How to hide the mini cart in the header if the cart is empty

[stijnue149]

Hi Swiftideas,

I would like to know how I can hide the empty cart in the header. I don’t want to show the 0,00 but just remove it. CSS is not working, but i cannot find a way in the php files to change this, but i think it must be easy to do. Just change/remove the if cart is empty function in php.

Could you provide me this? It is not in the woocommerce templates but in the swiftframework as far as i can see.

Thank you a lot.

Best,
Stijn

Hi,

Find the code below inside the file neighborhood\includes\swift-framework\sf-content-display\sf-header.php

if ($show_cart_count) {
					$cart_output .= '<li class="parent shopping-bag-item"><a class="cart-contents" href="'.$woocommerce->cart->get_cart_url().'" title="'.__("View your shopping bag", "swiftframework").'"><i class="sf-cart"></i>'.$cart_total.' ('.$cart_count.')</a>';
				} 

and replace by

if ($show_cart_count) {
   if ( $cart_count > 0){
	$cart_output .= '<li class="parent shopping-bag-item"><a class="cart-contents" href="'.$woocommerce->cart->get_cart_url().'" title="'.__("View your shopping bag", "swiftframework").'"><i class="sf-cart"></i>'.$cart_total.' ('.$cart_count.')</a>';
   }else{
	$cart_output .= '<li class="parent shopping-bag-item"><a class="cart-contents" href="'.$woocommerce->cart->get_cart_url().'" title="'.__("View your shopping bag", "swiftframework").'"><i class="sf-cart"></i></a>';
   
   }
} 

Let us know if it worked.

Hi Rui,

Thank you for the code, unfortunately it is not working I still see the empty basket with the price 0,00.

I am not sure (no programm skills here), but why is there still a cart output defined, if cart_count is 0?

Thank you for your help, hope you can come up with a solution!!

Best,
Stijn

There is an option to disable the cart count in the Header Options .
The option is “Cart aux item count”

Well the cart output it’s to maintain the logic, if we show it when it has products we also show that is zero when it’s empty. It always depends on the interpretation.

OK, I have seen that option, but in my opinion there is no value for a customer to know that the basket is empty (it is attracting wrong attention). Therefore i want to remove it only when it is empty.

do you have another solution in php? as hiding with css is not possible.

Thank you a lot.

Just to add:

I have found out that the cart in the header is not showing if you are on the cart page. So there is somewhere a line of code that exclude the minicart on the cart page. Isn’t it possible to extend this exclusion easily?

Thanks

can you provide me ftp code to check the code change that I recommended earlier?

if ($show_cart_count) {
   if ( $cart_count < 0){
    $cart_output .= '<li class="parent shopping-bag-item"><a class="cart-contents" href="'.$woocommerce->cart->get_cart_url().'" title="'.__("View your shopping bag", "swiftframework").'"><i class="sf-cart"></i>'.$cart_total.' ('.$cart_count.')</a>';
   }
}  else {
					$cart_output .= '<li class="parent shopping-bag-item"><a class="cart-contents" href="'.$woocommerce->cart->get_cart_url().'" title="'.__("View your shopping bag", "swiftframework").'"><i class="sf-cart"></i>'.$cart_total.'</a>';

				}
