Trying to get my head around the embeded templates

On my detail page showing the one product I am trying to get the artist’s name who is being displayed added to the embed variable

{embed="site/related_products" artist="{exp:weblog:entries orderby="date" sort="asc" limit="1" weblog="Products" dynamic="on" disable="member_data|trackbacks"}
    {related_entries id="product_artist"}{title}{/related_entries}{/exp:weblog:entries}
    "}

so if on this page the artist represented is John Smith I want the embed to be

{embed="site/header" artist="John Doe"}

and then in my embed template I have

<div id="productdetailthumbs">
{exp:weblog:entries orderby="date" sort="desc" limit="99" weblog="artists" dynamic="off" category="5" disable="member_data|trackbacks"}
            <!--START PRODUCT-->
{if title == {embed:artist} }
{reverse_related_entries sort="desc" orderby="date" weblog="Products"}
<a href="{title_permalink={my_template_group}/fine_art_detail}" title="{title}">{product_image}
     {/reverse_related_entries} 
     {/if}
</h2>
              <!--END PRODUCT-->
            {/exp:weblog:entries}  
        
    </div>

USing the code above I am getting nothing

Eastwood Design,

Something like this will work for you. I just simplified the mark-up so you can change that back. You can see I am passing the url_title here rather than using a conditional in the embed.

On your product page use something like this

{exp:weblog:entries orderby="date" sort="asc" limit="1" weblog="Products" dynamic="on" disable="member_data|trackbacks"}
{title}
    {related_entries id="product_artist"}
{embed="site/artist" artist="{url_title}"}
{/related_entries}
{/exp:weblog:entries}

Then in the embed use this

{exp:weblog:entries orderby="date" sort="desc"  weblog="artists" dynamic="off" url_title="{embed:artist}"}

{reverse_related_entries sort="desc" orderby="date" weblog="Products"}
{title}

 {/reverse_related_entries} 

 {/exp:weblog:entries}

Let us know if that works
