Basket grid display issue with product template fields

The basket display is pretty bad when you order an item that has several fields set up in a product template.

Can anything be done to clean up the display?

Set up a product template with 8 options, then buy that product and see how it looks in the basket. I'm using 3 text fields, 4 dropdowns and a radio.

For 2-3 options, it'd probably be ok.

Maybe just link a popup window or hover window to each line item in the basket that displays the product template choices.

Every order in my store is gonna look pretty ugly in the basket as it is now because I have so many options set up in a product template.

I figured out how to modify AC7 to prevent the display of the product template fields on the basket page.

If anyone needs to know how, just lemme know and I'll post it.

What's scary is I'm starting to understand C-Sharp code. Good sign I need a break

I'm just starting to use C# and am thinking, look at all the space taken up by { and }. I'm starting to go thru the C# Nuts and Bolts webcasts at MSDN and they are good.

HA!

Have you seen the site that converts VB.Net to C# and C# to VB.Net? It's quite slick - just copy any amount of C# code into it and it'll translate it perfectly into VB.Net.

I've used it several times, works well.

Have a good turkey day!

I'm with you on the options display -- it looks like you can modify it, but you have to go deeper into C# than I am comfortable.

Thankfully we only have a couple options per product. If there were 8 or so, it would be really hard to read, I think.

I got so lucky with the way the my page layout turned out using the google map. It nicely positioned all the template fields to the right - I didn't do anything to get it that way.

Not sure what I would have done if it didn't work out that way. Guess it's my lucky week
