Hello,

I need to create different layout for manufacturer pages (where you can see all the products of every manufacturer).

However Catalog-Manufacturer works different o Information pages or Category pages... so I am not sure how to create the layout for every manufacturer "category" in order to add individual banner or slideshow to my manufacturer.

I have tried in the System-Design-Layouts add a new layout with the route: product/manufacturer/info&manufacturer_id=12 instead of the normal way just putting product/manufacturer/ because I can't point the layout in Catalog-Manufacturers.

I am using Opencart 1.5.4

Any idea of how can I do that?

Thank you!

I have copied the structure of the layout system of category to manufacturer editing model, controller and catalog in admin area and also adding the new table to the db and now looks like is everything ok except that the layout are not working because I dont understand why the structure of the URL is different to the category or information area.


I mean the route of a category for example is:

Code: Select all

route=product/category&path=60_63
So if I create a layout with the route product/category gets correctly the ID of each in order to asign the layout I want.

But the route of a manufacturer is:

Code: Select all

product/manufacturer/info&manufacturer_id=16
So if I create a layout with "product/manufacturer" is applied to all manufacturer pages even if I have selected in the new layout part in each manufacturer that I want one particular. And I think this is because the strange link that contains "info&manufacturer_id" when in the database this is called only "manufacturer_id" so I am not really sure what I have to edit in the controller/model to tell the system that have to look at the url "info&manufacturer" instead of just manufacturer that is wrong.

Thank you!

one could create a free Custom Page, and place it's content, whereever one likes:
http://www.opencart.com/index.php?route ... tom%20page
it just takes a little coding knowledge.
http://www.opencart.com/index.php?route ... on_id=6857
http://www.opencart.com/index.php?route ... n_id=15906
http://www.opencart.com/index.php?route ... n_id=20784

or then buy one, possibly beeing able to this, with some assistance by the vendor:
http://www.opencart.com/index.php?route ... tom%20page
