Shopping cart totals on all pages?

Hi All
I'm trying to display the cart totals in navmain on all pages. eg. Total Items: 1 Amount: £38.29. I can get it to work if I paste

into the navmain div in tpl_header. But, it only appears on the shopping cart page. I'm guessing that $totalsDisplay isn't available in pages other than the shopping cart - is this correct?. How can I ensure it always appears in navmain on any page?

The site is here

NB you have to add something to the cart to get to the Shopping Cart page.
Thank you!, Steve

for number of items in cart:

<li><?php echo $_SESSION['cart']->count_contents() . HEADER_TITLE_CART_ITEMS; ?></li>
```for total amount in cart:

```html
<li><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CART_AMOUNT . $currencies->format($_SESSION['cart']->show_total()); ?></li>
```These are not copied/pasted, so there might be mistakes. Hope this helps though.

Thanks jarsa

That almost worked but I needed to define HEADER_TITLE_CART_ITEMS and HEADER_TITLE_CART_AMOUNT. I used your suggestion with a slight modification. ie I added

to the navmain section in tpl_header and then copy and pasted the definitions from shopping_cart.php to my custom english.php

define('TEXT_TOTAL_ITEMS', 'Total Items: ');
define('TEXT_TOTAL_AMOUNT', '  Amount: ')

Thanks for your help!

There's a cart-contents addon in the Free Addons area which can be used as content for your header or as a sidebox. You might look at it for inspiration.

Thanks DrByte. Will do

Very helpful answer for pages within zen cart, but how would I go about displaying this information on pages on my website outside of the zencart folder?

I am putting ```

but this only outputs "Shopping Cart [", basically getting stuck at the php code.

What can I put in the code of these external pages to tell them where to find the zencart data/variables?

Thanks!

Are your outside pages .php?

Yes, they are all .php pages.
