help! How do I put code above entire cart layout?

[orfeus123]

Hey All,

I'm trying to put the menu from the rest of my site (it's not a shopping cart site all the way through) on top of shopping cart template, so it's the first thing you see at the top.

I've been searching for the page to edit and i can't seem to find it. I tried the index.php, header.php, define_main_page.php, etc. and haven't figured out how to do it. All I'm trying to do is stick a php includes line in there.

How do I go about doing this?

Thanks in advance

Mitch

try adding your code in
/includes/templates/nameofyourtemplate/common/tpl_header.php

Do understand that, if a customer has something in there cart and not logged in, the session will die when they leave to go to "home".

Might be a bit frustrating for the customer.

How about just adding a link to "Main Website" up next to Home and Login? At least they might realize they're leaving.

thanks guys,

but for some reason it's still not working. I tried placing the code below in as many different places as it made sense (within the tpl_header.php file), and nothing came of it.

I'm not a php expert in any sense, so what might seem obvious probably isn't for me

the code I'm using is:

<?php include 'menu.php'; ?>

The file is in the root directory, so it should be calling it just fine.

Where do I need to put it?

Thanks again

<?php include 'menu.php'; ?>

Make sure you have correct path to file..
i.e.
is menu.php in your
/includes/templates/nameofyourtemplate/common/
folder?

Yeah, everything is in the right directory. In fact, I've tested putting the file in different directories and still doesn't work.

I've now put the <?php include 'menu.php'; ?> snippet everywhere I possibly can (outside of other <?php ?> tags), and still nothing shows up.

Should I be trying to put the include call within some of the other php tags on the page? If so, where should I put it?

Should I be using a different command besides "include" ?

I am not a php expert at all. I'm only able to get by through trial and error... but for some reason this one ain't working. Is there another header file that I should be editing?

Anything you can give me would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks again
