![]() Hi, I'm trying to edit the language variable
lbl_cart_X_items_total which I believe displays "item(s)" in the minicart, so that it displays "item" for one item, and "items" for more than one item. Currently the language variable is: <span class="minicart-items-value">{{x}}</span> <span class="minicart-items-label">item(s)</span> <span class="minicart-items-delim">/</span> <span class="minicart-items-total help-link" onmouseover="javascript: viewTooltip(this, txt_minicart_total_note);">{{total}}</span> and I have used something similar to achieve this effect in another site, on the subcategory page, like this: <td class="P_Count">{if $config.Appearance.count_products eq "Y"}{if $subcat.product_count}{ $subcat.product_count } {$lng.lbl_product}{if $subcat.product_count > 1}s{/if} so I wondered if anybody knew what smarty parameter (sorry if that's the wrong word) I would use instead of &subcat.product_count (which I know is nothing to do with what I want!) I would then just use something like item{if $subcat.product_count > 1}s{/if} instead of item(s) in the language variable shown above. (Obviously with the correct Smarty parameter!) If you could also explain how I find out what Smarty parameter is being used, that would be a great help, so that I can try to find it out for myself next time.

![]() I tried
item{if $minicart_total_items > 1}s{/if} but that doesn't work - I suspect that Smarty tags don't work within a language variable. I've also never seen a language variable used like this before, i.e. for code, rather than just text.

![]() Login to your admin panel, go to General settings and near the bottom enable "Debug console". When you go back to your site, you'll get a pop-up which shows all available variables on that specific page.
Keep in mind that to get info from an associative array you will need something such as this: arrayName1.arrayName2.arrayName3 |

![]() Thanks for your advice, Tal, I think it's definitely
$minicart_total_items but I don't think I can put the Smarty tags into the language variable, as explained above, so I will somehow have to put the code in the language variable, into minicart_total.tpl, which uses this code: Code:

![]() Please post the code here when you get it figured out. I too want that as well.

![]() I'm afraid that I am stuck on this one, Vacman, let's hope that somebody else knows the answer! It should be the default on X-Cart anyway, it's very unprofessional looking to have "item(s)".

![]() why not just have 2 language variables, 1 for item and 1 for items, then use the if statement to decide which one to display?

![]() But I don't know how to set up the 'if' statement Amy, that's where I'm having trouble. You don't need to use two language variables, it's easier and clearer to use my method.

![]() I've found the solution, which is quite simple (but you lose the minicart tooltip, which I don't think anybody will use anyway):
Edit customer/minicart_total.tlp and on line 11 (I think, this may be a few lines out as I've moved things about a bit while working on this), delete the following line: Code:
and insert the following instead: Code:
That works fine, as long as you don't need the Minicart mouseover tooltip, because the label 'lbl_cart_X_items_total' is as follows: Code:
My solution uses the much simpler label 'lbl_item' which is, of course, "item".

![]() Just to add to your solution, I did the following to also display the words "is" or "are" depending on whether there is 1 or more items in the cart. Doesn't affect the tool tip either.
Code:
