Magento- How to customize the shopping cart

Question

I'm having troubles with displaying product information in shopping cart page.

• please point out the template where i can display this information
• please point out me the way how to find templates that are displayed

Solution

You can show the data in cart line renderer template:

app/design/frontend/base/default/template/checkout/cart/render/simple.phtml

and ask the data from $_item object in foreach loop and modify the html to your choosing

You can find what templates are used in any magento page by turning on template hints from system > configuration > developer section.

Note that if you change a template you should copy the template to your own theme folder first.
