I only changed, in the VqMod below:
1. in the category.php Line:
'model' => $result['model'],
to:
'manufacturer' => $result['manufacturer'],
2. in the category.tpl Line:
<div>Model: <?php echo $product['model']; ?></div>
to:
<div>Manufacturer: <?php echo $product['manufacturer']; ?></div>
and it should function, just like on the OC v.2.2.x - themed image shown below!
Good Luck!

Never just mention 'AN ERROR' again, always inform, what error occurred, otherways, there is no help! 
But download my latest VqMod, shown above, and make sure,
that NOT even a Single white space GAP exists, BEFORE:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
It has been tested with a Default Theme OC v.2.2.x here:

BUT, to be honest, I believe to have seen this as a default optional Function somewhere in the admin Section.

Thanks for your help, there is no such option in the admin.IP_CAM wrote:Never just mention 'AN ERROR' again, always inform, what error occurred, otherways, there is no help!

It works good! Is it possible to make it work in the search page? manufacturer page? specials? featured?
Thank you Very Much
Sure, and you have all the knowledge, as shown in my sample Code above, and on the other Page, linked in the above Post, to, by example, make the same work, i.E., in the
search Section, as I just checked on.
You then only have to change the VqMod Content, from:
to:
and from:
to:
to likely make such work.
It's always the xxx.tpl file, in the Theme/template/... Section, in connection with it's xxx.php file, in the corresponding controller/... Section, required, to make such work!
Technically, you could add all the different Routines into one single VqMod,
or then, create one for each Task. I did not check on other Files, but at least
some of them could be 'handled' the same way, to make this Function visible,
I assume!
Good Luck

Well, it heavy depends on the THEME used, in my Responsive and Default 1.5.6.4+ Themes,
this VqMod works, as shown on the image below.
Good Luck!
