

Name

The page name appears only in this list and is for your reference. Use a descriptive name, including keywords that will help you find it later, using the search feature. For example "Directions and Map to Arizona Store Location".

Template

A simple page template can contain ordinary HTML code, like any web page with formatted text, and maybe an image or two. You can type the code directly into the Template field on the Add Page screen or create the code for the page in another program, then copy and paste it into the field.

Here is an example of the template code for a simple "About Us" page:

<html>

   <head>

       <title>About Us</title>

   </head>

 

   <body bgcolor="#ffffff">

       <h1>About Us</h1>

       <p>We started the business over 20 years ago in a garage.

          Now we sell products in countries around the world.</p>

    </body>

</html>

Template code can include anything that would be used in a normal HTML Web page, including images, formatting, tables, JavaScript, and so on.

Save the New Page

Once you have completed the information above click Add.

Once the new page exists a second tabItems will be available. A group of new controls for accessing each saved version of the page, will also appear at the bottom of the Page tab.

Saving Your Work and Reverting to an Earlier Version

Each time you click Update a version of the page is saved along with a note where you can describe the change. If you leave the Note field blank the date and time will be entered for you.

To discard recent changes and go back to any earlier version of the page select the version you want then click Recall.
