Hi All,

I have created 5 mvc pages under mm5 where cont_pg.mvc is the main container page which contains the other pages (top_pg.mvc, left_pg.mvc, main_pg.mvc, right_pg.mvc), So, here is the main concern arises.

I have coded all the category items under the right_pg.mvc and I want to make sure that whenever any customer clicks on the category shown on right_pg.mvc it should show the details on the main_pg.mvc but I do not know how I have to code to redirect the links of right_pg.mvc to main_pg.mvc?

For more information you can see the rough attachment of the layout page.

I would really appreciate the positive feedback on this.

What is the reason behind using frames? It has been my experience that MIVA Merchant and frames do not get along.

My advise, not a good idea. You will be doing a lot of unessasary hacking to get those frames to work. MIVA Merchant is pretty much already broken up into the sections you described, just not using frames.

The Global Header and Navigation Bar covers your top section, the Category Tree covers your left section (right in your image) and the main is covered by the Storefront Screen, Category Screen, Product Screen, Account Screens and Basket/Checkout Screens. The right column is something that can be done on certain screens with some custom coding.

Is this your first MIVA Merchant store?
