get and show cart total

[BeNdErR]

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to display in the index page, in a custom div, the cart total reached by the user browsing the shop. I had a look through com_virtuemart/... files, but I didn't find/understood WHERE and HOW the total is calculated, as for example in the virtuemart cart page (where you can find your cart summary).

For earlier version of VM, I found was enough to use someting like

Code Select Expand

echo $GLOBAL['cart_total'] (or similar, I don't remember the exact code), but for the version I'm currently using it's not working..

I'm using joomla 2.5.8 and virtuemart 2.0.18a

I'd like to build a function that retrieves only the total: inside components\com_virtuemart\helpers.cart.php I found the class VirtuMartCart that holds the getCart function, but I don't see any reference to the total price.. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place?

Thanks in advance for any help, best regards

That doesn't help in any way....

Get the query for the total cart amount will be very helpful.

Any helps will be appreciated.
