This update adds the words Cart Contents below the checkout button and removes the little checkout arrow by the title.
You also have the choice to make the checkout image text rather.
I have only included instructions for english, but it should be very easy to change the language.
I haven't written the code to make the Cart Contents link an image, but that isn't hard to do
if anyone feels like doing it.
This is an upgrade to V1.2, so you must install V1.2 first.
This is in english, but is easy to change to any language.

This is the complete contribution including the spanish-language file. All credits goes to Nils P.

Version 1.2 of Shopping Cart Box Enhancement:
The checkout button (if enabled) in the Shopping Cart Box now will not be displayed anywhere in the checkout area.

Use this version for both updating or first time installations. Has detailed instructions in English and German.

Good luck! ;-)

This update basically addresses the fact that many shopkeepers will only grant free shipping within their own country, with the appropriate setting in the admin area, but do not know how to change the original version of this contribution accordingly. So:

- If free shipping is granted (for orders over a defined sum) only within the shopkeeper's own country, the message in the shopping cart box will reflect that. (Example: "All orders over $ 100 receive FREE shipping within Australia")

- The same holds true for free shipping only *outside* of the shop's home country, which is a possible setting in osC2.2 MS2.

- This new feature will work in a versatile way, as it will use the home country that the shopkeeper defined in his admin area. This comes at a price though:
An extra database query is performed to find out the home country, which will slightly reduce the speed that your pages display. Though most pages within osC have dozens of database queries and another one won't make a huge difference, it is possible to avoid this one by hard coding the shop's country (only for this contribution - it doesn't affect any other part of the shop). Instructions for doing that enclosed.

Use this version for both updating or first time installation. Detailed instructions in English and German.

This is a contribution that has several improvements for the shopping cart info box. Will work with osC2.2 MS2.

This contribution can work with any language. This version comes with language definitions and instructions in English and German.
(*Auch für deutsche Shops geeignet*)

- A "Free Shipping For Orders Over..." message will be displayed in the shopping cart box (if free shipping is enabled).

- If a customer's cart isn't empty, the box will display how much more he has to spent to qualify for free shipping. If they reach the threshold, a different message will be displayed. The code has a built in switch to turn this feature on or off.

This part of the conribution is based on Bruce Hakala's Free Shipping Calcul for MS1. I updated it and beefed it up a little.

- If a customer's cart isn't empty, a checkout button will be displayed in the shopping cart box. The code has a built in switch to turn this feature on or off.

- Order total will use *bold* digits and letters (optional)

There are no files to add or overwrite for this contribution in this version 1.0. Just follow the instructions listed in the included text file. I hope you'll enjoy it!
