Show cart module only when it has something in

I think that a solution could be to add some Javascript in the view "product / cart".
Try to use the following Javascript if there is no products in the cart:

<script type="text/javascript">
var cart_module = document.getElementById('hikashop_cart_module');
var parent = cart_module.getParent();
parent.style.display='none';
</script>

The script does get rid of the empty cart but it also removes it when there's an item in it. So not quite there.

if there is no products in the cart:

<?php if(empty($this->rows)){ ?>
<script type="text/javascript">
var cart_module = document.getElementById('hikashop_cart_module');
var parent = cart_module.getParent();
parent.style.display='none';
</script>
<?php } ?>

Silly me. I understand now and it works great. Just one last thing, is it possible to show the module title only when there's an item in it?

This code should hide the module title too when empty cart.

You can try to add a suffix to the module in the Joomla option, set something like "-cart".
Then use the code:

<?php if(empty($this->rows)){ ?>
<script type="text/javascript">
var cart_module = document.getElementById('moduletable-cart');
cart_module.style.display='none';
</script>
<?php } ?>

Still no luck. I've attached the code for cart.php. Maybe I'm doing something wrong.

You don't use the good id.
Could you give me a backend access via mp ?

hello
i m trying to do the same thing and i have the same problem
could you help please ?

hello
i tried to use xaviers code but it does not hide the title of module

Could you give us a link to your website ?

Solved.

The way to do that is:
- In the Joomla cart module options, at the end of the "Module Class Suffix" option add :

" id="cart_module"

<?php if(empty($this->rows)){ ?>
<script type="text/javascript">
var cart_module = document.getElementById('cart_module');
cart_module.style.display='none';
</script>
<?php } ?>

hello
after this script
when i click on the categories (Κατηγορίες) on one of the subcategories the module disappears and only the title remains
helppp !!!!

Hi,

The problem don't come from the script.
It's due to the parameters of the module "Κατηγορίες", it display content depending on the category displayed.
If the category have no sub categories so it's empty.

hello
i m not sure i understood that. could u please tell me the steps to fix it ????
regards

hello

Hello Xavier,

I have tried your last solution with the Module Class Suffix and Product/Cart and it does hide the cart when empty. However the problem is that when you add an item to the cart, the cart doesn't show up. It only shows up once you've refreshed the page.

Can you help?

Thanks

Hi,

Do you have the latest version of HikaShop ?
Can you try to change the value for the option "Use AJAX when possible for add to cart buttons", option in Config > Main > Advanced settings.
