Can shopping cart go in header?

[ginginca]

I can't seem to find a config or a mod to have the shopping cart contents appear in the header whether there's something in them or not. Though I have seen this done on other ZC sites.

I can only get it to appear in a column (and only appears when there is something in it.)

Can someone direct me please?

Thanks.

I'm not sure if there's a MOD etc ... but if anyone else is looking to do this, I just added a few images into the header manually, and then put links on it:

catalog/index.php?main_page=checkout_payment
catalog/index.php?main_page=shopping_cart


But I'm still looking for a way to view the cart contents in the header (how many items etc)

[crazy_chris]

to get the same display as in the shopping_cart sidebox, add this code at the bottom (or anywhere else) of "YOUR_TEMPLATE_DIR/common/tpl_header.php"

the cart-content is wrapped in a <div> tag with the id "header_cart".
you'd need to position and format it to your needs.

$header_cart = "<div id='header_cart'>"; 
  if ($_SESSION['cart']->count_contents() > 0) {
  $header_cart .= '<ul>' . "\n";
    $products = $_SESSION['cart']->get_products();
    for ($i=0, $n=sizeof($products); $i<$n; $i++) {
      $header_cart .= '<li>';

      if (($_SESSION['new_products_id_in_cart']) && ($_SESSION['new_products_id_in_cart'] == $products[$i]['id'])) {
        $header_cart .= '<span class="cartNewItem">';
      } else {
        $header_cart .= '<span class="cartOldItem">';
      }

      $header_cart .= $products[$i]['quantity'] . BOX_SHOPPING_CART_DIVIDER . '</span><a class="font_green" href="' . zen_href_link(zen_get_info_page($products[$i]['id']), 'products_id=' . $products[$i]['id']) . '">';

      if (($_SESSION['new_products_id_in_cart']) && ($_SESSION['new_products_id_in_cart'] == $products[$i]['id'])) {
        $header_cart .= '<span class="cartNewItem">';
      } else {
        $header_cart .= '<span class="cartOldItem">';
      }

      $header_cart .= $products[$i]['name'] . '</span></a></li>' . "\n";

      if (($_SESSION['new_products_id_in_cart']) && ($_SESSION['new_products_id_in_cart'] == $products[$i]['id'])) {
        $_SESSION['new_products_id_in_cart'] = '';
      }
    }
    $header_cart .= '</ul>' . "\n";
  } else {
    $header_cart .= '<div id="cartBoxEmpty">' . BOX_SHOPPING_CART_EMPTY . '</div>';
  }

  if ($_SESSION['cart']->count_contents() > 0) {
    $header_cart .= '<hr />';
    $header_cart .= '<div class="cartBoxTotal">' . $currencies->format($_SESSION['cart']->show_total()) . '</div>';
//    $header_cart .= '<br class="clearBoth" />';
  }

$header_cart .= "</div>";
echo $header_cart;

Thanks ... I was thinking of doing that if there was nothing in the admin panel. I just wasn't sure if I was making it too complex!

Thanks for the reply!

This code will list every item.

Can I change it to instead say # of items?

<li>Cart Contents: 
<?php
$header_cart = "<div id='header_cart'>"; 
  if ($_SESSION['cart']->count_contents() > 0) {
  $header_cart .= '<ul>' . "\n";
    $products = $_SESSION['cart']->get_products();
    for ($i=0, $n=sizeof($products); $i<$n; $i++) {
      $header_cart .= '<li>';

      if (($_SESSION['new_products_id_in_cart']) && ($_SESSION['new_products_id_in_cart'] == $products[$i]['id'])) {
        $header_cart .= '<span class="cartNewItem">';
      } else {
        $header_cart .= '<span class="cartOldItem">';
      }

      $header_cart .= $products[$i]['quantity'] . BOX_SHOPPING_CART_DIVIDER . '</span><a class="font_green" href="' . zen_href_link(zen_get_info_page($products[$i]['id']), 'products_id=' . $products[$i]['id']) . '">';

      if (($_SESSION['new_products_id_in_cart']) && ($_SESSION['new_products_id_in_cart'] == $products[$i]['id'])) {
        $header_cart .= '<span class="cartNewItem">';
      } else {
        $header_cart .= '<span class="cartOldItem">';
      }

