Add to product cart, go to checkout, delete product from cart.
Returns to main page with empty cart message

Is it possible to have an option which disables the empty cart message please - our main shop page shows the cart module which says empty, so don't need the message twice.

See screenshot.

There is an option in the cart module to change the cart empty message so you should be able to remove that one. You could also enter the message in that option and then change the translation of the other one CART_EMPTY to remove it. That way, you would have the message in the cart module and not on the page.

The empty cart message override in the module did not appear to work.

In the language override I set:

CART_EMPTY=""
  MY_CART_EMPTY="The cart is empty"

Then had to modify the product cart.php template.
$desc = $this->params->get('comp_description');
if(empty($desc)){
  $this->params->set('comp_description',JText::_('MY_CART_EMPTY'));
}

Mmm. I had a look at the code. It should be msg instead of comp_description. Could you try with that (3 places in that file)?

That fixed it, thanks.
I have got rid of MY_CART_EMPTY.

Hi

Have had a read through of posts on this. I'd like to do a similar thing - completely remove the message that appears on the page: "the cart is empty". I have options set to show mini cart all the time so no need for message really. Could you advise - didn't really understand the instructions above.

Thanks for your help

Hi,

To remove the message, you can just override its translation, as any text in HikaShop:

Joomla 3.1, hikashop 2.2

Info that may prove useful to others - another way of editing this message is via the products / cart.php override, especially if you want to add additional html markup or customisation rather than just removing the message.

if($cart_type == 'wishlist'){
   ...
}
else {
$empty= <edit this to customise>
}
