Hide Basket while shopping

Hi,

Using the jomla menu/module system it's a bit tricky... You should create a menu linking to the checkout. Then, in the cart module joomla options, restrict the module display to the pages where you need it excluding the checkout page. and then modify the file cart of the view product to force the itemid in the action of the form so that it goes to the checkout itemid page. Not so easy...

Otherwise, you could edit the file cart of the view product in the HikaShop menu "Display->Views" and add a check like this :

if(JRequest::getVar('option','')=='com_hikashop' && JRequest::getVar('ctrl')=='checkout'){
  // display nothing on the checkout
}else{
  // display the normal cart page
}

The second version will definitely work. Could you post your modifications to the cart file so that we can look at how you did it ?

You can just put that code in there "as is". You need to put the content of the file in the "else" statement of the code I posted above. Otherwise, it doesn't do nothing.

Please download the file enclosed, copy its content and paste it in the cart file instead of the whole code and that will do it.

Hi,

That is an old post and the code of the cart must have changed a lot since one month and a half.
You should do differently now:
Set the option "force a menu on the checkout" to one of your menus, in the config under the tab display and then edit your cart module's joomla options to not be displayed on that particular menu. You won't get the title and you don't have to edit any code.

Concerning the possibility to remove the cart when it is empty, it's the first time someone ask us so we don't have yet a solution to do it easily. What you can do is edit the translation file in the config under the tab languages to remove the text displayed when the cart is empty. But the title will be displayed. We will look at such an option in the future.

You can create a menu attached to a main menu which isn't displayed by your template so that no menus are selected when this menu is forced on the checkout.

Now, if you want to have the shop menu selected and the module not displayed, you should do it differently.

You could create a new position in your template index.php which would not be displayed on the checkout and attach the cart module to that position of your template.