      $header_cart .= $products[$i]['name'] . '</span></a></li>' . "\n";

      if (($_SESSION['new_products_id_in_cart']) && ($_SESSION['new_products_id_in_cart'] == $products[$i]['id'])) {
        $_SESSION['new_products_id_in_cart'] = '';
      }
    }
    $header_cart .= '</ul>' . "\n";
  } else {
    $header_cart .= '<div id="cartBoxEmpty">' . BOX_SHOPPING_CART_EMPTY . '</div>';
  }

  if ($_SESSION['cart']->count_contents() > 0) {
    $header_cart .= '<hr />';
    $header_cart .= '<div class="cartBoxTotal">' . $currencies->format($_SESSION['cart']->show_total()) . '</div>';
//    $header_cart .= '<br class="clearBoth" />';
  }

$header_cart .= "</div>";
echo $header_cart;  ?>
</li>

[crazy_chris]

sure

this is line 5:

    for ($i=0, $n=sizeof($products); $i<$n; $i++) { 

change it to:

    for ($i=0, $n=sizeof($products); (($i<$n) && ($i < YOUR_MAX_NUMBER)); $i++) { 

[ginginca]

The list is now gone which is good.

But I'm not seeing the total number of products appearing.

Do I now need to echo out $n?

<li>Cart Contents: 
<?php
$header_cart = "<div id='header_cart'>"; 
  if ($_SESSION['cart']->count_contents() > 0) {
  $header_cart .= '<ul>' . "\n";
    $products = $_SESSION['cart']->get_products();
    for ($i=0, $n=sizeof($products); (($i<$n) && ($i < YOUR_MAX_NUMBER)); $i++) {  
      $header_cart .= '<li>';

      if (($_SESSION['new_products_id_in_cart']) && ($_SESSION['new_products_id_in_cart'] == $products[$i]['id'])) {
        $header_cart .= '<span class="cartNewItem">';
      } else {
        $header_cart .= '<span class="cartOldItem">';
      }

      $header_cart .= $products[$i]['quantity'] . BOX_SHOPPING_CART_DIVIDER . '</span><a class="font_green" href="' . zen_href_link(zen_get_info_page($products[$i]['id']), 'products_id=' . $products[$i]['id']) . '">';

      if (($_SESSION['new_products_id_in_cart']) && ($_SESSION['new_products_id_in_cart'] == $products[$i]['id'])) {
        $header_cart .= '<span class="cartNewItem">';
      } else {
        $header_cart .= '<span class="cartOldItem">';
      }

      $header_cart .= $products[$i]['name'] . '</span></a></li>' . "\n";

      if (($_SESSION['new_products_id_in_cart']) && ($_SESSION['new_products_id_in_cart'] == $products[$i]['id'])) {
        $_SESSION['new_products_id_in_cart'] = '';
      }
    }
    $header_cart .= '</ul>' . "\n";
  } else {
    $header_cart .= 'Total Items: 0 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;  $0.00';
  }

  if ($_SESSION['cart']->count_contents() > 0) {
    // $header_cart .= '<hr />';  // commented out the HR above the total spent.
    $header_cart .= '<div class="cartBoxTotal">' . $currencies->format($_SESSION['cart']->show_total()) . '</div>';
//    $header_cart .= '<br class="clearBoth" />';
  }

$header_cart .= "</div>";
echo $header_cart;  ?>
</li>

[ginginca]

This might be another way to do it:

<?php if (!empty($totalsDisplay)) { ?>
  <div class="cartTotalsDisplay important"><?php echo $totalsDisplay; ?></div>
  <br class="clearBoth" />
<?php } ?>

??

[ginginca]

Okay this works:

<li>Cart Contents: 
  <div class="cartTotalsDisplay important"><?php echo $totalsDisplay; ?></div>
  <br class="clearBoth" />

</li>

I just need to remove the WEIGHT.

[crazy_chris]

hey, sorry; i think i misunderstood your question.

forget about "(($i<$n) && ($i < YOUR_MAX_NUMBER))"

if you just want to output the total number of displayed products, this piece of code should be sufficient (placed somewhere after the cart-display code):

<?php echo $n; ?>

you could output the number of products in the cart anywhere (without the cart-code) like that:

<?php echo sizeof($_SESSION['cart']->get_products()); ?>
