3.3.4. Basket Templates

Basket templates control the layout of the basket.

The templates can be found in the directory /components/com_virtuemart/themes/VM_THEME/templates/basket/.

The special about the basket is that there are four different templates: Two for displaying the Cart content including Tax (basket_b2c.html.php and ro_basket_b2c.html.php) and two for displaying the Cart content without tax (adding it afterwards) - basket_b2b.html.php and ro_basket_b2b.html.php.

b2c = Business to Customer (prices include tax)

b2b = Business to Business (prices don't include tax)

The basket_ files are included in /administrator/components/com_virtuemart/html/shop.cart.php, /html/basket.php and /administrator/components/com_virtuemart/html/ro_basket.php and in the file/administrator/components/com_virtuemart/html/checkout.index.php, except that the ro_basket_ file is displayed on the last step of the checkout (when the cart contents can't be modified any more - ro_basket = read only basket).

The variables which have been prefilled in /administrator/components/com_virtuemart/html/basket.php and /administrator/components/com_virtuemart/html/ro_basket.php are just printed out in the templates.
