    Basket Not Empty Conditional



    I am trying to create a mini mini basket - just an indicator that the shopper has something in their basket. There is no room in the design to use a product like Weiland's mini basket. This is the display:

    -------------------------
    Your current shopping basket total: &mvt:basket:formatted_total;
    ------------------------

    but I only want it to display in the space provided, when something is in the basket otherwise I just want a blank space.

    I need to use something like:

    ---------------------------------------
    <mvt:if expr="NOT l.settings:basket:empty">
    Your current shopping basket total:&mvt:basket:formatted_total;
    <mvt:else> 
    </mvt:if>
    --------------------------------------

    but the "NOT" part doesn't work. Any suggestions?

    Also, is there a variable which shows the total number of items in a basket? I couldn't find one.

    Thanks



    Pete

    Then reverse the question.
    ---------------------------------------
    <mvt:if expr=3D"l.settings:basket:empty">
     
    <mvt:else>
    Your current shopping basket total:&mvt:basket:formatted_total;

      I tried that first - and it didn't work. However, I just tried it again and found out why - I had forgotten to check the basket item on the storefront page so every time I went to that page I saw the text "Your current shopping basket total:" and assumed it didn't work. Asleep at the switch, I guess.

      Thanks for your assistance.

      Also, can I assume there is no variable which shows the total number of items in a basket?

        Happy to help. Sounds like you can use the NOT form now tho' :)

        I leave that one to others. My only access (so far) is via the admin demo =
        ;)
