Question about shopping bar 1 sidebar

While doing some tweaks with the site layout, I noticed something that confuses me.
Currently my Shopping Bar 1 sidebar displays a mini basket, a top sellers section and a recently viewed section.
Shopping Bar 1 contacts ConLib references to minibasket and recentlyviewed. There is no reference to a ConLib for top sellers.
Where's top sellers coming from??

Hello Joe,
It's the default for the mini-basket when it's empty, if nothing else is specified.
MiniBasket
Summary:Display the contents of items in basket. Can be used in side bars.
Usage: [[ConLib:MiniBasket AlternateControl="PopularProductsDialog.ascx"]]
Properties:
AlternateControl
A control that will be displayed when basket is empty.

I understand now, thank you.
So TopSellers isn't a separate ConLib control?
Maybe that could be split that out somewhere down the road so the development side is consistent. Definitely back-burner stuff.

It is.
PopularProductsDialog.ascx can be used separately as well.

Is there a way to make nothing appear if there is nothing in the basket?
Maybe: [[ConLib:MiniBasket AlternateControl=""]] ???

Good one Erwin (and Joe for raising it), don't know if that [[ConLib:MiniBasket AlternateControl=""]] worked then, but it does nicely now - for anyone else like me desperate to get rid of the huge line of products in the sidebar!

One more useful thing, scanning the apsx show that eg. [[ConLib:RecentlyViewed MaxItems="3"]] can be used to control the list further

On recently view items, I retained only the link in my control so that I can still have a longer list but it doesn't take up much room.

Good idea, cheers Judy! A bit more customisation but I guess just removing the image will do fine, will prob give that a go! Phil.
