Shopping cart issues!

[dressnthecity]

I've some how managed to lose my shopping cart block even though I have activated it in the Modules section (I'm using elements theme). Any one knows how I can get this to show again? or happen to have the HTML codes for me to re-implement?

Thanks in advance guys!

Maybe you removed it from the right column hook (in Modules->Positions), or maybe your new theme doesn't have a right column hook.

Either way, it's impossible to know anything for sure without a link to your site and more information (does it work with the default theme?)

Thanks for the speedy response

The link to my site is www.dressnthecity.com, I did change some things on the Footer.tpl file in the theme folder because I didn't like the position of it (I changed the words 'right' to 'left' but I quickly changed it back to 'right' when it altered more than just the footer) and I think this is impacted the 'shopping cart' and the 'wish list' both of which are activated in modules so they should appear on the homepage- but their not.

This is the coding in the footer tpl file as it is now:

{if !$content_only}


<!-- Right -->

{$HOOK_RIGHT}

<!-- Footer -->

{$HOOK_FOOTER}

{/if}
</body>
</html>

Thanks!

Just because they appear active on the modules tab, doesn't mean they are actually hooked anywhere.

Your theme doesn't have a right column, at least no visible, so you need to make sure both module are hooked on the left column (in the positions page).

Hi there,

I changed the Footer tpl to 'LEFT' as suggested, and I tried to HOOK the cart to the left however in MODULES-POSITIONS I'm not able to edit it. I think this may have something to do with the actual GLOBAL CSS of the ELEMENT THEME. I tried to adjust the wish list block as it was misaligned but now neither the wish list or the cart is showing. Am I better off just reinstalling the theme?

Got my cart back! By using the default code:
{if !$content_only}


<!-- Right -->

{$HOOK_RIGHT_COLUMN}

<!-- Footer -->

{$HOOK_FOOTER}

{/if}
</body>
</html>

I was able to restore the shopping cart, however it is misaligned with categories on the left. This is the code for the cart now:

/* Special style for block cart*/
#cart_block .block_content { padding: 0.2em; font-size:11px;}
#cart_block h4 span{
text-transform:none;

Sorry for the length of the email. Any ideas on how I can re-align that or better yet, turn the cart into a button people click on to when they want to review what's in their shopping basket?
