disable subcategory title/ h1

It looks like you would put both of those red sections into your tpl_header.php, below the cartcount div.
The first one has everything needed to calculate and display the free shipping, and the second one has the checkout link.
Make a single div to contain both of them, and give it an id like cartHeader, and position that in your stylesheet the same way as #cartCount.

moving in the right direction...

at least it didnt make my whole page disappear like normal when i try to add something... lol

if you look at site, you will see it just dumped the text of the code into the page, instead of actually processing the functions. i do not know php well enough to know what to change, but if i had to guess it would be, add a <?php to the top and a ?> to the bottom?????? :unsure:

your take?

Yep, you're right, the PHP code needs its tags for both sections.

There is also a little cleanup needed where the code came out of the longer file. After the first line, there is a } that is no longer useful.
Instead of

$content .=

you will want

echo

to output the content immediately instead of accumulating it.

Alternatively, you could leave the $content .= as is, and add a new line at the end:

so i need to tag each statement with <?php ?>
or just one at the beginning and one at the end?

im trying this now: (which made my page disappear! argh. i just cant learn this stuff fast enough, though ive absorbed so much in the last week and a half!)

Gjh42 and Cu,
What was the big fix for this neat little task in the header for the shopping cart add on

ok, i have tried adding the <?php and ?> to several spots... what i THINK are the logical places, but it really is just hit and miss for me, due to my lack of knowledge of php... (i cant cram the info in any faster!!!)

when you get a chance to look at this again, let me know.

here is my header file as it currently stands:

```Change the #cartCount in your stylesheet to #cartHead .

im so happy i could cry....

:clap::clap::clap:

wow. thank you so much! this is exactly what i wanted... (i told santa i wanted a pony for christmas, but i REALLY wanted this!!)

ok, just to finalize, i have 3 different divs now i can control:

1. carthead
2. cartcount
3. cartfreeship

if i want to move the whole thing around, or apply css to the whole thing, i use carthead, and if i want to change colors/font/size etc for anything individually, i can separately use cartcount and cartfreeship, correct?

i really like how you separated it all out.

glen, seriously, thank you very very much.

Cu,
I have noticed this on the Shopping Cart Page

You may want to add some instructions for using the shopping cart here. (defined in includes/languages/english/shopping_cart.php)

Boy, Thanks to Gjh42, What a nice looking header...

it is great! i am very happy with it.

thanks for reminding me about the "shopping cart instructions" just havent gotten to fixing that page yet.

also, i forgot i didnt put my search bar back in yet, so i think im going to take that fake "home" button back out, and just turn on that top nav bar that has home/login/search...

thanks again to gj for an awesome job! i know that this will help other folks too...

I'm working on packaging a mod for this... of course the code gets about three times as long when you properly separate the output text into a language file, and then there's the readme and the GPL license text... :)

heyyyy... it was JUST a suggestion... no cursing me while muttering under your breath... :)

(thanks again... )

WOW, I have been toying around with the cart in the header for a while and now found this thread. Awesome stuff, have to try it out. Thank you. :hug:

@mydanilo

Pays to read the subscription threads again when there is a reply. :)

Thanks to Gjh42

Cu,
includes/templates/darkness/css/stylesheet.css

Add this element to the sheet...

#indexCategoriesHeading {display: none;}

i added this to my includes/templates/cherry_zen/css/stylesheet.css and it didn't work.

I am wanting to remove the subcategory titles and have pics only on the subcategory menu page (hope i wrote that right)

ie; a picture with "car stickers" instead of a picture plus the words underneath it

Cheers
Grant.
