Magento. How to disable cart on mobile devices

Hello! This video tutorial shows how to disable cart on mobile devices in Magento templates.

You may want to remove the cart from your mobile Magento store since it takes much space or you simply do not like it:

Let’s learn how to get rid of it.

1. Using Total Commander or any other file manager software use the search command to find the file which contains “header-minicart” class – in our case it is header.phtml file under /app/design/frontend/tm_themes/themeXXX/template/page/html/ directory (where XXX is your theme number).

2. Open the file for editing and look for the following string of code:

	<div class="header-minicart">
	<?php 
	echo $this->getChildHtml('minicart_head');
	?>
	</div>

Simply comment out the code so it looks as follows:

	<!--<div class="header-minicart">
	<?php
	echo $this->getChildHtml('minicart_head');
	?>
	</div>->

Save the file and refresh the page to see changes.
