Anatomy of a Page

---

One of the most powerful features of Miva is the ability to customize every aspect of the look and feel for every page of the store. Miva gives full control for every design element through what Miva calls “Pages.” Pages are essentially different templates for different parts of your store. The storefront has its own page and so does the category page and the product page.

The Pages section, can be found by navigating to user interface within the Miva admin. This section includes individual templates that control each user facing web page on the store. A default store comes with about 80 page templates, and new pages are always being created as features are constantly added to the software.

When a record is selected the ... more button will appear, this option will allow you to copy or delete the page along with exporting a CSV containing all the data in the batch list. This functionality can be done throughout the admin interface.

Selecting the record will take you to the Edit Page section which will include a Details tab along with other sections that correspond to the Items that are assigned to the page. The location that these sections display can be customized by selecting and holding on any tab. This will trigger the Edit Tab Display Order modal so you can choose the location of any tab.

The default templates in each section are simply a mix of HTML, Miva Items, and Miva Template language which includes variables, entities, conditionals and so on. Some other languages like CSS and JavaScript can be included within these templates as well.
