View Full Version : Upgrading from 3.97

Hey folks,

I have recently upgraded to Miva Empresa 5 and now face the arduous task of porting all my home-made miva-scripts to work with the VM version...
Is there perhaps a list of changes so I don't have to resort to the "Trial and Error" method followed by hours of google searching every time something doesn't work? Is there perhaps a reference-guide for MIVA script v5 like there was back in the day with 3.97?
Have looked around for hours, but can't find it. Just now found out that the support for Macros was dropped... of course all my scripts used macros heavily. Sigh!
Also: I used to use a sitevars file... is that still possible with MIVA 5 VM?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Kind regards,

Will

Dear Will,

Go here:

http://www.mivamerchant.com/support/docs/api/

Half way down is the MivaScript 4.x files. Use those.

Look for Miva VM Change Log File on the site and look in there.

Thx Nerdboy,

Looked where you told me but the cummulative releasenotes for 4.x are not to be found... So, if anybody could tell me how to to workaround the fact that now macro's like &[test] no longer work, that would help me a lot!
Also... how about the sitevars file? In the 3.9x versions of Empresa, you could tell Windows where to look for the sitevars file in the ISS-manager. Not so now...
Where do I put it? And what do I call it?
Again: any help would be greatly appreciated!
