So for anyone having this issue… (and assuming that you have already have copied over the template from the best sellers)

HOW TO:
a) locate the folder in your mm5 or miva public folder called js (this where my scripts are installed)
b) find the file called scripts.js (make a backup of course)
c) edit that file with a text editor. and do a find for this string

// —- Product Carousel —- //
cornerstoneUX.sharedFunctions.productsCarousels(‘# js-whats-popular-carousel’);
it will look like this…

jsSFNT: function () {
// —- Product Carousel —- //
cornerstoneUX.sharedFunctions.productsCarousels(‘# js-whats-popular-carousel’);

},

I have FEATURED PRODUCTS and NEW ARRIVALS product sliders on my homepage.

so I added this and change the ID # to your ID in your product listing file in the them (see below)

jsSFNT: function () {
// —- Product Carousel —- //
cornerstoneUX.sharedFunctions.productsCarousels(‘#js-whats-popular-carousel’);
cornerstoneUX.sharedFunctions.productsCarousels(‘#js-featured-carousel‘);
cornerstoneUX.sharedFunctions.productsCarousels(‘#js-new-arrivals-carousel‘);

},

d) Save the file and upload it back to the server /mm5/js/scripts.js

e) Next Login to Miva Admin
f) Click on the MENU top left
h) Then select the ARROW to the right of UTILITIES
i) Your theme comes up –> select PRODUCT LISTINGS
j) 4th line of code down look for this

<div id=”js-whats-popular-carousel” class=”column whole float-none whats-popular-carousel”>

and change it to

<div id=”js-featured-carousel” class=”column whole float-none featured-carousel“>

notice by bolded entries above are the same referenced names as the code placed in the scripts.js file above. If not the same this won’t work. the ID=”js-features-carousel” is the most important. The second one featured-carousel is for specific css styling.

k) Save the setting – then refresh your homepage and your sliders should work.

Just though it would be nice to put a how to! Of course you could just hire us 🙂

Simply add this to web.config file:

<rule name=”rule 1v” stopProcessing=”true”>
<match url=”^/*$” />
<action type=”Rewrite” url=”//mm5/merchant.mvc” />
</rule>

Adding this code to the web.config file if I now go to http://www.MYDOMAIN.com it will load the miva homepage without redirecting.
