I'm wondering this as well. Please advise. Thanks!

Re: More Effective Manufacturer view on Product Detail Page
 

I've noticed that the manufacturer description is not showing as it is in the image attached to the first post .. I assume because of a database change.

Anyone know the proper code change to get the manufacturer description to show?

Thanks

Use products_t.tpl in manufacturerinfo.tpl
 

Hello all,
Could anyone tell me how I could modify manufacturerinfo.tpl to use products_t.tpl to display the products within this section so that it has a consistent look and feel with the products list pages.
I have been trying to do something like the following:

Code:


But I am unsure how to pass the correct variables through to make it work

Any help is greatly appreciated

Hello!
This mod works fine for me (4.1.11)
Only one problem: I can't get the description on the product page.
The mod code is:

{$product.manudescr|truncate:250:"...":true}

but do not print nothing :(

I tried also something like: {$manufacturer.descr} or {$product.manudescr} or {$product.manufacturer.descr} without results :(

Someone could help me?

Tnx

Hello! I solved the description problems:

Add to manufacturerinfo.php

$thisManufactorer = $product_info["manufacturerid"];
$manufacturer = func_query("SELECT * FROM $sql_tbl[manufacturers] WHERE manufacturerid = $thisManufactorer");
$smarty->assign("manufacturer", $manufacturer[0]["manufacturer"]);
$smarty->assign("thedescr", $manufacturer[0]["descr"]);

Then on manufacturerinfo.tpl where do you want the description you can use:

{$manufacturerinfo.descr|truncate:50:"...":true}

And you will see the description.

The unique problem is that I'm unable to get the multilanguage feature.
In manufactorer page the translation works fine, instead on manufacturerinfo.tpl I can't get the multilanguage description.

Someone could help?

I can't understand how the multilanguage works :(

I tried this query :


and


But using {$query_data_lng|@debug_print_var} or {$manufacturer.descr|@debug_print_var}
I get NULL :(

I'm sorry but I'm newbe with php :(

Any help?

Thanks for support.

Could this technique be used to have the providers name on all of his/her products? (ideally it would be clickable to show all his products, like a search result for him or something)

am I crazy?
