Hi -

As far as the Shopping Cart Infobox problem you mentioned, we used the following solution.  The lines shown below replace the originals (at about Lines 62 to 70 or so) in /catalog/include/boxes/shopping_cart.php:

[color=blue]
  $info_box_contents = array();
  $info_box_contents[] = array('text' => $cart_contents_string);

  if ($cart->count_contents() > 0) {
    $info_box_contents[] = array('text' => tep_draw_separator());
    $info_box_contents[] = array('align' => 'left',
                                 'text' =>  'Items in Cart: ' . '&nbsp;' . $cart->count_contents() . '<p>' . 'Cart-Total: ' . '&nbsp;' . $currencies->format($cart->show_total()));
  }
[/color]
[color=black]This should produce a shopping cart infobox that looks something like this:
________________

  Items in Cart:  x 
 Cart-Total:  $xx.xx 
________________

Seems to increment and decrement properly when items are put in and taken out of the cart.  

My wife and I are newbies at this, too.  :-)  Hope this is of some use to you.  Good luck.
