was this once in a previous version and now removed in v1.4? i have description for one of my manufactueres and i have no gone to add description to the others and can't find how, and then thought i'd edit the one already with a description and can't find that either.
am i going crazy and can't see it or has it gone?
I've done a clean install of v1.4.0 and there is NOT a description field in manufacturers... this is a add-on/module.

There's category description mod available but I didn't find manufacturer description mod, sorry. There's some discussions in this thread http://forum.opencart.com/viewtopic.php ... ion#p26211

"Real programmers don't document. If it was hard to write, it should be hard to understand."
Here is a solution how i done it.
1. Adding sql table
2. edit catalog/controller/product/manufacturer.php
after line 36: add something like this:
3. edit TPL to show discription. Go to catalog/view/theme/(your theme)/template/product/manufacturer.tpl
after line 10:
add this:
And thats it. It will show above a sort order (if there is something in discription )
Oh. And we have to add option to dashboard as well.
(and is a little more troblesome)
4. go to admin/model/catalog/manufacturer.php
after line 8-10: add this code :
and that same code after line 24-26.(look the same way like above one)
5. edit admin/controller/catalog/manufacturer.php
after line 345, add this one
and in line 275:
6.edit admin/view/template/catalog/manufacturer_form.tpl
after line 30, press enter and add this one:
and under close box div (line 42) add that code :
And now you got CKeditor on your discription text area.
7.in /admin/language/english/catalog/manufacturer.php add one line under line 18(19?):
And thats it.
hope its help
Edit:
I Add admin-language solution, and some one code in controller/catalog/man... .php
1. Adding sql table
Code: Select all
ALTER TABLE `manufacturer` ADD `description` TEXT CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL after line 36:
Code: Select all
$this->data['heading_title'] = $manufacturer_info['name'];
Code: Select all
$this->data['m_description'] = $manufacturer_info['description'];
after line 10:
Code: Select all
<div class="middle">Code: Select all
<div class="div1">
<?php echo $m_description; ?>
</div>
Oh. And we have to add option to dashboard as well.
(and is a little more troblesome)
4. go to admin/model/catalog/manufacturer.php
after line 8-10:
Code: Select all
if (isset($data['image'])) {
$this->db->query("UPDATE " . DB_PREFIX . "manufacturer SET image = '" . $this->db->escape($data['image']) . "' WHERE manufacturer_id = '" . (int)$manufacturer_id . "'");
}
Code: Select all
if (isset($data['discription'])) {
$this->db->query("UPDATE " . DB_PREFIX . "manufacturer SET discription = '" . $this->db->escape($data['discription']) . "' WHERE manufacturer_id = '" . (int)$manufacturer_id . "'");
}5. edit admin/controller/catalog/manufacturer.php
after line 345, add this one
Code: Select all
if (isset($this->request->post['description'])) {
$this->data['description'] = $this->request->post['description'];
} elseif (isset($manufacturer_info)) {
$this->data['description'] = $manufacturer_info['description'];
} else {
$this->data['description'] = '';
}
Code: Select all
$this->data['entry_discription'] = $this->language->get('entry_discription');
after line 30, press enter and add this one:
Code: Select all
<tr>
<td><?php echo $entry_discription; ?></td>
<td><textarea name="description" id="description"><?php echo $description; ?></textarea></td>
</tr>
Code: Select all
<script type="text/javascript" src="view/javascript/ckeditor/ckeditor.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
CKEDITOR.replace('description');
</script>
7.in /admin/language/english/catalog/manufacturer.php add one line under line 18(19?):
Code: Select all
$_['entry_discription'] = 'discription';
hope its help

I Add admin-language solution, and some one code in controller/catalog/man... .php

I do not care about my bad English.
Mhm,
very nice, thank you very much..
I would like to ask, what should I do, when I want to add a short description to the products.. BUT I dont mean the product detail, but product list... latest products, categories, search , and so on... I guess, i have to add a table to sql, probably like this
but I dont know what to change in admin, controller, and so on...
Does anybody know..? Thank you!!

Did you mean small description of product in product list, for example like this one - http://ishop.nay.sk/sk/catalog/products-list?node=372 ?vojtech25 wrote:no no...

Short description of product's parameters in the list of products...More detailed description is then in product detail...
I have the same problem. Still searching for the solution, but unsuccessfully. This is a very common feature of most of eshops, for me it is strange that opencart doesn't provide. If anybody could help and share his experience or advice, please, help...
Thank you a lot.
Was this for 1.4 or 1.3.x?Hollow wrote:Here is a solution how i done it.
I gave it a shot on 1.3.4 and ran into 2 snags.
When adding or editing the manufacturer in the admin I'm seeing this error.
Code: Select all
Notice: Undefined variable: entry_description in C:\xampp\htdocs\oc134\admin\view\template\catalog\manufacturer_form.tpl on line 34
