1. I want to make it so when the cart is empty it does not show
items: 0 amount: o.oo in myheader but appear when it has contents. or just hide it om the Home page would probably work for me.

2.nd How can I change its font and font color. I can't seem to fix that either.

Might try:

  if ($_SESSION['cart']->count_contents() > 0) {
// do something
} else {
// do something else
}

cheer up and try this:

Just add it where you want and you'll get the same as the example:

<?php if ($_SESSION['cart']->count_contents() != 0) { ?>
    You have <?php echo $_SESSION['cart']->count_contents(); ?> <?php echo $_SESSION['cart']->count_contents() == "1" ? "item " : "items " ; ?> in your <a href="shopping_cart.html" target="_top">basket</a>
<?php }?>

Here is what I have so far:::>
<?php
} else {
if (STORE_STATUS == '0') {
?>
<li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_LOGIN, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_LOGIN; ?></a></li>
<?php } } ?>
<?php if ($_SESSION['cart']->count_contents() != 0) { ?>
You have <?php echo $_SESSION['cart']->count_contents(); ?> <?php echo $_SESSION['cart']->count_contents() == "1" ? "item " : "items " ; ?> in your <a href="shopping_cart.html" target="_top">basket</a>
<?php }?>
<?php
if (SHOW_TOTALS_IN_CART == '0') {
echo TEXT_TOTAL_ITEMS . '&nbsp;&nbsp;' . $_SESSION['cart']->count_contents() . '&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;' . TEXT_TOTAL_AMOUNT . $currencies->format($_SESSION['cart']->show_total());
}
?>

<?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 }?>

</ul>

I just added this part of it from BIGboy:

<?php if ($_SESSION['cart']->count_contents() != 0) { ?>
You have <?php echo $_SESSION['cart']->count_contents(); ?> <?php echo $_SESSION['cart']->count_contents() == "1" ? "item " : "items " ; ?> in your <a href="shopping_cart.html" target="_top">basket</a>
<?php }?>


It doesn't seem to work unless I delete:::>

if (SHOW_TOTALS_IN_CART == '0') {
echo TEXT_TOTAL_ITEMS . '&nbsp;&nbsp;' . $_SESSION['cart']->count_contents() . '&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;' . TEXT_TOTAL_AMOUNT . $currencies->format($_SESSION['cart']->show_total());
}
?>


Then I get what I want- nothing on the home page if cart is empty. EXCEPT I tested it and if not logged in or logged in and add something to cart and then select home. BAM- gone --cart is emptied all together in both options. Also when logged in the logg off options are gone also-

can anyone help fix my code. that tulips site has it perfectly.

No Basket info until something is added to the cart- then its there until you nav away from page or empty cart.

4am- figured it out- GOT COOKIES?- Need them for this to work!!

Thanks Bigbadboy-

I deleted that code and turned cookies on (my firefox dumpded all my settings some how I didn't even know until i did a re start!) and Wallah!!

Exactly what I needed-
