Shopping_cart.php Problems

[Guest]

I am a web designer and I have designed my layout in photoshop and im now cutting it up and trying to put it together with dreamweaver. I saw this example on templatemonster and wanted to have a shopping cart that worked excactly like this one

 

See Example

 

 

Please could someone help me to modify my includes/boxes/shopping_cart.php so that it works like this as i have tried but only messed it up.

 

cheers

you don't put the shopping_cart box file there. You alter the header.php and you include just a link to the shopping cart main page along with some text that shows the number of items in the cart.

I thought as much but im not really up on my php i dont suppose you know the code i would use to get this link? also would the number of items function correctly with what the user is selecting in their cart?

this php code

 

$cart->count_contents();

 

returns the items in the cart. So possible link could be:

 

<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_SHOPPING_CART) . '">' . 'Your Cart contains ' . $cart->count_contents() . ' items</a>'

thanks for the help i really appreciate it. I tried the code you posted but should i wrap it in a tag???

well I don't know this would be specific to your design. Whether you use a <td> or a a <div> etc along with the css. The example uses php so you need the php tags, like:

 

<td><?php echo '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_SHOPPING_CART) . '">' . 'Your Cart contains ' . $cart->count_contents() . ' items</a>'; ?></td>

 

if you need to format the link itself differently you do as with regular html like inserting a class="my_class" in between the opening <a> tag.

Cheers for all the help it looks excellent now, I dont suppose you know how to get my categorie and information listings to look like this do you?

 

See this example
