Get N of product in cart

[maegras]

Hi everyone,

I'd like to have into the homepage, a box (not the cart module) displaying the current number of products in cart.

Eg:
1x product_a
3x product_b
---------------
Products on cart = 4

How can I do that?

Sounds to me like you might need to develop a module for this. Couldn't you override the template for the cart module to get the output you want?

[maegras]

thank for you great idea
I've modified the default mod_virtuemart_cart such to obtain output I wish

[Stephen Roberts]

Cool. You do understand how to do template overrides work right? You shouldn't modify the module itself, but override the template instead.

I couldn't override because I need also the original cart module. So I created a new module called `product-number` starting from the original cart module. I've modified this module such to obtain output I need.
