NOTE: This method for our classic cart is no longer supported with our new standard cart. Please jump down to this reply in this thread for our new minicart method.
There is an unofficial hack you can use to show cart item quantity and total in your page.
On every page where you want this displayed, add this to your View Cart code, just before the "// -->" line:
function EJEJC_config() {
EJEJC_POSTCALL=true;
}
function EJEJC_shown() {
document.getElementById('itemsInCart').innerHTML=EJEJC_cartsize()+" Items : Total $"+EJEJC_cartamt();
}
If you already have EJEJC_config or EJEJC_shown, just add the extra line shown above before the final "}" -- apparently that line got linewrap-broken here, but it should be one long, unbroken line from "document." to "cartamt();". You can of course customize the part that says " Items : Total $" with whatever text or HTML you wish (but avoid using any "double quote" characters -- you can use 'single quotes' instead).
Then in your page body wherever you want the cart items/total displayed, just insert this:
<div id='itemsInCart'></div>
