Add author and other datas to a WP E-Commerce product

I found out how to create related products by author !
I had to change some parts of my code above.

1. First, create a custom taxonomy. I used Magic Fields 2 in order to create two taxonomies Auteur and Illustrateur, that I applied both to the Articles post types and the Product Pages post types.

2. I went to my product articles and I picked the Auteur and Illustrateur of each articles.

3. I went on my articles which are the biographies of the authors or illustrators of the products. I also checked the same taxonomy.

4. Then I used this code from Custom Related Posts using WordPress tags or taxonomies while doing some modifications.

First I deleted this line :

$post_types = get_post_types( array('public' => true), 'names' );

and

changed

'post_type' => '$post_types',

into

'post_type' => 'wpsc-product',

so that the author article won’t appear in the list of related products.

And here’s what I insert in my wpsc-single_product.php and single.php templates :

<?php // Related Products Taxonomy par illustrateur
//for in the loop, display all "content", regardless of post_type,
//that have the same custom taxonomy (e.g. genre) terms as the current post
$backup = $post;  // backup the current object
$found_none = '';
$taxonomy = 'illustrateur';//  e.g. post_tag, category, custom taxonomy
$param_type = 'illustrateur'; //  e.g. tag__in, category__in, but genre__in will NOT work
$tax_args=array('orderby' => 'none');
$tags = wp_get_post_terms( $post->ID , $taxonomy, $tax_args);
if ($tags) {
  foreach ($tags as $tag) {
    $args=array(
      "$param_type" => $tag->slug,
      'post__not_in' => array($post->ID),
      'post_type' => 'wpsc-product',
      'showposts'=>-1,
      'caller_get_posts'=>1
    );
    $my_query = null;
    $my_query = new WP_Query($args);
    if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
	?>
	<div class="meme">Du même illustrateur</div>
	<?php
      while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
         <div class="wpec-related-product product-<?php echo wpsc_the_product_id(); ?> <?php echo wpsc_category_class(); ?>">

                            <div class="wpec-related-image" id="related-pro-<?php echo wpsc_the_product_id(); ?>">
                                    <a href="<?php echo wpsc_the_product_permalink(); ?>">

                                        <?php if(wpsc_the_product_thumbnail()) : ?>
                                                    <img class="product_image" id="product_image_<?php echo wpsc_the_product_id(); ?>" alt="<?php echo wpsc_the_product_title(); ?>" title="<?php echo wpsc_the_product_title(); ?>" src="<?php echo wpsc_the_product_thumbnail(100, 100); ?>"/>
