Modifying the Corporation Customer Login panel at the top.

I would like to add a shopping cart to the Customer Login panel at the top. How do I do it?

Hi

The settings are in hidden panel in the theme tab of the template settings

To display the module you need to publish the cart to the panel module position

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I don't see though where I can have both the Cart and the Customer Login on the same panel. It combines them into one clickable unit.

Do you mean have two modules in one module or have a single module offering this functionality?

If you want a single module functionality you would need to find an extension for this

I'd check out the joomla extension directory to see

Yes I want two modules running in this hidden panel. One for login and the other for a shopping cart.

Is this possible?

You can load two modules into a single custom html module
using the loadposition syntax

{loadposition login}
{loadposition myCart}

Depending on how you wanted to layout it out you may need to use the shortcodes syntax to position the modules

in the custom html module options tab you would need "prepare content" to yes

Also I'm not 100% sure how the cart will work with being loaded like this

Thanks for the info so far but that will not accomplish what we are hoping to do. See the attached image. It is a mockup of what we would really like to do. However, the code injected into the hidden panel appears only to be rigged to pop open the panel object as the entire contents of the hidden panel is wrapped in an anchor that is hard coded to the panel. Is there some change to the template that I can make to make the hidden panel do what we want? Click on cart and go to the cart or click on login and go to the login. Is it possible to get to the code that controls the hidden panel? Joomla newbie here so apologies if there are obvious solutions.

Not sure with the hidden panel

You could try creating a menu link instead - I just googled and got

www.nonumber.nl/forum/modals/12019-popup-menu-item

www.ostraining.com/blog/joomla/modals-joomla/

I've not tried this myself but seems like it might work - have the module loading an article in a pop-up with the module inserted into the article via loadposition
