Mini cart module modification

hello,

i use the following template demo.gavick.com/joomla15/nov2010/index.php

there is a module position with name "cart" on this template but it can only be used with K2 and VM.

i use the latest version o essential version, when i use the module position for the hikashop mini cart it doesnt work properly.

here is the code in the template that i have to change

<?php if($this->countModules('cart')) : ?>
    <div id="gk-cart-btn">
        <h2><?php echo JText::_('GK_SHOP_CART'); ?></h2>
        <div id="gk-items">[ <strong>...</strong> ] <?php echo JText::_('GK_ITEMS'); ?></div>
        <a href="index.php?page=checkout.index&amp;option=com_virtuemart&amp;Itemid=178&amp;redirected=1&amp;Itemid=9999" class="button"><?php echo JText::_('GK_GO_TO_CHECKOUT'); ?></a>
    </div>
    <div id="gk-cart">
        <jdoc:include type="modules" name="cart" style="none" />
    </div>
    <?php endif; ?>

<?php if($this->countModules('cart')) : ?>
    <div id="gk-cart-btn">
        <h2><?php echo JText::_('GK_SHOP_CART'); ?></h2>
        <div id="gk-items">[ <strong>...</strong> ] <?php echo JText::sprintf('TOTAL_IN_CART_X'); ?></div>
        <a href="index.php?option=com_hikashop&ctrl=checkout&Itemid=180" class="button"><?php echo JText::_('GK_GO_TO_CHECKOUT'); ?></a>
    </div>
    <div id="gk-cart">
        <jdoc:include type="modules" name="cart" style="none" />
    </div>
    <?php endif; ?>

i try that but it doesnt works propably is a template issue.


in the code for numbers of items is " echo JText::_('GK_ITEMS'); " i try to replace it with " JText::sprintf('TOTAL_IN_CART_X')" , but no luck.

but unfortunetly is not working the easy solution, it has to work, its template issue obviously.

i will try to find out was going on .

thank you nicolas..

you can post the difficult solution if its easy for you

I don't want to hijack a discussion but my question is pertinent I believe to the current issue. I am creating a new template to use with hikashop. I have a bar at the top of the page where I would like to simply indicate the number of items the user has in their cart (among other information). I'd like to avoid using a module, and just insert a script into to index.php file of the template. Could you suggest how best to access this data if possible?

Thanks

Thanks Nicolas for the solution. Just made a small change to avoid error msg when $rows is empty

$class = dacshop::get('class.cart');
$rows = $class->get();
$qty = 0;
if(!empty($rows)){
foreach($rows as $k => $row){
$qty += $row->cart_product_quantity;
}
}

Hi,

I would like to have these three things:

# of items
Total ammount
Checkout Button

E.g.

Items: 1
Total: $15
Checkout

I am trying hard from minicart but i cant get it. Is this possible weather from minicart or from custom code on template index.php?

thanks

i did used the minicart, but when i add a product, it shows me full cart. when i navigate away from this product than i see only total ammount.

seems kind of bug!!!

www.gotech.al/test this is the url. i can give you administrator access if you want.
(in the left you have the shop categories in order to add products to the cart. top-right is the cart)

i found out something that may help. When i click add to cart, i see the pop up asking pay now or turn to the shop. when i say pay now, the page is going to different url and during this process the page is refreshed and minicart is displayed correctly. when i say turn to the shop page is not refreshed and i see big cart.
