I have… heres what i did
Topic summary
Main goal: replicate a cart icon that displays the item count (like brokenplanet.com) on a Shopify store.
Key actions:
- Helper requested theme code and advised editing header.liquid to show “Cart {{ cart.item_count }}” and also updating cart-icon-bubble.liquid (the badge template).
- Initial changes didn’t appear; it only showed after a cart-add, navigate to cart, then remove item. Helper identified the correct place in header.liquid via screenshots; after editing there, the display worked.
Current issue:
- The cart count does not update live when adding items; it only refreshes after clicking the cart.
- Cause: the “add to cart” click event is managed by a third-party app, so the theme’s count isn’t being updated by the app’s JavaScript.
Outcome and next steps:
- Cart label now displays with item count after correct edits in header.liquid and cart-icon-bubble.liquid.
- For real-time updates, contact the app’s support or integrate the app’s add-to-cart events to trigger the badge update.
Notes:
- Screenshots were central to pinpoint the exact code location.
- Discussion partially resolved; live update behavior remains open pending app-side changes.
