ITEM.NAME macro not working with web monitoring scenarios

[jpriceit]

Hi all,

I'm using v1.6.1 and when I try to use something like this:

{ITEM.NAME}: {{HOSTNAME}:{TRIGGER.KEY}.last(0)}

AFAIK this works for everything except web monitoring scenarios. For web monitoring, the resultant email contains this instead:

Failed step of scenario '$1': 1

I can only assume that '$1' is supposed to be a variable containing the scenario name, but is either not escaped correctly or is double-quoted incorrectly or none of the above; I don't know.

Reported as bug ZBX-778

If anyone has any suggestions as to workarounds or hacks to get item description passed to the trigger or action correctly, I would be welcome to hear it.

Also, if anyone knows where I could start looking, either in one of the php scripts or even in the C source, that would be a big help. If I figure out a clean fix for it I'll offer a patch.

Thanks in advance.
