X-Cart forums

I thought I'd ask the forum this as the X-cart guys seem to be a bit snowed under.

I got them to sort out some free gift code e.g. spend x amount and choose from a selection of gifts, which shows underneath the cart contents of the checkout page if the trigger amount has been reached.

Looking at it now, I would like to be able to have some text pop up in txt_cart_header once that trigger has been reached, saying something like "Congratulations, you've spent enough for a free gift, please select from the items at the bottom of this page". I was thinking something along the lines of getting it to trigger when it sees the free gift label (lbl_free_gift) which in itself is triggered when the amount is reached. How would I instigate this trigger within txt_cart_header -some sort of "if" statement?

Thanks

Actually, I think I'm on the right track here. I found the free gift template they created and it shows the free gift selection based on this:

{if $cart.giftproducts ne "" and $products ne "" }.....{/if}

I've just experimented with cart.tpl and inserted this after the txt_cart_header label:

{if $cart.giftproducts ne "" and $products ne "" }You have spent enough{/if}

This shows up correctly with the gift selection trigger and in probably the right place but I'm thinking that I should create a new label and reference that rather than hard coding static text into cart.tpl. Am I on the right lines?

Thanks

OK, I think I've got it now

I created a new label called lbl_free_gift_congrats and used it like so:

{if $cart.giftproducts ne "" and $products ne "" }{$lng.lbl_free_gift_congrats}{/if}

in cart.tpl. This seems to work for me, anyone see any problems with doing it this way or is there a more efficient way?

Thanks
