Improved Descriptive Minicart Mod for v4.1.5

1. Total price now calculated correctly (including shipping cost)
2. Move mouse pointer over a product link in minicart √ and the product title will appear
3. Original loaded and empty cart images/icons preserved
4. Modified and tested to work in v4.1.5

Step 1. Add the following css style code to the bottom of file \skin1\skin1.css:

/* Custom Descriptive Minicart Mod START - mycode */ 
.MiniCartTextTiny {
	FONT-SIZE: 9px;
}
/* Custom Descriptive Minicart Mod END - mycode */

Step 2. Replace \skin1\customer\main\minicart.tpl with the following code (based on original x-cart v4.1.5 tpl file):

{* $Id: minicart.tpl,v 1.17 2006/03/28 08:21:07 max Exp $ *}
{if $minicart_total_items > 0} 

<table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
	<td rowspan="2" width="23"><a href="cart.php"><img src="{$ImagesDir}/cart_full.gif" width="19" height="16" alt="" /></a></td>
	<td class="VertMenuItems"><b>{$lng.lbl_cart_items}: </b></td>
	<td class="VertMenuItems">{$minicart_total_items}</td>
</tr>
</table>
<hr size="1" NOSHADE class="VertMenuHr">

	<td class="VertMenuItems">&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
</table>

{/if} 
<hr size="1" noshade class="VertMenuHr">

Please add a language variable $lng.lbl_remove = Remove from Admin backend.

Step 3. In file minicart.php, after:

$smarty->assign("minicart_total_items", $MINICART["total_items"]);

Add:

$smarty->assign("minicart_contents", $cart["products"]); //mycode
$smarty->assign("minicart_shipping", $cart["shipping_cost"]); //mycode
$smarty->assign("minicart_delivery", $cart["delivery"]); //mycode

Done!

Feel free to test drive at my website www.vonbell.com - add few items to cart and see how they will show up in mini cart.

Good luck!
