Thread: Skin Token - Cart Total Dollar Amount

Is there a token to display the cart total (no luck here searching the code)?

If not, has anyone wrote the code for this and willing to share?

Cheers!

Andy

Create a new XMLPackage and copy the contents of minicart.xml.config into it. Strip out anything you don't need and include your new package in your page/template.

e.g.

Code:

<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:value-of select="aspdnsf:CartSubTotal()" disable-output-escaping="yes" />
</xsl:template>

Thanks Matthew! I did just what you said and gutted the minicart xml package.

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes" ?>
<package version="2.1" displayname="Display Cart Subtotal" debug="false" includeentityhelper="false">

I also copied the CartSubTotal call in the xsltextensionbase.cs and renamed it something different incase I wanted to use the mini cart in the future.

Everything seems to work great at first then unexpectedly the xml package throws an error causing additional errors and my site craps out and I have to touch the web.config to restart it.

Below is the initial error:

Code:

XmlPackageException	Error has occured on xml package: showcartsubtotal.xml.config

Is anyone else experiencing issues/random errors in the system log when using the ajax minicart?

Thanks!

Andy - we're in production with no issues as you've described. We have a slightly different setup in case this helps.

We created a new package file (based on a copy of MiniCart.xml.config). e.g. CustomMiniCart.xml.config

We call that XMLPackage from our template as follows:

Code:

<asp:Literal ID="litMiniCart" Text="<%$ Tokens:XMLPackage, CustomMiniCart.xml.config %>" runat="server" />

So you can use your custom package to display the cart total without touching any minicart code.
