The prompt and prompt image URL are used in the prompt to display the Express Order form if you are using the OpenUI
The default column headings are Product Code and Quantity. You can change those labels.
You can add a header and footer to the screen which contains the Express Order form.
If you are using the Miva Merchant User Interface (mmui) you will need to make some very simple edits to the core files. Be sure to do that with a text editor (NO WYSIWYG editors) such as Programmer's File Editor (PFE) so as not to damage the mv files. ALWAYS BACKUP your unmodified mv files in case you make a mistake.
1)You can put a button on your nav bar, category column, or the store
front description area for express ordering. Here is the code I inserted in
the mmui.mv MMUI_Begin_Screen function just above the last </TABLE>
tag in that function.
<MvDO FILE="{g.Module_Root$'modules/ui/express.mv'}" NAME = "l.showexpressbutton" VALUE = "{ Express_Open_Store() }">
<FORM METHOD = "post" ACTION = "&[ g.sessionurl ]">
<TR><TD>
<INPUT TYPE = "hidden" NAME = "Store_Code" VALUE = "&[ Stores.d.code:entities ]">
<INPUT TYPE = "hidden" NAME = "Screen" VALUE = "EXOR">
<MvIF EXPR = "{Express.d.imageurl}">
<INPUT TYPE = "image" ALT = "&[Express.d.prompt:entities]" SRC = "&[Express.d.imageurl:entities]" BORDER = 0>
<MvELSE>
<INPUT TYPE = "submit" VALUE = "&[Express.d.prompt:entities]">
</MvIF>
</TD></TR>
</FORM>
<MvDO FILE="{g.Module_Root$'modules/ui/express.mv'}" NAME = "l.showexpressbutton" VALUE = "{ Express_Close_Store() }">
2) In the mmui.mv file locate the UIModule_Dispatch function. Add the
following code in that function just as the other screen types already there.
Put this code in the latter half of the function, not near the beginning of
the UIModule_Dispatch function.
<MvIF EXPR = "{ g.Screen EQ 'EXOR'}">
<MvDO FILE="express.mv" NAME = "l.ok" VALUE = "{ MMUI_Express_Order() }">
</MvIF>
If you are upgrading from a previous version of this module to the compiled version, this paragraph may apply to you. The compiled version of this module licensed on or after November 7, 2003 has a new link for calling the customer entry screen. So if you have a button or link on a static page to call the customer entry screen, you will need to change the Screen to NEW and include SubScreen=EXOR. You will also be installing a new file called cim_new.mvc.
