How do I suppress product names in the Shopping Cart Sidebox?

Probably a simple solution for this somewhere, but I haven't been able to find one that works ...

I need to hide the product names in the Shopping Cart sidebox. This list gets very long sometimes with customers frequently adding up to 30 or 40 products to their carts.

Is there a way to configure the cart to do that, only displaying the total fiscal amount and maybe the total number of items in the cart?

Thanks for any help

I was wondering if you got an answer to this (or figured it out yourself). I would like to do the same thing....

Anyone know the answer?

can you tell me in detail what you want

what i mean:

you do not want to display any product name in shopping cart side box.

so what will remain in that box ?

only total price?

see do u want this?

Hi Indian,

I sent you an email. Yes, I want a cart similar to yours but showing total items. e.g 4 items, $27.99.

Thanks,

Amy

Hi Indian,

Could you just tell me how you suppressed the items in your shopping cart? Is there something I need to turn OFF?

Thanks,

Amy

You could also try out this download:

Hi, everyone.

I sort of solved this - the "bad" way.

I've edited the tpl_shopping_cart.php file. I know it's wrong, but I was desperate. I bypassed the loop traversing the $products. Adding only:

$content .= '<div id="cartBoxListWrapper"><ul><li>Contains ' . $_SESSION['cart']->count_contents() . ' item(s)' . '</li></ul></div>';

But that's not right either: if I add an amount that's not an integer value, the cart adds that to the count. And that's not wat I want either, but I see that there is a post here with a possible download to fix it. I'm shecking that out...

DrByte,

Thanks for the link to the download! That is exactly what I was looking for. My only question now is how to make the sidebox shopping cart a link so my customers can view it and checkout.

Thanks!

Amy

I suppose you could change the line in /includes/modules/sideboxes/cart_summary.php, line 26
from this$content = $totalsDisplay;to this:```
$content = '<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_SHOPPING_CART) . '">' . $totalsDisplay . '</a>';

Hi DrByte,

I posted in the code you gave me (overriding the $content = $totalsDisplay; on line 26), but it didn't work. Am I supposed to put in the new code exactly the way you gave it to me, or does it need to be altered somehow?

Thanks!

exact should have worked.

what's the URL ?

Hi Dr Byte,

I finally got it to work. I played around with the link you gave me, putting it in different parts of the script until it worked. The link is https://www.theoccasionalgift.com
It didn't make the title (SHOPPING CART) a link, but the contents are.

Thanks!

I downloaded the side box thing to only display the total and qty. I changed that line of code suggested but the qty and amount in the cart box still is not a link. How did you get it to work?
