Mini cart module modification

That would indicate that you have several instances of the hikashop cart module.
Go in your joomla modules manager and look for the cart modules. Make sure that you have only one instance (delete the others) and make sure that the one left has the mini cart activated.

that's right! i had another regular cart module enabled. Thank you!

Hi, I am trying to display the minicart at the top of the page within the header div by including the following within the header div on the index.php file, but it's not working:

$class = hikashop::get('class.cart');
$rows = $class->get();
$qty = 0;
foreach($rows as $k => $row){
$qty += $row->cart_product_quantity;
}
echo $qty;

Do I have to include a php echo value before it? Please help?

Hi,

First of all, you have to enable the Joomla debug mode, and set the error reporting to "maximum" in order to see the returned errors. Then we already have a module "cart" and in it's options you can set that you want to use it as a mini cart.
So you have to add a module position in your template file to display that module.

Else the code seems to be correct, do you have a cart for the current session ? Some articles in it ?

Hi,
I'm running Hikashop v2.2.0 on Joomla 3.3.6. Site url is diywetroom.pigeontech.co.uk

I'm using a chunk of code taken from this thread to display the number of cart items in a div

I'm using sourcerer so I can put the code direct into a Joomla module. Everything word fine until I think the browser cache cleared and now the hikashop class fails to be called giving error:

Fatal error: Class 'hikashop' not found in /home/dwrftp/diywetroom.pigeontech.co.uk/tests/cart_items.php on line 3

line 3 on my code is: $class = hikashop::get('class.cart');

Any ideas? I wondered if it might be the order in which the class is called?

Hi,

If you're running that code on a place where HikaShop is not (yet) loaded, you'll get that error as that code requires HikaShop's main helper to be loaded.
You can load it manually by simply adding a line like this before:
<?php require('/path/to/the/root/of/your/website/administrator/components/com_hikashop/helpers/helper.php'); ?>

Of course, /path/to/the/root/of/your/website is to be changed by the path to the root folder of your website.

Thanks,

But now I get a different error when I access the store:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare hikashop_getDate() (previously declared in /home/dwrftp/diywetroom.pigeontech.co.uk/administrator/components/com_hikashop/helpers/helper.php:65) in /home/dwrftp/diywetroom.pigeontech.co.uk/administrator/components/com_hikashop/helpers/helper.php on line 83

Guessing I need to disable a line of code but not sure which.

Tried using require_once but get the following error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ''); ' (T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING) in /home/dwrftp/diywetroom.pigeontech.co.uk/tests/cart_items.php on line 5

Hold The Phone!

using require_once worked. Just needed to refresh cache.

Many Thanks for your help.

Hi,

Right ; "require_once" is quite better to avoid double inclusion of the file

Hi, i m a little noob... where i have to put this code in i want to show numer item in cart? Thank You.

Hi,

There is no need for any code change anymore.
Just turn off the display options you don't want in the settings of the cart module via the Joomla modules manager and you'll be able to get only the quantity.
