OpenUI module 1

[technoknow]

When trying to install the OpenUI module using the wizard I get an error message that MIVA Empresa Engine Version 4.0101 is unsupported. I've contacted OLM to have them upgrade the Empresa, but I havent't heard back, is there a way to install it without using the wizard?
Thanks,

It's unlikely OLM is going to upgrade MVM any time soon.

At the OpenUI site I saw this:

http://www.openui.org/docs/html/INSTALL/index.html

which specifically mentions OLM as one of the "problem" hosts related to OUI. The page also gives hope of some workarounds.

I've opened a ticket at Openui.org to see if they can help.
It seems that you really don't have much design control without having the OpenUi module. I'm trying to list multiple products on the same page but can't get multiple columns. If I'm not able to install the OpenUI would another plugin for the MMUI help me with design issues?
Thanks,

We use the OUI-based product and category templates, and they certainly give you pretty much unlimited control over the display in the main area of the screen.

For MMUI, try this:

I've never used this templates-for-MMUI product, so I can't advise on its quality.

Dynamic Templates is a terrific package. The screens are controlled by template files (screen.*.tmpl, for the most part) that are stored in the miva data directory. You edit them with any text editor (probably one that supports *nix line endings) and then upload the changes. It's the same method for using templates with the OpenUI Supermod, but doesn't require OUI.

That said...4.0101 is terrible and OLM is not a very reputable Miva host. We left them way back in our infancy. You should really look into Hostasaurus, Cybrhost, Driftwood, or DotComDesigners. All have excellent reputations.

Yes, I agree that OLM is a terrible host, Ive since moved to Cybrhost and haven't had any problems at all. They supply OpenDesigner with their package and it is really the answer to all my dreams!
