Get the cart quantity

Hi,

We need to implement a small button that links to the checkout area. The button is a simple cart with the current cart total items next to it. How can this be achieved in a module?

Thanks

Hi,
Regarding the button, a simple Custom HTML module with the link to your checkout process will do the job but can you give me more information about that part :

The button is a simple cart with the current cart total items next to it.

Yes, a custom html like module is what we thought, but we need to add the user current car total next to it. Example:
Your cart: 5
In which 5 is the current total items currently in the cart.
The question is where do we get the cart object or cart quantity value.

Thanks!

Hi,

To get the cart data, you can see how we get it in the file "components/com_hikashop/views/product/view.html.php" in the "cart()" function:

		$class = hikashop_get('class.cart');
		$cart_type = 'cart';
		$cart_id =$app->getUserState( HIKASHOP_COMPONENT.'.'.$cart_type.'_id', 0, 'int' );
		$class->get($cart_id,true,$cart_type);
		$full = $class->loadFullCart(true,true,true);
		$rows = $full->products;

Thanks Xavier for the very useful guidance. That's the object we need to get the data and not break any other functionality.
Thank you
M
