Does anybody know how you can stop the mini basket from growing each time a new product is added. e.g if I place an order for 30 items it gets that long it knocks my categories block of the first page.
 
I thought I may have been able to limit the depth to the first 6 or 8 lines via cms settings but no luck there.
 
Anybody any ideas please?
 
Thanks

lol - buggy

I would much prefer Viart made the code to install a message in the header.html which says "x items in cart $x toal" with a little cart image and if you click the link it takes you to the cart.

 
You already have such posibility and you just need add code like below somewhere in your header.html file:
 
<!-- begin empty_small_cart -->
<b>{EMPTY_CART_MSG}</b>
<!-- end empty_small_cart -->
 
<!-- begin small_cart -->
{total_quantity} items in cart {total_price} total
<!-- end small_cart -->

Thanks Yoda it does work.
Can we do login as well? I tried by adding the form from block_login.html but it showed both properties at once. ie, login and logout.

 
It should works in the same way if you are using one of the latest version of ViArt Shop and correcly placed this block in the header.html
If you like you can send your site login details to our support team so they can check this issue.

Thanks, I don't think i can make it small enough anyway to warrant it.
