How to: Cart inside Top Menu

[asdqwerty]

Hi

 

I'm new to prestashop and I'm wondering if there is any way of getting the cart inside the top menu.

Thanks

I ended up just adding this in my topmenu block:

 

<li><a href="{$base_dir}index.php?controller=order">Cart: {$cart_qties} items</a></li>

thank you for your solution  

im going to mark this topic as solved

 

when you move your mouse over cart, you see expanded version too?

Nope!

Nope!

 

and this is what you want? or you disabled this feature?

It didn't really matter, and what I did was way easier

 

EDIT: Didn't work, look below

I noticed now that the number doesn't update until I change something in the .tpl file. Whats up with that? 

 

Turns out it wasn't that easy 

 

I'm assuming it gets cached because I'm using a smarty variable, isn't there a php variable I can use? Or is there some other way I can prevent it getting cached?

hello

in module .php file you've got:

	public function hookTop($params)
	{
	return $this->display(__FILE__, 'blockpermanentlinks-header.tpl', $this->getCacheId('blockpermanentlinks-header'));
	}

remove , $this->getCacheId('blockpermanentlinks-header')

Hi,

 

I don't understand. In what php file do I do this? blockcart? Permanenlinks doesnt have anything to do with the cart does it?

I'm not actually using the cart block either though, I'm simply using a global smarty variable in my topmenublock to get the number of items in the cart so I can display it in the menu.

Okay now it's solved, I found out I could do this instead:

 

<li><a href="{$base_dir}index.php?controller=order">Cart: {nocache}{$cart_qties}{/nocache}items</a></li>

 

So it's the same as before, just the added {nocache} tag.
