Simple Cart Summary

[inalilbubble]

I am looking for a mod that can help me put a cart on the top of my page only with a summary of the contents, ex.

You have 4 items in your cart. Total $45.00

I saw something similar here:

osCommerce: Better Cart info in Header v.1

but I cant seem to figure out how to make it work in oscMax

Any help is greatly appreciated/

in your template directory find:

<!-- header //-->
<table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
  <tr class="header">
    <td valign="middle"><?php echo '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT) . '">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'oscmax.gif', 'osCMax v2.0 - Power E-Commerce') . '</a>'; ?></td>
    <td align="right" valign="bottom"><?php echo '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_ACCOUNT, '', 'SSL') . '">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'header_account.gif', HEADER_TITLE_MY_ACCOUNT) . '</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_SHOPPING_CART) . '">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'header_cart.gif', HEADER_TITLE_CART_CONTENTS) . '</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT_SHIPPING, '', 'SSL') . '">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'header_checkout.gif', HEADER_TITLE_CHECKOUT) . '</a>'; ?>&nbsp;&nbsp;</td>
  </tr>
</table> 

Change to:

<!-- header //-->
<table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
  <tr class="header">
<?php /* Added: MOD - Cart in Header */ ?>
    <td class="infoBoxContents"><b>Your Cart Contains</b><br><a href="<?php echo tep_href_link('shopping_cart.php')?>" class="infoBoxContents"> <?php echo $cart->count_contents()?> items<br>Sub Total: <?php $currencies->format($cart->show_total())?></td>
<?php /* Added: MOD - Cart in Header */ ?>
    <td align="right" valign="bottom"><?php echo '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_ACCOUNT, '', 'SSL') . '">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'header_account.gif', HEADER_TITLE_MY_ACCOUNT) . '</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_SHOPPING_CART) . '">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'header_cart.gif', HEADER_TITLE_CART_CONTENTS) . '</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT_SHIPPING, '', 'SSL') . '">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'header_checkout.gif', HEADER_TITLE_CHECKOUT) . '</a>'; ?>&nbsp;&nbsp;</td>
  </tr>
</table> 

Add to your stylesheet.css

TD.headerCart {
  font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;
  font-size: 12px;
  background-image: img src="/images/pixel_trans.gif";
  background-repeat: repeat;
  background-position: center;
}

Good Luck
