Cart is empty message on adding first product

Hi - I'm getting an issue with the popup when adding my first item to the cart. I've got it set so that when "add to cart" is pressed, the customer remains on the same page whilst the popup displays and the cart is updated via AJAX.

When the first item is added I get a message in the popup "Message The cart is empty", first, followed by "Product successfully added to the cart", then the continue shopping and checkout buttons.

I don't really want the message saying that the cart is empty to display, since I've just added an item to the cart - any thoughts?

Here's the screenshot



-- url of the page with the problem -- : audleymotors.smsidat.com
-- HikaShop version -- : 2.2
-- Joomla version -- : 3.1
-- PHP version -- : 5.3
-- Browser(s) name and version -- : Chrome Version 28.0.1500.95 m

Hi,

Do you have a link of a product ?
So we could try to reproduce you problem.

Thanks,

Hi - sorry forgot to add the url to that, it's audleymotors.smsidat.com/accessories - happens when you add to a cart that is empty to begin with.

Hi,

From what I can see this is not the case:


It only happens when the cart is emptied on the cart and then you add a product again.
That's because your template is not displaying messages on its main page:
www.hikashop.com/support/support/documen...tibility-issues.html
It's only displaying them in popup mode (in the component.php file).

The best is to configure your template to display messages on its main page but you can also remove the display of messages from the popup mode.

Ah I see - I did have messages disabled on the template, and just re-enabled, and now that sorted out the issue. However, I still don't want the message for the cart being empty being displayed at all - is there a way to de-activate it or over-ride it?

Hi,

This come certainly from the view "product / cart" thanks to edit that view in order to remove the message.
It should come from the code:

That's the message when the cart in empty in the cart module - what about the one that shows up in the joomla messaging system? How would I stop the message appearing there?

You would have to remove the two occurrences of the code in the file components/com_hikashop/controllers/checkout.php

Perfect that works!
