Store Front Editing
Question: How can I add images and text to the Category and Store Front pages?
Answer:
To add images or text to your category list you will need to modify your
mmui.mv file. It is located in your Merchant/modules/ui directory on your
server. FTP the mmui.mv to your local machine and open it in any plain text
editor(Notepad works great, but do not open it in anything like Front Page).
Make a Backup First!
Then to add the image or text to the category list search for:
Category_tree
On the next line there will be </font>(you will probably want to use some
<br>'s after this so your text or image doesn't come immediately after your
last category).
Place your image or text on the line after this but before the </td></tr>
tags. Use html to add your text or image, so for example if you want to say
"Buy All of My Products!" use something like:
<FONT FACE = "Perpetua" SIZE = "4" COLOR = "246025">Buy All of My
Products</FONT>
And for images be sure to use the proper image tags.
Then save your changes and upload back to your server.
To add images to your Store Front page you will put html in your store front
welcome message in your admin screen. Minus the <html>, <head> and
<body>
tags and their corresponding end tags.

Question: How can I replace the images in the Navigation Bar with my own images?
Answer:
The simple way to change the images is to give them
the same name as the miva default images and place
them in the Merchant/graphics/mmui directory.
Leave the path settings as they were and they will show.
You shouldn't have a Mall Front image showing unless you
have set up more than one store.
You can change the Miva Blade image with your logo or
whatever you want and make a link to your home page.

Question: How can I use an Image Map in place of the Top Navigation Bar?
Answer:
One thing that you can do is completely wipe out the navigation bar (set the background to match the page's background and set the paths for all the images to graphics/admin/blank.gif) and use your imagemap as the header for all of the pages. This way you can do it with out going in and modifying the mmui.mv.
