Display shopping cart content/amount on page?

[lunatic]

Hi,



is it possible to display the current number of items and/or the total $ amount in the shopping cart on my pages somehow?



I would like to display something like "Your cart contains X items for a total of $X" next to the view cart button like many ecommerce sites do.



I tried searching but did not find anything.



Thanks!

We do have an unsupported hack to do that, but it's not ideal and can only display the items/amount status on each page after the cart has already been viewed at least once on that page. See more info here:
