Expresso Store: Item Title

Question

I am attempting to create a repeater list for all the items in the cart, however I am having trouble generating the title and and custom fields.

{items}
                            {exp:channel:entries channel="product" entry_id="{entry_id}"}
                            <tr>
                                <td style="width:350px"><p class="item-title">{title}</p><p>Size: Large</p></td>
                                <td style="width:75px"><input style="width: 40px;" type="text" name="items[{key}][item_qty]" value="{item_qty}" /></td>
                                <td style="width:260px"><p class="item-title">{price}</p></td>
                                <td style="width:260px"><p class="item-title">{item_subtotal}</p></td>
                                <td style="width:75px; text-align: center;"><input type="checkbox" name="remove_items[{key}]" value="1" /></td>
                            </tr>
                            {/exp:channel:entries}
                            {/items}

All the short-tags used by the store function as expected, however all the titles and custom fields will only grab the data from the newest entry and repeat.

A great way to solve issues like this is to {embed} the script you wish to repeat.

For example:

{items}
    {embed="cart/_items.html"}
{/items}

and within your template, eg cart/_items.html

{exp:channel:entries channel="product" entry_id="{entry_id}"}
    <tr>
        <td style="width:350px"><p class="item-title">{title}</p><p>Size: Large</p></td>
        <td style="width:75px"><input style="width: 40px;" type="text" name="items[{key}][item_qty]" value="{item_qty}" /></td>
        <td style="width:260px"><p class="item-title">{price}</p></td>
        <td style="width:260px"><p class="item-title">{item_subtotal}</p></td>
        <td style="width:75px; text-align: center;"><input type="checkbox" name="remove_items[{key}]" value="1" /></td>
    </tr>
{/exp:channel:entries}

Embedding helps to eliminate issues causes when nesting loops in Expression Engine.

Found what the issue was, seems obvious to me now. I was using an exp:channel:entries tag wrapped around the template to generate the fields for the page itself (just title in this case), this of course caused an issue because I was calling another exp:channel:entries tag inside of it.

In order to get around this I would need to place the entire {exp:store:checkout} -- all the stuff --{/exp:store:checkout} in its own embed, not just the 2nd {exp:channel:entries} tag.
