 * Hello,
    So I installed eShop. 1. Created a page “Shop”. 2. Created some products.
   3. Added “Shop” as parent for products 4. Added “Shop” to menu.
 * Now when I click Shop I want to see all those products with:
    1. price, image(
   i set futured image), title 2. add to chart button(this only to update the chart,
   on the siderbar) 4. Only 4 products on that page with pagination on the bottom
 * I want to mach this format: [http://mlitexas.com/v2/products.png](http://mlitexas.com/v2/products.png)
 * I played with the shortcodes but I did not manage to obtain the requirements 
   above.
 * I build the site, I’m just new to eShop.
 * Is this correct? When I want different categories for different products, I create
   a page that will be the parent of some products and then that page on the menu
   under “Shop”, this way I’ll have different categories for products.
 * Thanks

 * From where is coming 1 at the end of $_SESSION[‘eshopcart’]?
    I want to display
   a count of items on top of the page, but I also want to keep the ability to add
   to widget chart so I can’t set “Add to cart, without going to cart page.” to “
   No”.

 * I just discovered that on this page:
    [http://quirm.net/wiki/eshop/additional-plugins-and-code-snippets/display-cart-item-count/](http://quirm.net/wiki/eshop/additional-plugins-and-code-snippets/display-cart-item-count/)
   the code is wrong. There is one more parenthesis and $cart_count should be $cart_item_count.
   The corrected code tested:
 *     ```
       // Return the total amount of items in the shopping cart
       function get_myeshop_cart_itemcount(){
   
       	global $blog_id;
   
       	$total_items_in_cart = 0;
       	if(isset($_SESSION['eshopcart'.$blog_id])) {
       		$item_array = $_SESSION['eshopcart'.$blog_id];
       		foreach($item_array as $item) {
       			$total_items_in_cart = $total_items_in_cart + $item['qty'];
       		}
       	}
       	return $total_items_in_cart;
       }
       // Display number of items in shopping cart
       function display_my_cart_items() {
       	$cart_item_count = get_myeshop_cart_itemcount();
       	if ( $cart_item_count > 1 ) printf('%d %s', $cart_item_count, __('items', 'theme'));
       	else echo __('Empty','theme');
       }
       ```

 * On the page product how do you add images? Normally as you would add them to 
   a page?
    The futured image is shown on product listing and if I want to see it
   in product page I have to inserted in text area. I this so?
