Scot's FAQ Manager / Installation

Installation

Step 1: Install the Module

Note: Scot's Scripts will install this module for a small fee if you don't want to. However, the install is not difficult, so give it a shot!

• Install the module by opening the Global Settings section of the left menu in your Miva Merchant administration
• click the add link next to Modules and upload the module, MvFAQ.mvc.
• click on the Utilities link in the left menu and check the box for the MvFAQ module on the screen that coes up. Then click the update button.
• Open the Utilities section of the left menu (click on the plus sign) and then click on the MvFAQ Manager link to get started.

Step 2: Set up the FAQS Page

When you installed the module, two pages were created. MvFAQ_CSS and MvFAQ_HTML. The CSS code will be inserted into the head of your FAQ page, and the HTML code will be inserted into the page you're going to use for your FAQ system. This will be explained in detail below.

First, decide which page will host your FAQ system. Usually Miva Merchant creates a page with the code FAQS during install that you can use. However, any page will work and you can change things around as much as you want with minimal effort.

Put the following code in the main content area of your FAQS page. Make sure this page doesn't have anything else taking up the content area, like a category tree on the left. The stock scotfaq tree has it's own left menu and needs the space.

<mvt:item name="scotfaq" param="render_page:scotfaq_HTML" />

Assign the Page Item

Click on the Items tab and make sure the scotfaq item is assigned to the page.

Assign CSS to the Page

Put the following page code in the head area of your FAQs page. Note that all scotfaq CSS starts with scotfaq_ to minimize any chance of CSS mangling.

<mvt:item name="scotfaq" param="render_page:scotfaq_CSS" />

Tip: You can use that page render trick on any page in your store.
