Shopping Cart Size box not showing!

Hello everyone! i have this problem that my sidebox shopping cart isn't showing. It's like invisible. When i tried adding products, the items will show at the side box but the shopping cart box itself isn't showing.:( I just want the shopping cart to appear there even if it's 0 items quantity. Please help! Any suggestions would be really helpful!

Thanks so much in advance!:smile:

Have you tried playing with the different options in the Shopping Cart Box Status field under Configuration > Layout settings?

Do you have a link to your site and what version of Zen Cart are you using?

yes i did turn on the shopping cart in every way i can. But it's really not showing. I want it to appear on the left sidebox even with 0 items. But it's really like invisible. It'll show up there if i only add products but still no box at all. Just the products. It's like floating.
Please help!:frusty:

It shows in the right sidebox under the New Products box when there's someting in it, so check that Admin - Configuration - Layout Settings - Shopping Cart Box Status is set to 0 and you can move it to the left side in Admin - Tools - Layout Boxes Controller.

The header for that box has been set to white, so it doesn't show up even though it's there. You'll have to mess with the css - add this to your stylesheet so you can see where things are now:

#shoppingcartHeading {background-color:#ff0000;}

Hi stevesh!

Im making the changes right now. Im setting up my store alone. I don't know which file need to input the code you gave. Sorry for my lack of knowledge. Please bear with me. :smile:

it's the same thing with INFORMATION BOX & MORE INFORMATION BOX. The box itself doesn't show because of the color as you said. Please guide me through step by step. Thanks for your patience!

Many thanks to you!!:smile:

Anytime you see a line that starts with a .something or #something followed by something in curly braces, it goes in the stylesheet (in your case, includes/templates/jewelry_store/css/stylesheet.css. Usually, you can add stuff anywhere in the stylesheet. I put the things I add at the end so I'll know what I added.

You need to install the Firefox browser and the Web Developer plugin for Firefox. You can use those to see where in the stylesheet you change the styling of the various sideboxes.

Ctrl-Shift-Y will allow you to hover over a section of the page and see the class and id names for that section in the box at the top. The statements in the stylesheet that begin with # are id's and the ones that begin with dots are classes.

Ctrl-Shift-E will open the CSS editor and allow you to edit the stylesheet and see the changes in real time without changing anything permanently. A very handy tool.

With most sideboxes in Zencart, the id with a 'Heading' after it will style the sidebox header. (Note:CSS is case-sensitive.) So, once I found (using Web Developer) that the shopping cart sidebox id is #shoppingcart, I added Heading to it and colored it red with that statement in my previous post. The information box would be #informationHeading.

Most important thing is to not let this stuff intimidate you. It's mostly a matter of just messing around and trying things.
