Where do I configure Miva Merchant to use the graphics from the Graphics Paks?

Log into your Miva Merchant Administration and goto:

"Stores" > *your store's name* > "Images" or "Buttons"

From the "Images" screen you can configure your body background and your navigation bar buttons. If you using Miva Merchant 3.x or better, you may also go to the "Buttons" screen and configure any other buttons that Miva Merchant uses with its interface.

 

How do I send the graphics files to my Miva/Web site?

Log into your store's administration as outlined above. To the right of each file path entry you will find an upload icon. Select the icon and browse for the path of your image on your local computer. Check the overwrite selection and select upload. You may also use FTP to upload your graphics to your server and then change the file paths in the fields appropriately.

The usual directory path using FTP will be /Merchant2/graphics/00000001/yournewimage.gif , although this doesn't necessarily have to be so.

As always, before making administrative changes to the store make sure you create a backup of your store.

 

Can I transfer a non-compiled module to a compiled Miva Merchant release (v4.14+)?

No, compiled and non-compiled module versions are two very much different sets of code. Any Miva Merchant versions prior to v4.14 are considered non-compiled.

After installing the newest version of OpenUI, it messed up the NavBar Button Swap module display I was using with the Graphics Pak! What do I do?

Beginning in OUI v4.48 and OUI Compiled v4.55, some unexpected enhancements were added by OUI development. After the OUI installation, it may have enabled the new NavBar features by default. In order to work properly with the NavBar Button Swap module, this setting will need to be turned off. To do so, log into Miva Administration and go to:

"Stores" > *your store's name* > "Navigation Bar Settings"

In the Navigation Bar Settings screen, make sure "Uncheck to use the old-style Navigation Bar " is unchecked, and select "Update".

 

 

I've just installed a Graphics Pak using the NavBar Button Swap Module, but I'm not seeing any changes!

First, make sure you follow the installation instructions specific to the Graphics Pak or module included along with the downloaded .zip file. Also make sure the module itself is installed through Miva Administration and then activated in the System Extensions section.

If OUI v4.48 or OUI Compiled v4.55 or newer is being used, see the previous question for proper configuration.

On how many sites can I reuse the graphics from the Pixel Composer Graphics Paks?

Each Pixel Composer Graphics Pak is licensed on a per domain basis. Meaning each Graphics Pak is allowed to be used on one domain name (ex. pixelcomposer.com ). However if you are the owner of a virtual mall, each license is extended to no more than three stores per domain name.

I run a virtual mall, can I get quantity discounts?

Yes, we do give quantity discounts. Contact us for a free quote.

I would like to purchase custom made buttons that are not listed in your Graphics Paks, is this possible?

Absolutely. We would be happy to accomodate you. Please contact us with your request for a free quote.

I just downloaded a Graphics Pak and it has a .zip extension, what do I do with this?

You will need a program that opens zipped files. A shareware utility that will do this for you can be downloaded at the Winzip website.

What do I do if I didn't receive a reply after I submitted my order?

When submitting an order be sure to use a valid e-mail address otherwise we have little way of getting in touch with you. If you have not received a reply with download instructions within 24 hours please contact us.
