Show Shopping Cart Total in Template - joomla

Simple question but cannot find an answer in Google, I would like to show the Shopping Cart total in within the template of a Joomla website.
Do I have to query the database and calculate myself, or is there a function to perform this already?
Using Joomla 1.0.12 (yes I know, it's old)

You could install the virtuemart cart module and publish that anywhere on your site.
Check the Virtuemart_1.X.x_COMPLETE_PACKAGE_J_X.x_zip in the Modules folder

Changing Magento theme based on referral URL

I'm a brand-new Magento developer, coming from more general web-dev.
What I'm trying to do is create a "Kiosk Mode" of a website to be displayed within an app. Kiosk mode is a stripped-down version of my existing Magento site for BROWSING only; no customer login, no cart. Don't show "Add to Cart" stuff on product pages, etc. I want the site to draw from my existing product catalogue. My site currently has three store-views, representing three different physical locations with different inventory (business is mainly local pickup).
From what I'm reading it seems like a Theme is the way to go here, but I've got a couple of questions:
1) Can I drive theme from referral URL? I've looked at this page, but the answer seems shaky and I don't want to dive in to the codebase on spec if I can help it:
Change magento theme/storeview based on referring URL?
2) Does everything I'm describing above seem possible using Magento themes? Can I hide cart, change product page layout to remove "Add to Cart", etc?
Many thanks in advance!

Turning a Magento website into an online catalouge without Prices and a shopping basket

Hey im just looking for some advice, my project is to create a website on magento without the price option. This means no shopping basket either but just the option for users to view all the products without having the option to buy it online. Its important that i still keep the feature of selling online for the future but if it was possible to just disable it all.
Id love for some insight onto what people think the best option is for me to do.
You should do three things:
Remove all inclusions for the prices from your theme (just comment them out)
Remove the button in the addtocart.phtml files
Disable onepage checkout via the backend

joomla module to display in every pages

I am new to Joomla and Virtuemart. I am using Joomla 1.5 and Virtuemart 1.1.9 and developing a website for online book sales. For my site I have created my own template. On my site's frontpage I have displayed a "category" module and everything is working fine.
But my problem is I want to show this "category" module on every page of my website and I don't know how to do it. In the back end I tried the following steps:
Module Manger->Categories->Menu Assignment->Menu Items, but in the list of menu items I can't see the pages that are related to my template.
Can someone please help me?
You shouldn't need to see a list of pages related to your template, all you would need to do is select the All option under Menu Assignment for the module. This will make the module show on every page.

Using Magento just for checkout

I am wondering if it is possible to use Magento just for the checkout process.
I am making an e-commerce site that has only 1 product and I plan to just display it on my home page with a "buy now" button that would populate the cart and jump straight to checkout. I realize Magento is really overkill for this task, but I like the slick checkout and integration with Paypal Website Payments Pro allowing users to stay on my site throughout. However, that is all I want to use Magento for, not the cms functions or anything else, etc.
Can this be done (if so, how) or is there a better option?
Thanks for any help,
Brian
Sure you can! Modify the template to remove most of the page chrome and use the homepage as your single landing page. As you say, this is huge overkill, but certainly possible.
If you selling just 1 product why don't you use Paypal 'Add to Cart button'. Very simple and elegant solution for your need.
