If anybody is interested, I never managed to pull in the field (still
not sure why), but got the dynamic name working by simply using the
variable I was calling in the function (not sure why I didn't think of
that before!
Relevant code looks like this:
// declare feed function:
function feed($name = null) {
$this->set
(
'channel',
array
(
'title' => $name
)
);
