Count the items in mini cart

Hi,

That's not the case. As Philippe explained, if you have the setting "Group options with product" activated in the HikaShop configuration, the variants and options will be grouped with the main products and the counting will only be done on the main products.
So that should do what you want already.
Here is an example on a test website of mine:
monosnap.com/file/ZgUlNFTWyHCb1pdqQfvUTCXhK57tCo
As you can see, I have one main product with one option with a quantity of 2 in my cart and the mini module on the right side properly displays "2" and not "4" since I have the "group options with products" setting activated.

Hi,

Then you should use such code:

		<?php 	
			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;

			$cartClass = hikashop_get('class.cart');
			$fullCart = $cartClass->loadFullCart();
			$nbProducts = 0;
			foreach($fullCart->products as $product){
			    if($product->cart_product_option_parent_id) continue;
			    $nbProducts += $product->cart_product_quantity;
			}
			echo $nbProducts;
		?>

Hi,

The best would be to use a HikaShop mini cart configured to display only the count number.
Because otherwise, it's a lot more complex. You need to add javascript to that code to be triggered upon add to cart success, you need to then do an ajax request in your javascript to call a specific URL of your website and then customize something (create a plugin for example) to catch that URL and return the number so that you can then update the display. Basically, do the same thing than the cart module we already have.
If you're not a skilled developer it will be difficult to achieve and I can't provide an easy solution to that besides using the HikaShop cart module.

Hi,

In that case, I see two possible ways to do it without the need of knowing javascript:
1. Configure the slider effect in your template with two module positions: one for the quantity amount and one for the mini cart standard display. Then, have two HikaShop cart modules, one displayed as a mini cart and one just displaying the quantity (it's easy to do that in the file "cart" of the view "product") and assign each one to their respective positions.
That way, the cart modules will refresh themselves automatically.

2. Integrate the slider effect inside the file "cart" of the view "product" so that the module displays the whole slider and the quantity number and the mini cart display. When the cart module will then refresh, it will refresh the whole slider.


Regarding your question about the checkout:
First, please open new threads for unrelated questions.
The Joomla login module not refreshing in that case is indeed an issue we know about. But we can't do much about it since that module doesn't have any javascript refresh feature we could integrate with. The only solution would be to have our own login module, but then you would still have the same issue if you wanted to use another 3rd party login module.
I would just recommend to remove the login module on the checkout since the checkout already provides it.
I didn't understand your point with going to the top of the page? Why going to the top of the page would be necessary for you to know that you're logged in ? You'll usually automatically know that since you'll see the address view instead of the login view or you'll be moved to the next step of the checkout (it depends on how you configure your checkout).

Hi,

Then that's easy.

Change the line:
$nbProducts += $product->cart_product_quantity;
to:
$nbProducts += 1;

Hi,

Then change the line to :
$nbProducts += min(1, $product->cart_product_quantity);
