The OpenUI SuperMod can be used for most display
modifications and tweaks, even those that are conditional. With the advent of OpenUI Expression evaluation, almost any MIVA Merchant API function can be called from within a template or a VMod. This provides the ultimate in display and execution control within your MIVA Merchant store.
*Note: While many API functions are available, general database creation and writing routines are not provided by the OpenUI SuperMod or OpenUI unless you are using MvSQL-QUERY and OpenXB. Therefore custom programming that requires new databases is not possible.
