   What page should we update in order to get this working correctly? I figured out how to do it by modifying core code but was thinking someone was able to do it by modifying a design file.

   Shouldn’t do “Mage::getSingleton(‘checkout/cart’)->truncate();”

   the same?

   Is there anyways to clear selected shipping method only. I want to clear everything that user selected (billing, shipping, shipping method info,…) when he click on “View Cart” link.

   You’ll get much better performance if you rewrite the Empty Cart code as follows:

   
$cart = Mage::getSingleton('checkout/cart');
foreach( Mage::getSingleton('checkout/session')->getQuote()->getItemsCollection() as $item ){
$cart->removeItem( $item->getId() );
}
$cart->save();

   Your piece of code is exactly what I need, thanks. Customers are coming back and buying items that are no longer in inventory, but I believe because they are already in the carts Magento does not go back and insure they are still available and next thing I know I have another order for an out of stock items.

   My question is the same as Kristy’s, where exactly do I put this piece of code?

   all the best,
