Hey All:

The only reason I’m posting this question here is because I’m getting absolutely no help over at the VirtueMart Forum . . .

How can I remove the “Show Cart” text/link from the “Your Cart” module that displays on the Home Page?
For reference, my work-in-progress site is HERE

Here is the code from mod_virtuemart_cart.php file . . .

?><table width=”100%”>
<tr>
<td>
<a class=”mainlevel” href=”<?php echo $sess->url($mm_action_url.”index.php?page=shop.cart”)?>”>
<?php echo $VM_LANG->_PHPSHOP_CART_SHOW ?></a>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><?php include (PAGEPATH.’shop.basket_short.php’) ?></td>
</tr>
</table>

Now, when I inspect the code for that particular module in FireFox, I see this . . .

<div class=”moduletable”>
<h3> Your Shopping Cart </h3>
<table width=”100%”>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>
<a class=”mainlevel” href=”http://www.musicians-marketplace.com/index.php?page=shop.cart&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=26″> Show Cart</a>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</div>

I have been looking for days and I cannot find the line of code to modify the module so I can remove the “Show Cart” text/link.

PLEASE HELP !!!

:((

TOM

P.S. (What I would REALLY like to do is put the shopping cart info at the top, just under the top navigation text links. There is already a “View Cart” link, so a simple one like “Your Cart Is Empty” and “You Have “x” Items” right underneath would be nice).

Hi Tom,
I am using the Joomlart mod of the cart so I can’t confirm this, but it should do the trick.
Try this
On line 57 in administrator > components > com_virtuemart > languages > english.php
change

var $_PHPSHOP_CART_SHOW = 'Show Cart';
to

var $_PHPSHOP_CART_SHOW = '';
or whatever you want it to say.
Good luck. 🙂

I actually don’t want it to say anything … I want the “Show Cart” text to be gone altogether.
So, if I remove that line altogether, do you think it will mess things up?

EDIT:
I just looked and I actually don’t have a “language” file in my com_virtuemart files.
It’s got to be somewhere else …. hmmmm.

EDIT #2
Okay, I just figured it out . . . I had to remove <?php echo $VM_LANG->_PHPSHOP_CART_SHOW ?> from the code I posted above.

I had been hesitant to do this because it seemed as though it was only one of a few lines of code, and I didn’t want to totally screw up some function. Well, turns out that the only function that one line of code deals with is the one I wanted to get rid of anyway.

Actually, Bill’s suggestion above was part of the clue … since the code is somewhat similar to the one he suggested.
So, again, it all works out in the end.

😀

Hi Tom,

If you just removed the text Show Cart as shown above in the example I gave you in the english.php and left the rest of the code it should have acomplished what you wanted to do without hacking the code.

Here is a tip for you. Most of the text you see in the components output is set in the english.php file. It is safe to remove any text between the ‘ ‘ marks. The same goes for most components.

<blockquote>

Please read this path carefully to find your english.php

<blockquote>
administrator > components > com_virtuemart > languages > english.php
</blockquote>

Anyway, I’m glad you found a solution. 🙂

I was able to confirm my solution and it does indeed work. It’s always better to make edits without having to hack the code.;)

That’s just it … I don’t have either a “language” folder or (subsequently) an “english.php” file.
I looked several times – just to make sure I’m not crazy.

Isn’t it supposed to be a normal virtuemart component? I know I didn’t delete it.

Can I download the folder separately and install it into my VirtueMart component?

:((

Tom,
If you had the words Show Cart showing in the module, you have an english.php. I don’t think you are following my path to the file correctly. The english.php is not in the components > com_virtuemart folder. It is in the administrator > components > com_virtuemart > languages folder.
Take another look friend.;)

Well, I am using a Ja_Zeolite’s quickstart package to setup the site and I was looking for this variable where I could change the “Show Cart” text.

There is no “english.php” in Administrator > Components > com_virtuemart > languages

How ever there were several folders which had an english.php inside them.
I just used dreamweaver and searched for “Your Cart” in the source code of files inside this languages folder and here it is:

site/administrator/components/languages/common/english.php
line 47:[PHP] ‘PHPSHOP_CART_SHOW’ => ‘Show Cart’,[/PHP]

Have fun.

The solutions mentioned are not working. This is how you can change it. Go to:

/components/com_virtuemart/themes/name-of-theme/templates/common

Where it says “name-of-theme” you should choose the name of the theme you are using.

Then edit the file minicart.tpl.php. There you can change it (rule 10 till 15).
