Custom Layout - need (MUST) to access a Session Variable

Jaymer

		# if(data["QtyAvail"] ) { #
		<div class="a-row-mobile">
			<span class="search_label-mobile">Qty. Available: </span>
			<span class="search_value_descr-mobile" >{QtyAvail}</span>
		</div>
				# } #

This snippet is from a Custom Layout. Only when the QtyAvail field IS NOT NULL does it include the <DIV> section to show the field. I've done this quite a bit.
The syntax checker here will validate that a field in BRACES is valid and exists in the BO.

But now, I need to add conditional HTML based on a field value THAT IS NOT IN THE BO.
Either a field from LIRU, or from my SessionVars BO.

In my specific case, I'm showing items available to sell. I want to show an indicator for an item that has been added since the users last visit.

👉NEWITEM👈 but I need the LastLogin date from the user record, to check against each item's DateCreated

One option is not to do it in the custom template, but have a custom Javascript that would bind to the dataBound event of the ListView Kendo widget and then perform marking of the records according to the info in the session object. The Javascript can use tag expressions <<SessionObj.Value>> inside the script itself.

Another option (ugly one) is to create an attribute of the BO and copy the value from the session object (if it's possible)
