Small shopping cart enhancement

[ianric]

Hi

 

When a customer goes to the shopping cart I want it to say "the cart for logged_in_user_name or guest contains 0 items" or "the cart for logged_in_user_name or guest contains 3 items" instead of the "what's in my cart". I have got the "the cart contains 0 items" bit but can't get the user_name to appear.

 

Thanks

Hi

 

Also noticed that the continue shopping button goes back to the main index page. The code for the button is the std osc

 

<td class="main"><?php echo '<a href="' . tep_href_link($navigation->path[$back]['page'], tep_array_to_string($navigation->path[$back]['get'], array('action')), $navigation->path[$back]['mode']) . '">' . tep_image_button('button_continue_shopping.gif', IMAGE_BUTTON_CONTINUE_SHOPPING) . '</a>'; ?></td>

 

Thanks

Try:

 if (tep_session_is_registered('customer_first_name') && tep_session_is_registered('customer_id')) {
  $customer_name = sprintf(tep_output_string_protected($customer_first_name));
} else {
  $customer_name = sprintf(TEXT_GUEST));
}

somewhereat the top of the page, and just echo $customer_name where you want it. I'm guessing it'll work, although I'm not sure. Also, could you post the code you end up using? Sounds like it might be nice to add to my cart.

Hi Gillian

 

Thanks for the reply. It worked but I changed

 

$customer_name = sprintf(TEXT_GUEST)); to

 

$customer_name = sprintf(Guest);

 

I also wrote my first PHP IF statement so that if 1 product it said item and multi it said items. I'll post when I have finished tweaking.

Hi

 

Done and working. I have left the text in the HEADING_TITLE so you may want to format it. Can't find the code button so hope it comes out OK and remember to backup incase it doesn't work!!

 

Edit includes/languages/english/shopping_cart.php and add the following 2 IF statements just before the line

 

define('NAVBAR_TITLE', 'Cart Contents');

 

if (tep_session_is_registered('customer_first_name') && tep_session_is_registered('customer_id')) {

$customer_name = sprintf(tep_output_string_protected($customer_first_name) . ' ' . sprintf(tep_output_string_protected($customer_last_name)));

$products = $cart->get_products();

$products_count=sizeof($products);

} else {

$customer_name = sprintf(Guest);

$products = $cart->get_products();

$products_count=sizeof($products);

}

 

if ($products_count == 1) {

define('HEADING_TITLE', 'Shopping Cart for ' . $customer_name . ' contains ' . $products_count . ' item');

} else {

define('HEADING_TITLE', 'Shopping Cart for ' . $customer_name . ' contains ' . $products_count . ' items');

}

 

Change

 

define('TEXT_CART_EMPTY', 'Your Shopping Cart is empty!');

 

To

 

define('TEXT_CART_EMPTY', 'Shopping Cart for ' . $customer_name . ' contains ' . BOX_SHOPPING_CART_EMPTY); - WHY??, don't know, I'm not a programmer, it just seemed right at the time and it works for me...

 

Edit catalog/shopping_cart.php and comment out (HTML so use <!-- -->) the line around 207 on standard install

 

<tr>

<td align="center" class="main"><?php new infoBox(array(array('text' => TEXT_CART_EMPTY))); ?></td>

</tr>

 

This stops the standard cart is empty message.

 

Hope this helps other people.
