This is how BYOD editor looks like when you land it from the Visual Designer area.


You can use the global variables in any of the view files. Here are all the global variables available for a BYOD template.

  • css: This folder contains all the stylesheet files used for the template.
  • img : This folder contains all types of images used for this template.
  • js: This folder contains all the javascript files used for the template.
  • pages: This folder contains all the view files in html format along with PHP and Vue js component structure wise to load page contents from template that allows you to declaratively bind the rendered DOM to the underlying Vue instance's data and are valid HTML that can be parsed by spec-compliant browsers and HTML parsers.
  • widgets: All the basic page elements(Header, Footer, Navigation, Banner, My Profile sections, etc.) are combined into this folder structure to render it dynamically based on individual template wise with separate variants.
  • Apart from all these directories, there are some files which reside outside the main location like; layout.php, layout.js, header.php, footer.php, script.php.

All the view files need to be at the same location as you see in the screenshot.view files provide the base HTML structure that wraps web page content.

layout.js, layout.php file is the file responsible for the backbone of all pages in the website which renders all common stylesheet, JS script to all pages thoroughly.

It is possible to Change/Modify the default/base color, styling, etc. CSS property of any template using two ways.

  • From CMS >> Manage Website >> Customize Template >> Visual Designer >> BYOD - Code Editor. In the Code editor open the "css" directory and look for the "style.css" file. This file is the default CSS property file for the whole template you have selected. Here you can write or change any CSS property based on your requirement.
  • You can also write your own custom CSS class and property into a "local.css" file which will act as your template specific changes you have made for your store and always remain separate from default CSS files. So it will not conflict with existing CSS files.

Requirement

  1. You need to have basic knowledge in smarty. Our template integration is based on smarty.
  2. Bootstrap is essential for customization of Muvi Template.
  3. From a design perspective, Need basic understanding of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
  4. More technical background, You need Vue.Js knowledge to import, export, manage components, template parts, etc to modify widgets.

Global Variables

You can use the global variables in any of the view files. Those global variables are also available in two format :

1) PHP format

Here are all the PHP global variables available for a BYOD template which are placed into layout.php file as below:

2) JS format

Here are all the JS global variables available for a BYOD template which are placed into resources/views/assets/js/web-service-url.js file as below:

Layout Structure

  • Template layouts should be directly in the template/default folder,so that any page can use it.
  • If the layout has any components then create a layout.js at the same path and include it in your layout file.


  • There are some global variables which should be initialized in the header of each layout like rootUrl, assetUrl, api_gateway, domain_url, ip. And the access token and refresh token will be added into the local storage.
  • The local.css and local.js file should be included at the end of section so that it will have the higher prioritization.

  • Inside the head tag there should be a tag <style id="vvvebjs-styles"> which is actually to hold the css customized from the vd application

  • The body-container section inside the body tag must have a class vd-<current_slug> which helps the vd application to add styling per page specific.

  • For all the content of header and footer add it inside header.php and footer.php respectively and its dependent script will be inside layout js.
  • Script.php file directly inside the default folder contains all the default js and css files which will be available to all the pages.

Page Structure

  • Each folder inside the pages folder must have a .php and .js file except 404 page. And each page file(.php and .js) name should be the same with the folder name.

  • Every page content should be inside the div container with one and only property id “app”. Inside the app container there will be no php or javascript functions/variables.

    • Note:You can use $rootUrl for any image src like things.

    The respective page js file will be included after the app container. See the home.js script file as reference.


  • Components which are included inside the page must have an id as identifier.Preferring id format like <slug>_<component_name>_<count>

  • To pass the parameters to the component use the keyword label along with an integer count(like; label1, label2, …).
  • For the components added in the header or footer files should use the class as header or footer respectively.
  • For any static label use the class i18n to the parent container for the multilingual support.
  • For any anchor tag() use the class callByAjax for sticky loading(like; audio player).
  • In the page js file, the component import path will always be relative and start from the folder widgets. For example,

  • Component alias name will always be the same as component name in the import statement and components variable declaration statement.

