I am trying to display the description in a separate part of my skin from the title.  The following does not work:

What you want is the proper source... in the menu blocks, the source refers to the game entry's field, but in the context of a layout, you need to specify the "Current Game" as the source, with the field name as the key:

<LayoutElement Type=”Text” Source=”CGEntryValue” Key=”Descr”>


Seems a little odd, but I've made it possible to access just about everything in the system. wink.gif

Perfect.  Have you posted an API anywhere?  I'd love to know what more I have access to.
