How to show product quantity in BIG BOLD fonts at top of page?

[zenartman]

1. I have a specific need to show remaining product quantity near the top of the product page. How can it be shown there in big, BOLD fonts?

2. is it possible to delete the header? How? The reason is I wold like to wrap zencart in another CMS.

Thank you all.

In /includes/templates/your_template/templates/tpl_product_info_display.php, copy this line from the product details list section (comment out the original line if you wish)

  <?php echo (($flag_show_product_info_quantity == 1) ? '<li>' . $products_quantity . TEXT_PRODUCT_QUANTITY . '</li>'  : '') . "\n"; ?>

and paste it near the top of the file, depending on exactly where you want it to appear. Modify it to swap the <li> tags for <div id="quantityTop"> and </div>

  <?php echo (($flag_show_product_info_quantity == 1) ? '<div id="quantityTop">' . $products_quantity . TEXT_PRODUCT_QUANTITY . '</div>'  : '') . "\n"; ?>

Now you can style #quantityTop {} in your stylesheet.

You can turn off the header in /includes/templates/your_template/common/tpl_main_page.php. There are comments at the top if the file that explain it.
You say "wrap zencart in another CMS"... are you intending to use an iframe? If so, you will have big problems, as iframes will block payment processors. Also, they will prevent search engines from seeing your store.

Thank you very much. This is how zencart sets itself apart from other shopping carts.

I mean zencart forum. I'am trying to put it in joomla as there's no integration or bridge. I don't know if Joomla wrap is iframe. If it blocks payment processors, then there's no point putting them together. if search engines don't see , then that's even worse.

Thank you for warning me of this. I'm not sure , at this moment, if this will end up successful

Joomla wrappers are done with iframes, so you can't insert Zencart that way.

[zenartman]

Thank you for the feedback. So i have to use either zencart wholly for a project or joomla plus virtuemart

I'm not much impressed by Virtuemart.

Another way to go would be to install Zencart in a subdirectory, style it to look like the Joomla site and link to it from the Joomla site.

Unless you have a whole lot of non-cart stuff that you can't use EZ pages for, though, I would recommend just using Zencart.
