Hi Morten,

thanks for answering me. Played around yesterday for a while with 
various versions of commerce and finally if found the UPDATE! order :-)
Everything seems to work fine, except the dropdowns. They dont appear 
and the markers
###ARTICLE_SELECT_ATTRIBUTES#### ###SUBPART_ARTICLE_ATTRIBUTES###
arent rendered yet. Should there be an new subpart for this?

My template looks like this:

<!-- ###PRODUCT_BASKET_FOR_SINGLEVIEW### -->
<!-- ###ARTICLE_VIEW### -->
<div class="com-single-action-entry">
###ARTICLE_HIDDENFIELDS###
###LANG_ORDERNUMBER###: ###ARTICLE_ORDERNUMBER###
<span class="price_detail">###LANG_ONLY######ARTICLE_PRICE_GROSS###</span>
###ARTICLE_SELECT_ATTRIBUTES###<br />
###SUBPART_ARTICLE_ATTRIBUTES###<br />
<div class="delivery_state"><div 
class="description">###LANG_ORDERSTATUS###:</div><img 
src="fileadmin/icons/gruen.gif" border="0" alt="" /></div><br />
               <div class="article_amount">###LANG_AMOUNT###:</div>
                ###STARTFRM###
                ###GENERAL_HIDDENCATUID###
<input type="text" class="com-input-qty" value="1" 
name="###QTY_INPUT_NAME###" size="2"/>
                <input class="basket" type="submit" 
value="###LANG_SUBMIT###"/>
                </form>
</div>

I tried the template which came with the SVN Version, but same issue.

Thanks a lot in advantage and best regrards,

Chris
