Hello
Currently if a customer does not have anything in their cart the page displays the txt_your_shopping_cart_is_empty language label and the Redeem a discount coupon dialog template. How would I go about changing this to not show the Redeem a discount coupon option if the cart is empty?

Thanks

Another way of putting this,
what would the
{if cart has products in it}do this{/if} else do this

code be?

Try commenting out this line in cart.tpl:

{* {if $cart.coupon_discount eq 0 and $products ne ""} *}

Hello Jeremy
That will work but I will lose the option for a customer to add a coupon on the cart page if there are items in the cart.
Being they can add the coupon code on the one page checkout this may be ok.
I would think there would be a {if} statement for this though.

In my opinion, the ONLY place to add a coupon is right with payment (read: checkout_one) -- however, if a coupon is used to add a free item to the cart, this is a potential gotcha -- since the customer won't see the free item added to the cart -- but I still like this better than the alternative of more than one place for a coupon code.

I used this to hide the minicart on home.tpl if the cart was empty -- maybe this will work?

{if $minicart_total_items ne ""}

Thanks Jeremy
I think I will just set it up so they can only add a coupon on the OPC.
The way I got going on this is it was one of the comments made in the review I got from usertesting.com. I was very fortunate, I got a real computer novice as my reviewer.

Use:

{if $products ne ""}
There are items in the cart.
{/if}
