echo / print out cart quantity & total $ in cart

[luxor]

I would like to have a text output of the cart quanity and total $ amount currently in the cart on every page of site.

 

 

Is it in a cookie, or is it in a database table?

 

 

If it's in a database table, which table is it? how would you pull the proper data for the current user? using the session id?....

by the way, the site is outside osc folder, using sts template.

The info is in the $cart object - you can show them like this:

 

 

Quantity:

 

<?php echo $cart->count_contents(); ?>

 

Total:

 

<?php echo $currencies->format($cart->show_total()); ?>

thanks for reply.

 

when i place that code i get the following error:

 

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in public_html/nov/root/top_below_bar.php on line 13

 

which includes do i need?

Sorry - I dont need to use STS, so am not familiar with it. That code works fine in a standard osCommerce.

its ok thanks for trying :D

you need to call application_top-php into your file to use the osCommerce classes and functions (and session)

 

  require('includes/application_top.php');

yes this should do it, but my site files where i need to show cart info are outside the osc dir. so the include files that are found in the application_top php are not being loaded with adsolute directory path. I did try to make every include absolute. However, it's seem like an endless operation to make the include files inside these included files absolute as well.

Would it not be simpler to move your files?
