    Unhappy MiniCart displayed "outside" of cart?

    I am wondering... how do I get the minicart to show up on pages that aren't output by the cart's XSLT? (I have customized the front end of the store to not use XSLT).

    Thanks in advance.

    Are you on version 8 or 9? In ML8, the minicart is generated totally by XSLT, you'd basically be rewriting it. In ML9, that is an AJAX component generated by a control, which you can just put in your template.

    I'm not sure how to tell the version. It was the $995 version, whichever that is.

    I have customized the front end of the cart to not use templates as I don't enjoy working with XSLT. So I am using .Net pages that I have developed on my own that use the aspdnsf database to display categories, products, etc. The only problem is that I cannot get the minicart to work on the custom pages I made. Is it storing the data in a cookie, session or something else? I'd like to be able to add this without reverting back to the archaic XSLT setup.

    Thanks in advance.
