Hi,

Which cart picture ?
The module does not display a cart picture but you can add one using some CSS.

Regards,

This one i am talking about


i saw this one on some of you showcase websites.

why i cant have it ?
if there is some css then kindly tell me the codes and where to put it. thanks

Hi,

I think that you'll probably find a solution through this thread :

You'll just have to :
- Go to "Hikashop->Display->Views"
- Edit the "Cart" file of the "Product" view of your front-end template
- Change this line :
$emptyText =JText::_('CART_EMPTY');
By :
$emptyText = '<img src="YourImgLink" alt="cart empty" height="42" width="42">'.JText::_('CART_EMPTY');
Note that you'll have to replace the YourImgLink text by the link to your image.

Thanks its Done.. One more thing...

how to change the styling of hikashop buttons ? i want to change the background and text color
or
how to make hikashop buttons looks like my theme button styling ?

The buttons should normally use your template's styling automatically unless you changes the "button style" option of the configuration from "normal" to "css". So I would recommend to check on that.
If your template doesn't provide any styling for the buttons, you can add your own CSS to the "button" class in order to style your buttons.
