Need help with Mini Cart

[tdsrob]

I am trying to add a minicart to my custom template's right sidebar. I was hoping someone can give me some tips or point me in the right direction.

I want a mini-cart to display on my home page's right sidebar which is not a ShopSite generated page. I built this page in Dreamweaver and I'm using order anywhere for the few products listed on the page.

I also want a mini cart to show on my ShopSite generated stores pages using a custom template. I have been reading through the knowledge base and cannot seem to figure out how to accomplish these two tasks. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ok so I have figured out how to add the minicart to my store pages. I would like to clear a couple things up however....

From what I have been reading is it true that I cannot have a minicart on a shopping cart or customer reg. page?

Also is there a way to add the minicart to my non-shopsite genrated home page without all the javascript?

I tried adding the javascript in an external file

Code: Select all

<script language="javascript" src="http://www.mydomain.com/js/minicart.js"></script>

however it did not work....

The minicart reads a cookie set by the first shopping cart screen. Cookies can only be read by the domain that creates them.

Since the Customer Registration and the second and third shopping cart screens are secure they have a different domain name and can therefore not read the cookie. (http//domainname and https//domainname are 2 different domains.)

Yes you can add the javascript to a non-ShopSite created page. Just make sure that you use a version of the javascript that does not include ShopSite template tags that begin with [-- and end with --]. See this page in the help
