Regards, Nathan")* You probably didn't initialize the HikaShop helper before your code: Code: if(!defined('DS')) define('DS', DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR); if(!include_once(rtrim(JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR,DS).DS.'components'.DS.'com_hikashop'.DS.'helpers'.DS.'helper.php')) return true; Without it loaded in memory, no HikaShop function can be used.

Regards, Nathan")* Thanks, that seems to work but because I'm using ajax add to cart the value doesn't update until you refresh the page. I guess the best way to fix this is to create a plugin that refreshes the php file when something is added to the cart.

Regards, Nathan")* Hi, You can override the JS of the AJAX add to cart to add the refresh of that number. You'll need to implement the hikashop_cart_js_render function in a hikashop_button.php file in the folder templates/MY_TEMPLATE/html basing yourself on the code in administrator/components/com_hikashop/helpers/cart.php Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtLzMxLWRldmVsb3BtZW50Lzg3MjU2OS1kaXNwbGF5LW51bWJlci1vZi1pdGVtcy1pbi1jYXJ0P3RtcGw9bWFya2Rvd24=) or [Create an account](/component/users/registration?Itemid=101) to join the conversation.
