Show products in cart on front page

Post by jimleeder123 » Thu Nov 13, 2014 1:48 pm

I've posted this in the general section but I've had better replies in this bit before so here goes.

I want to show product names in the cart on the front page in the top left hand section. How can I do this? Currently it just says how many products and the price.

An example of what I want is this website - http://www.citytakeawayne1.co.uk/

Place the VM Cart Module in the top left module position of your template.

If anyone could come up with an anwer would be great. Need product names coming up instead of just "1 product" followed by the price.

Hi Jim,
your site is still off line, no way to check it.

An example website that just shows "1 product" followed by the price is http://www.getstuffedne.co.uk/.
An example website that does what I want is http://www.pizzahot-sunderland.co.uk/.

My website (not either of these two, but built same way) has the cart like the first. I want it like the second.

Both these sites are using the VM Cart Module in the top left position. Check the VM cart module to see if it has settings for the number of items to display. Have you tried asking this or searching the VM Form? I haven't used VM so I can not speak from experience on this.

Theres no option for number of products and I've tried asking this in two parts of the Joomla 1.5 forum but its so unused that I'll never get a reply. It is in the top left position.

Well if it is not in the module settings maybe it is in the main options. As I said I have not used VM for years, perhaps someone with VM experience will post a reply here.

Its nowhere in the main config areas. Maybe its a JavaScript thing?
