A tweak that may be useful is to add a link from the "Free shipping for orders of $xx or more" to the shipping & returns page, where customers can easily get the complete details.
In cart_header_defines.php, change this

define ('CART_HEADER_FREE_LIMIT_PRE','Free Shipping for orders of<br />'); 

to this

define ('CART_HEADER_FREE_LIMIT_PRE','<a href="index.php?main_page=shippinginfo">Free Shipping</a> for orders of<br />');

A quirk of the free shipping setup which is not explained in the readme is that there appear to be two places where this setting can be made.

Modules > Shipping > Free Shipping Options (freeoptions) actually causes the shipping to be free if over the set dollar amount.
The constant that free shipping alert mods use, MODULE_ORDER_TOTAL_SHIPPING_FREE_SHIPPING_OVER, is set in Modules > Order Total > Shipping (ot_shipping), and is not affected by the functional freeoptions setting.

So if you want both the shipping and the alert to work together, you need to make the same setting in both places.

Hello Glen,

On my website any order over $10 get 10% off. It does not show the discounted total. Is it possible to show discount in the total?

[gjh42]

Discounts are generally applied at checkout, so I don't think there is an easy way to get the discounted total to show in the header. You could write some custom code to do the test and calculation on the cart total.

Thank you, Glen!

Hello,

Did I miss something or why everything is showing up as text?

look here

And secondly, when I add the proposed definitions to my stylesheets my sidebox changes completely.

Any help would be much appreciated.

[gjh42]

The text you are seing is because those constants are not being defined. Did you add cart_header_defines.php to the correct folder, setting the folder name to your custom template?

When you say "added definitions to your stylesheet", do you mean the constant definitions mentioned above, or the style rules in the readme?
/*Shoppingcart/Freeship in Header*/
#headerWrapper {position: relative;}

#cartHeader {...

Those rules should not affect anything except the cart-header, except that the

#headerWrapper {position: relative;}

could affect any elements that are inside the header code and absolutely positioned (there won't be any such unless you have specifically made them so).
You might try commenting out this one rule; if that helps, you can rework the positioning properties as requred.

Oops... you're right. I tested it on my french site and the cart_header_defines.php slipped into my english folder.

The sidebox is also displying fine now. Maybe a drag and drop issue by myself.

Next time I will check thoroughly before posting.

Thank you for advice!
