"Shopping Cart" and "Checkout" link...

In that little region selected in the picture, whenever something is added to the cart the words "Shopping Cart" and "Checkout" come up. How can I make it so they are always there, instead of just when something is added to the cart?

Open up includes/templates/yourtemplate/common/tpl_header.php

Look for:

<?php if ($_SESSION['cart']->count_contents() != 0) { ?>
    <li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_SHOPPING_CART, '', 'NONSSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CART_CONTENTS; ?></a></li>
    <li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT_SHIPPING, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CHECKOUT; ?></a></li>
<?php }?>

And change to:

<li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_SHOPPING_CART, '', 'NONSSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CART_CONTENTS; ?></a></li>
    <li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT_SHIPPING, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CHECKOUT; ?></a></li>

Hope that helps :)

Maybe this is what I need.

Situation:

A product is chosen and put in the cart. Then you can view the cart and the "Go to check out" link is there.

But, if you go back to shopping, the "Go to Check out" link is gone even though there is product in the cart.

So, is the method described above the way to get the "go to check out" link to display at all times when a product is in the cart?

If so, which of those codes should I change just to get the "go to check out" link displayed at all times when the cart is 'full'?

Thanks,
