Editing Requirements (skip if using the OpenUI)
If you are using the Miva Merchant User Interface (mmui) you will need to make some
very simple edits to the core files. Be sure to do that with a text editor (NO WYSIWYG editors)
such as
Programmer's File Editor (PFE) so as not to damage the mv files. ALWAYS BACKUP
your unmodified mv files in case you make a mistake.
Locate the function MMUI_Begin_Screen in the mmui.mv file. The line
begins with <MvFUNCTION NAME = "MMUI_Begin_Screen". Scroll down several
lines to the line that reads:
<MIVA STANDARDOUTPUTLEVEL = "text, html"><MvEVAL EXPR = "{ MMUI_Store.d.ctgy_head }"> <MIVA STANDARDOUTPUTLEVEL = "text, html, compresswhitespace">
On the line immediately preceding that line, enter the following line:
<TABLE border=1 cellpadding=2 cellspacing=2>
<TR><TD BGCOLOR="#ffd3ff" NOWRAP>
<MvDO FILE="{g.Module_Root$'modules/util/baskstat.mv'}" NAME="l.currentbasket" VALUE="{MMUI_BasketStatus(g.session_id)}">
<FONT size="-1"><MvEVAL EXPR = "{l.currentbasket}"></FONT>
</TD></TR>
</TABLE><BR><BR>
Note: You can change the table color and fonts in this code.
Another location is also in the MMUI_Begin_Screen function just below the
last <TD tag and before the </MvIF> in that function. * lines below are
in the function with the 11 lines between added to display the basket.
*<TD ALIGN = "left" VALIGN = "top" WIDTH = "80%">
<TABLE border=0 width="100%">
<TR><TD align="right" width="70%"> </TD><TD align="left" width="30%">
<MvDO FILE="{g.Module_Root$'modules/util/baskstat.mv'}" NAME="l.currentbasket" VALUE="{MMUI_BasketStatus(g.session_id)}">
<MvIF EXPR = "{l.currentbasket}">
<TABLE border="&[BaskStat.d.border:entities]" cellpadding="&[BaskStat.d.border:entities]" cellspacing="&[BaskStat.d.border:entities]">
<TR><TD BGCOLOR="&[BaskStat.d.table_bg:entities]" NOWRAP>
<FONT size="&[BaskStat.d.tablefsize:entities]" face="&[BaskStat.d.tablefont:entities]" color="&[BaskStat.d.table_fg:entities]">
<MvEVAL EXPR = "{l.currentbasket}">
</FONT>
</TD></TR>
</TABLE>
</MvIF>
</TD></TR>
</TABLE>
*</MvIF>
Note: In this code the font size and color is changed from settings in admin
