Hi I would like my cart to be hidden when its empty. Now I know that there is the on empty switch option in the main.xml, but i in fact need to set a specific class on my html body (cause not only the cart must dissapear, but the entire column and the main column’s right margin must be removed). My question is, how would i implement this? Help is really appreciated! (I guess i must extend the html helper class somehow?)

Ok, i figured this out, i think. I override the Mage_Page_Block_Html with my own class, which contains the method hasEmptyCart():

class Mage_MelrowPage_Block_Html extends Mage_Page_Block_Html {

        public function hasEmptyCart(){
             return $this->helper('checkout/cart')->getCount() == 0;
        }        
        
    }

Then i added in my page template, a condition in which this method is called:

<body <?if ($this->hasEmptyCart()):?>class="no-cart"<?endif?>>

If anyone thinks i should do this differently, please let me know! Is it perhaps nicer to move the hasEmptyCart function code to a helper?

You can use our free extension Hide Cart that enables users to hide the shopping cart block in case the cart is empty. You may also choose to hide the shopping cart block completely.
