    ok... also - making the changes to the scripts.js breaks the carosel.

      and then make the changes in the Wiki and Assets link?

        Hey Bill,



        <mvt:item name="clientdimensions" />
        I've been looking for that item. From the release notes:



        Component module cmp-mv-clientdimensions enables the construction of responsive design websites by providing StoreMorph tokens that indicate the size and layout of the client window

            Yes you first have to make the 9.0004 page template changes found here:

            http://www.miva.com/mm9.4_template_changes.html

            Then, there are a few changes specific to the theme itself that need to be made that are posted below.

            Details on client dimensions can be found here:

            http://docs.miva.com/docs/client-dimensions

            You have to manually create the item.

              Hey Brennan,

              Can the client dimensions item be added to the html profile tab before/after the DOCTYPE tag or does it have to be in the head item?

                You want it in the head tag because it outputs JavaScript. You don't want JavaScript above your HTML Profile.

                  Brennan,
                  The problem I see is that the Suivant theme as installed does not match the code in the required changes, so adding the code to go from 9.000 to 9.004 on a site that already has Suivant, is extremely time consuming and confusing.

                  Then, the changes required for the theme update are more confusing, and at this point the js changes break some of the functionality.

                  Additionally, it seems that things just got added in, and thrown around and removed.
                  For example - the sitemap. Where did the controls go?
                  The latest docs I found say this:
                  "To enable the Sitemap link in your on-line store and add the SMAP page in the admin interface:
                  1 Go to > Domain Settings > SEO Settings.
                  2 In the SEO Settings tab, check the "Enable Sitemap" checkbox, then click Update.
                  The page SMAP will now be visible in the admin interface, and a Sitemap link will appear in your
                  on-line store."
                  But in fact - at least on three sites I manage, this no longer is correct....

                    The SMAP page is no longer turned on or off by a toggle under SEO settings in 9.0004. Instead it is always there under pages and you can choose to link it if you wish to use it.

                    You are correct, the 9.0004 template changes don't match exactly. You'll need to look at what the code change is and determine where it should go in your site. Most all the changes should be fairly straight forward even though the code does not match exactly. A good reference is to use a free developer store to install the latest readytheme and compare the page template to your site.

                    Long term we are working on a better way to provide page template updates in the future.

                      Brennan, I have a client that's using the Suivant Ready Theme and I haven't implemented 9.0004 changes, yet.

                      1. Are you saying I first need to implement the template changes, then look for Suivant-specific changes at docs.miva.com/docs/client-dimensions ? Or maybe those ready theme specific changes are at: https://github.com/mivaecommerce/rea.../master/assets ?

                      2. Also, I assume the last step in upgrading (so-to-speak) to 9.0004 would be to run the Upgrade Wizard?

                      Thanks!

                        You need to run updated before making the page template changes.

                        You will want to go though all the changes here:

                        http://www.miva.com/mm9.4_template_changes.html

                        Then the theme specific changes here:

                          I've got a dev store. I wonder if I could add the Suivant ready theme to it and get the template changes from there, instead of from mm9.4_template_changes.html and github.com ?

                              I'm working on implementing the 9.0004 template changes for a client. On the first page, ACRT, it says to look for some code, but when I do, it's not there. Not sure how to proceed with that one. Can anyone advise?
                              Thanks!

                                Is there any sort of advisory (other than the forums) to let a store owner that new features may require coding updates? I'm thinking there isn't due to the number of emails I've started getting about this or that function not working.
