You or a developer you'd hire may be able to write some custom javascript to solve that problem. We only present this minicart code as-is, as an unofficial, unsupported hack that our Lead Developer whipped up as a fun side project many years ago but hasn't touched since.

I can force the mini cart to appear in the page using this code in the body tag :

<body onload="document.getElementById('mylink').click(); document.getElementById('EJEJC_overlay').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('EJEJC_window').style.display = 'none'; setTimeout(function(){document.getElementById('EJEJC_closeWindowButton').click();},1000);">

But i get the same as some other user reported.. Always 0.00 for the cart total.
The item total is displayed correctly.

Anyway this body tag hack should work and show the mini cart on page load.
You may just need to increase the set timeout a little. I am testing on a very fast connection.


edit: i should point out that the id in the code above "mylink" is an id i added to my view cart button.
So essentially on page load, the button is being clicked automatically by the script.
We then hide the overlay and cart window while we get the data we need.
Then after the timeout we close the cart window, with another automated click.]]> E-junkie Discussions; doobox Post #27 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/3086/pg/1#post22821 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/3086/pg/1#post22821 Tue, 16 Aug 2011 02:52:32 GMT E-junkie Discussions; E-junkieGuru Post #26 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/3086/pg/1#post22821 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/3086/pg/1#post22821 Fri, 12 Aug 2011 05:00:00 GMT E-junkie Discussions; bunkbedking Post #25 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/3086/pg/1#post22821 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/3086/pg/1#post22821 Tue, 9 Aug 2011 01:25:54 GMT
items=EJEJC_cartsize();

Thus, your version of the code should look like this:

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function EJEJC_lc(th) { return false;}
function EJEJC_config() {
EJEJC_POSTCALL=true;
EJEJC_OPACITY = 30;
EJEJC_HEIGHT = 500;
EJEJC_WIDTH = 750;
EJEJC_BRDRCOLOR = "#00f";
EJEJC_CDAYS = 61;
}
function EJEJC_shown() {
jQuery("#state1").attr("innerHTML", "Enter <b>SHIPPING ZIP CODE</b>");
items=EJEJC_cartsize();
if (items== null) {items = 0};
jQuery("#itemsInCart").attr("innerHTML",
items+" Items<BR/>$"+EJEJC_cartamt().toFixed(2)+" total");
}
// -->

see

- no mini cart - but code is as above

What am I doing wrong?

also, do you have a link to a web site where it is working so I can see it in action?]]> E-junkie Discussions; bunkbedking Post #23 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/3086/pg/1#post22821 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/3086/pg/1#post22821 Mon, 8 Aug 2011 20:46:08 GMT

Then just place this in your page wherever you want the minicart to appear:

I have this code

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function EJEJC_lc(th) { return false;}
function EJEJC_config() {
EJEJC_POSTCALL=true;
EJEJC_OPACITY = 30;

EJEJC_WIDTH = 750;
EJEJC_BRDRCOLOR = "#00f";
EJEJC_CDAYS = 61;
}
function EJEJC_shown() {
jQuery("#state1").attr("innerHTML", "Enter <b>SHIPPING ZIP CODE<\/b>");
}
// -->
</script>

not sure how to integrate the mini card code ?]]> E-junkie Discussions; bunkbedking Post #21 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/3086/pg/1#post22821 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/3086/pg/1#post22821 Tue, 26 Jul 2011 21:11:00 GMT
function EJEJC_config() {
EJEJC_POSTCALL=true;
}
function EJEJC_shown() {
items=EJEJC_cartsize();
if (items== null) {items = 0};
jQuery("#itemsInCart").attr("innerHTML",
items+" Items<BR/>$"+EJEJC_cartamt().toFixed(2)+" total");
}

Then just place this in your page wherever you want the minicart to appear:

<div id="itemsInCart"></div>

Now, if anyone's worked out how to get that minicart DIV to display on page load, rather than only appearing after the main cart has been viewed, feel free to share the approach you devised here.]]> E-junkie Discussions; E-junkieGuru Post #20 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/3086/pg/1#post22821 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/3086/pg/1#post22821 Wed, 4 May 2011 22:05:57 GMT http://www.e-junkie.com/ej/developer-directory.htm]]> E-junkie Discussions; E-junkieGuru Post #19 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/3086/pg/1#post22821 http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/3086/pg/1#post22821 Wed, 4 May 2011 20:50:31 GMT how to automatically initialize the mini cart on page load...

The amount currently does not reflect discounts but that'll be fixed shortly.

can you check with you DEV guy as those functions quoted are returning errors and only available after EJEJC_shown has been run - has he got example code?

thanks

function EJEJC_config() { EJEJC_POSTCALL=true; }
function EJEJC_shown() {
items=EJEJC_cartsize();
if (items== null) {items = 0};
document.getElementById('itemsInCart').innerHTML=items+" Items <BR/>£"+EJEJC_cartamt().toFixed(2)+" total";
}

This gets rid of null value and helps currency format, results of an emply cart :-

0 Items
£0.00 total

Still struggling to get html values on initial page load.

I am sure there must be a method for doing this.

Cheers

E-junkieGuruI did say it was an unofficial hack. :^)

I don't know of any way to display the itemsInCart div contents automatically before the cart is rendered, but I might guess there could be some way to do that with JavaScript?

I'll assign this to the attention of our Lead Developer, in case he has a solution to offer.
