We quite often have customer requesting to have extra detail added to the basket plugin (i.e. Unit of measure, weight etc.) and rather having to write a report/XSLT to replace the basket plugin (and all of the other things it does) it would be really cool if we can have a report based plugin so we can override the output and choose to display whatever fields as necessary for the output?
That sounds like a good suggestion, and we will consider this when making updates to the basket plug-in.
