Hi,

I changed a few bits and use this code.

tpl_header ->

Hope this helps. :thumbsup:

Kims' code does work but only if you have set your admin settings (configuration>layout settings>Shopping Cart (show totals) to 0, ie OFF. You can easily change this by removing the IF statement altogether so the basket summary always shows in the header OR change the code to read

Ok - Im going to show how little I know about this stuff....

Where should I paste this code in order to show the cart summary in my header section ?

Help would be a life saver !

You should update the file includes/templates/template_default/common/tpl_header.php and place in your override directory (ie includes/templates/yourOverrideDirectory/common).

thanks sparkle

Hey everyone,

I am only getting the total number of different products in the cart. Although, many of my products are quantity based. Is there a way to edit the total number to be of quantity products, and not just products??

thanks in advance.

<li>My Cart: <span class="style1">
	<?php echo sizeof($_SESSION['cart']->get_products()); ?>  items  
 	<?php $header_cart = $currencies->format($_SESSION['cart']->show_total());  
	echo $header_cart;
	?>
</span>
<br class="clearBoth" />
</li>

Hope this helps. :thumbsup:

Works perfect, mate! I added a bit of code to make it a little more precise. ;)

Basically if there is one item, it now just says "1 item" and if there's more than one it says "2 (or however many) items"

Useless change, really, but I'm a stickler! :P

By the way, I put mine in the main template, since I'm not using the header at all.

I used the code above to add the shopping cart to my header(http://dropyourdrawers.net/shop), how do I get it to move all the way to the right of the header? I've been playing around with it for an hour and can't figure it out. Thank you!

Can someone please advise where in the code I put this new code? Do I replace code or do I add it and where?

Much much appreciated :smile:,

Hi Lynn,

put following code or some of the earlier examples to your template_header.php. If you want your cart to be for example inside navCatTabsWrapper, then put this code inside those divs and just under the navCatTabs closing div. Or you can put it anywhere you like.

<div id="headerCart">

    <ul class="hCart">

      <li><?php echo $_SESSION['cart']->count_contents() . HEADER_TITLE_CART_ITEMS ;?></li>

      <li><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CART_AMOUNT . $currencies->format($_SESSION['cart']->show_total());?></li>

      <li class="cartLink"><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_SHOPPING_CART, '', 'NONSSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CART_CONTENTS; ?></a></li>

    </ul>

    </div>

If you are using code above, you have to define those TEXTs in languages/english/your_template/header.php.

Depending of where you put your code, you need to use css to float new #headerCart div to its place. And if above code is used, css also needs this

#headerCart ul li{

display: inline;

}
to show list inline.

Is this right? I have this code in my header:

<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>

It seems to be working. Only I want to remove the "Weight" and "Check Out" options from the header. I just want the Shopping Cart, Total Items, and Price. What and how should I blankout the other two?

Actually its still not quite working right. When I add products to the cart, it show in the header the quantity, price etc, but when I click on "continue shopping" all of that info dissappears except for the "Shopping Cart" link.:huh:

Hi there, sorry to drag this old thread up but I have the "shopping cart total in header" mod - which is just the bit of code in the above post - installed and I'm having the same problem that if you add 2 of one kind of a product it gives the total as 1 rather than 2. In otherwords it counts the number of different types of product inthe cart rather than the number of items.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

cheers

heres the cart - https://www.babyclothingcentral.co.uk

The code by scubyfan, post #12 gives you number of Items, not number of Products.

Hats Off to scubyfan for sharing. :smile:

Good stuff scubyfan. Thank you.

Did anybody manage to add a little shopping cart image to this code? I would like the cart to be clickable, just like the text link. Any input would be appreciated.
