View cart link in ezpage links header to SHOW ALWAYS

I have three links in the header "navezpagesTOP" section, one of which is the View Cart link. Normally that link does not appear unless there is something in the cart.

How do I get that link to appear always, even when the cart is empty?
thanks,

You will need to remove the conditional from the code. Please post your /YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_header.php

I hope this is what you meant by "Please post your.... " Here it is: I see no conditional in the code relating to the question.

?>

<?php
  // Display all header alerts via messageStack:
  if ($messageStack->size('header') > 0) {
    echo $messageStack->output('header');
  }
  if (isset($_GET['error_message']) && zen_not_null($_GET['error_message'])) {
  echo htmlspecialchars(urldecode($_GET['error_message']));
  }
  if (isset($_GET['info_message']) && zen_not_null($_GET['info_message'])) {
   echo htmlspecialchars($_GET['info_message']);
} else {

}
?>

And your URL?

Did anyone find a solution for this. very curious, please post. Thanks!

found the answer in another thread.

http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=128346#post733460

move link outside of php conditional.
includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_header.php

find

change to

Obaa-san:

url - http://212.72.183.145/

So, I got it, thanks to both responders. I have this now in my tpl_ezpages_bar_header.php (not tpl_header.php)

<li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_LOGIN, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_LOGIN; ?></a></li>
<?php } } ?>
<!--changed lines 36-38 -->
<li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_SHOPPING_CART, '', 'NONSSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CART_CONTENTS; ?></a></li>
    <li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT_SHIPPING, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CHECKOUT; ?></a></li>
<?php if ($_SESSION['cart']->count_contents() != 0) { ?>

• which enables both view cart and checkout links to appear always. Now I just have to move them over to the right where they belong, that's a simple CSS problem. The forums support have come thru again, I must say it stretches my skills as a web designer to be able to solve these problems thru the .... you get the pic.
