Mini Cart Issue

[GiftSpecialists]

The minicart in the header works great until a shopper gets to the checkout (shipping) page, then it shows 0 items and $0.00. Is my coding wrong?

Thanks for any help

The minicart uses a cookie to keep track of product in the cart. Like any cookie on the web it can only be read by the domain that wrote the cookie. Since you shopping cart is at http://www.beeronthewall.com and the checkout screen is at https://beeronthewall.securesites.net they are on different domains so the cookie can't be read.

There is really no need for the mini cart on the checkout or thank you screens since they can't add anything to the cart at those places. If you are sure you want it there then the only way to get it there is to get a secure certificate for your domain, have in installed on the server and use it for the secure screens.

I agree. I do not need the minicart on the shopping cart screens. However, I use a single header include for our entire site, and the minicart is in that header. Is there any conditional coding that I can put in my templates (or minicart code) that would check to see if this is a shopping cart page?

[-- IF ShoppingCartPage --]
dont show mincart
[-- ELSE --]
show minicart
[-- END_IF --]

Thanks for your help
