You first need to add the code: $config = hikashop_config(); $group = $config->get('group_options'); I don't know how you built your mini cart module so hard to say. By default with the mini cart module of HikaShop, when you click on the link of the mini cart, it directs you to the checkout. And if there is no products in the cart, the mini cart displays by default a message saying that the cart is empty, and there is no link.

Also, if you click on the "proceed to checkout" button of the cart module, or on its link when in mini cart mode, it will redirect you to the checkout. And if the checkout finds that the current cart is empty, it will redirect you to the URL that you set in "URL where you will be redirected when the cart is empty" setting of the HikaShop configuration and will also display a message saying that the cart is empty. So I don't see what you're talking about.

So if you don't see any message in your cart when empty it's etiher: - That you have a translation override of that text to remove it - That you've changed the option for the cart empty message in the HikaShop cart module - That you or your template provider have customized the layout of the cart to not display that message in the cart - That's you're using a third party cart module which doesn't display that message Updating HikaShop won't help.
