Wouldn't it be better/simpler to add an option to the [mm_locale] tag?

E.g.

[mm_locale catalog=1]
        or
[mm_locale no_admin=1]

When catalog=1 (or no_admin=1) is set, the Locale repository of the
catalog is used. Also the mv_shadowpass wouldn't be set in such case.


Doing so would enable one to do the following:

[loop list="[value-extended order]"]
        [comment]
                Loop over selected orders
        [/comment]

        ... Order info here...

        ...Order line info below...
        [l]Qty[/l]   [l]Description[/l]   [l]Price[/l]

        [query list=1 table=orderline sql="select * from orderline 
where order_number = '[loop-code]' order by sku"]
                [sql-param quantity]
                [sql-param description]
                [sql-param price]
        [/query]
[/loop]

And when mapping is in place for the description field, one could display the
description of the product in the proper locale as well. That would be nice ;)





Best regards,

Ton