  • All the required components will be initiated inside components variable objects and will be used inside the Vue.createApp script. For example;

  • If there are no components used inside the page then the js file will contain the below dump script.

Widget Structure

  • Components/widgets reside in resources/views/widgets directory.

  • When a customer choose a template then the complete widget directory copy to that customers local directory.
  • Components present in the widgets folder have different purposes,functionality and UI.
  • Each component can have different variants,each variant itself a js file.
  • Each component variant file name should be <componentname>-<variantcount>.js.

  • Component variant name always be the same as component variant file name only replace the hyphen with underscore.

  • If the parent component contains any child component, the import path will always be relative and start from the folder widgets.
  • The component template should start and end with vd-component tag.vd-component element will have
    1. class property with value vd and component file name
    2. Type property with value component file name


  • All the labels passed from the pages should be encoded in vd-component-param tag inside the widget with the property v-html and i18n function to support multilingual.

  • Child components which are injected in a parent component will use the parent id along with its own alias and count as an identifier.

  • Child components will take the parameters from the parent component.
  • Frequently used functions file path
    1. resources/views/assets/js/i18n.js have function i18n for language translation.
    2. resources/views/assets/js/webservice-url.js have functions getBaseUrl for apigateway, getRootUrl for url upto customers local directory and getAssetUrl for url upto assets folder.

  • Each component variant should be listed in the respective widget.json file.Widget json file will have the below data.
    1. variant_label:It is like the title/label of the variant.
    2. variant_name:Name of the variant that is added in the js file.
    3. image:image name which is shows the UI of the variant and images are stored in assets/img folder
    4. data:Data contains the json format of all the parameters that are being passed to the component except the id
    5. variable_Data:Except label and id all should be in the variable _data in json format.These are the data which are like variables that we are passing as parameter to the component
    6. description:Description of the variant which is optional
    7. page_tag:This says that for which page this is component is applicable.For all page the value is * and for no page the value is blank ””.
    8. template_tag:This says for which template it is applicable.For all template the value is * .
    9. path:Path value is relative to the widgets folder.
    10. category:Value is static .i.e;“muvi”

New widget adding process

Widget is nothing but a combined script of ui and functionality.If we think the script can be used in more than one page then we will make it as a component/widget which can be reused.

  • Add a folder inside widgets/
  • Put your vue component file in that folder
  • To include the widget to a specific page suppose in the home page, create a home folder inside pages. Add two files inside this, one is home.php and home.js.
    1. Home.php file will have the vue component,parameters that we want to pass to the component and include script of home.js
    2. Home.js fill will import the required components and mount with the container

Example code for Widget

Home.php


                  <div id=”app”>
                   
                  <purchase_history_one
                      label1="Purchase History"
                      label2="Receipt"
                      label3="No data found"
                  /> 
                  </div>
                   
                  <script src="pages/home/home.js" type="module"></script>

Home.js

 import purchase_history_one from './../../widgets/purchase-history/purchase-history-one.js';
 Var components={purchase_history_one:purchase_history_one};
 const app = Vue.createApp({
 components:components,
 });
 app.mount("#app ");

Here purchase-history-one is the widget present in widgets/purchase-history Label1, Label2, Label3, …etc are the variable values passed to the widget.

Declaring widget template

template:

`<vd-component class="vd purchase-history-one" type="purchase-history-one">
<div class="row">  
<div class="col-xs-12 col-sm-12 col-md-12 col-lg-12 col-xl-12">
  <h1 class="dashboard-heading white-color mbottom-020">
  <vd-component-param type="label1" v-html=”i18n($attrs['label1'])”></vd-component-param>
</h1>
</div>
</div>
</vd-component>`

Component template should start and end with vd-component tag with

class="<vd component-name>" type=”<component name>”

For example:

<vd-component class=”vd purchase-history-one” type="purchase-history-one">

All variable from page will be get used in widget in below format 


<vd-component-param type="label1"v-html=”i18n($attrs['label1'])”></vd-component-param>
