Hi - a couple of queries,

Is there a way to prevent the dropdown minicart displaying (0) when empty? I would prefer it to only display a number once there is something actually added to the cart.

Also, it would be useful to be able to lose the brackets when there is an item in the cart and simply have the number.

Thanks,

Steve

Hi Steve,
That's not possible, the $totquant serves all the values, if you look in the vsadmin/inc/incminidropdowncart.php file the line for the quantity is below

(<span class="ectMCquant">'.$totquant.'</span>)')

so to remove the brackets you would change that to
<span class="ectMCquant">'.$totquant.'</span>');

adding .ectMCquant{display:none;} to your style sheet would then remove all values unfortunately.

Thanks Phil - that's what I thought.
I'll add it to the suggestions as this seems quite a popular way to display the basket nowadays.

If you are going to hack the brackets (native code) then you could just make a conditional statement there.

NOT ACTUAL CODE BUT Something like

if '.$totquant = 0 then (<span class="ectMCquant">whatever you want</span>)')
else <span class="ectMCquant">'.$totquant.'</span>');

Of course changes to this file would be overwritten by updates and need to be re-done.

I believe you could also use javascript to modify the output there, without hacking the code.

Hi David,

Yes I will have to come up with some statement for quantities of less than 1 and naturally I’ll have to drop this into the code after updates. Would be great if this could be integrated into the source code eventually.

Alas, I know nothing of js really so can’t go down that route

Many thanks for your suggestions,

Steve

Thanks also Phil for the code you updated in your post.
