I wanted to add the manufacturers name on each product under the categories page.

So you would see the image thumbnail, manufacturer then price.

I've added this into category.tpl

Code: Select all

<?php if ($manufacturer) { ?>
    <a href="<?php echo str_replace('&', '&', $manufacturers); ?>"><?php echo $manufacturer; ?></a>
              <?php } ?>

Which brings up errors as i've not yet edited category.php as i'm unsure what to do.

Any ideas would be a big help.

thanks

In catalog > controller > product > product.php there are the lines

Code: Select all

$this->data['manufacturer'] = $product_info['manufacturer'];
$this->data['manufacturers'] = $this->model_tool_seo_url->rewrite(HTTP_SERVER . 'index.php?route=product/manufacturer&manufacturer_id=' . $product_info['manufacturer_id']);

You basically have to add the same thing to catalog > controller > product > category.php although it should be along the lines of

Code: Select all

'manufacturer'    => $result['manufacturer'],

Put it after this line

Code: Select all

'name'    => $result['name'],

Of course, I'm assuming the getProductsByCategoryId() function actually loads manufacturer details - sorry, am too busy to run a check.

I'm trying to do this exact same thing. However, my coding knowledge is very limited and I've been unable to find the right places to add this code. I'm working on a grocery store website and it is important that manufacturer names display when browsing. Any pointers would be appreciated.

This reminds me, I'd like to get this going:

so we can have everything available at the view level as needed

Sorry, but this did not work for me. I'm with 1.5.6 version.
Says: Undefined variable: product_info.

Any help?

Chones, thanks for that, it worked fine for me, what I did was to add the following on the category list template:

Code: Select all

<div class="name">
<a href="<?php echo $product['href']; ?>"><?php echo $product['name']; ?></a>
<div class="manufacturer" style="min-height: 30px;">
<a href="#"><?php echo $product['manufacturer']; ?></a>
</div>
</div>

The only question I have is, how to link to the specific manufacturer? I just tried a few things but it returns an error when clicked, any idea?

Thanks so much!!
