Hi,

this was just what I was looking for in order to put in frontpage “Free Shipping from XX$” where XX is the free shipping amount followed by the corresponding currency.

I tried your code but I get an error: Undefined variable: subtotal in /home….header.phtml

Any idea? maybe I’m asking too much.

BTW: If you need any translation help I speak fluently spanish and german :)
