How do I get the number of items in a shopping cart?

If it is simply the total number, extended according to quantity, then you can use the [nitems] tag. If you need this number for use in an embedded Perl script, you can use

    $number = $Tag->nitems();

If it is the number of line items you need, then you can use a Perl script:

    [perl]
        return scalar @{$Carts->{main}};
    [/perl]

(The 'main' refers to the main shopping cart.)

If you have SeparateItems in effect, and need the number of unique items, you could use:

    [perl]
        my $cart = $Carts->{main};
        foreach my $item (@$cart) {
    @items = split /\|/, $items;
    $count = 0;
    for (@items) {
    $count++ unless $seen{$_}++;
    }
    $count;
    [/perl]
