Need some really basic help with template based batch reports

[Bruce - PhosphorMedia]

The existing Template Based Batch Reports will also have some examples of gathering pretty much everything you would want from the orders.

Thanks for the detailed reply Nick I'll give it a shot

Here is a code snippet to see the variables and values of an array:

<mvt:eval expr="decodeattribute(glosub(miva_array_serialize(VARIABLE FOR ARRAY HERE), ',', '<br>'))" />

The array for the items in an order will be in the order:items array. If you navigate to the INVC page within the admin you can use that code as an example of how the array is structured.

The snippet below will output the variables and values of a product within the item array.

<!-- EXAMPLE: -->
<mvt:foreach iterator="order" array="admin_order:orders">
    <mvt:foreach iterator="item" array="order:items">
        <mvt:eval expr="decodeattribute(glosub(miva_array_serialize(l.settings:item), ',', '<br>'))" />
    </mvt:foreach>
</mvt:foreach>

Hopefully this helps!

I'm trying to build a custom .csv with a batch report template. Found some help here, but I'm bad so I need more help with the template language... I can see it has a loop for orders which is perfect:

<mvt:foreach iterator="order" array="admin_order:orders">

</mvt:foreach>

But I don't know how to then individually loop through each product and also each attribute. I want to add statements to check if product attributes contain certain words so I can enter correct words or just commas.

<mvt:foreach iterator="???" array="???">

</mvt:foreach>

Any help at all (even just links to the right docs) is appreciated!
