[mv] Including other products variables on report

["Mediaservices" <support@mediaservices.net>]

******    message to minivend-users from "Mediaservices" <support@mediaservices.net>     ******

I am trying to include *other* fields in the item detail on the email
receipt that the customer gets. In the etc/report file I see
[item-description] that currently includes the items Title (we are selling
CDs), I need to include the Artist's name, Record Label and UPC (not sku).
Seems that the [item-fieldname] (eg; [item-artist], [item-label] and
[item-UPC]) does not work.

Any ideas on how I can include *any field* in the report and/or mail-receipt
files?

Thank You

 I've been trying without success to find a way of listing the
 contents of an arbitrary database. The database in question is a list
 of news headlines (like "new product, click here. Pope visits queen,
 click here, etc") that I want to display on the front page of the
 site.

 The database has only three columns: num, date and headline.

 I've tried the following and all have failed:

 [tag each news]
      <p>[loop-field headline]
 [/tag]


 [loop search="ra=yes/ml=9999"]
      <p>[loop-data news headline]
 [/loop]


 [loop search="ra=yes"]
 [sort news:date]
       <p>[loop-field headline]
 [/loop]


 [item-list news]
       <p>[item-field headline]
 [/item-list]


 [item-list]
       <p>[item-data news headline]
 [/item-list]


 I'd also like to be able to limit the number of headlines returned and
 to sort by date in decending order.

Regards,

Chris Wenham
