Re: Manufacturer name in from of Product name
 

Doesn't work for me I'm afraid. I tried both these options in post #17. Is bringing in the manufacturer more involved than modifying this bit of code? Thanks.

Re: Manufacturer name in from of Product name
 

Use post #14. Then you should edit some tpl files. And replace $product.product and $producttitle with your new variable. For the future I will insert an check box in Admin and make some if statements. For example: Do you want Manufacturer name in front of product name?

Re: Manufacturer name in from of Product name
 

One more soft question. What is the difference between $product.product and $product.producttitle? Are they the same? Maybe they have same values, using different queries.

Cheers

$product.manufacturer is a valid variable in product.tpl

Re: Manufacturer name in from of Product name
 

$product.product is the value of product field in products table. In func.product.php we find which make $product.producttitle same as $product.product
What's the reason? I don't know maybe to make it more obvious that this is the product name

Re: Manufacturer name in from of Product name
 

Does that mean it should work in products_list.tpl (line 29). Is that what you're saying?

Because when I alter:
to
it displays nothing at all.

If need be I'll try the method described in #14 but I got the impression that it was not best practice.

Re: Manufacturer name in from of Product name
 

product.tpl and products_list.tpl are different templates and $product.manufacturer is not be available in products_list.tpl
You need to edit the php file responsible for populating the products array for products_list.tpl to include manufacturer description in the query

Thanks very much Steve. That makes sense. I'll see how I get on doing that.
