Display manufacturer logo in product.tpl

Hello ...

Is it possible to display the manufacturers logo within the product details page (product.tpl) for the selected product.

Thanks & Regards

Thanks ...

I got around it .. but required a little tweaking for it to work in version 4.1.0:

Added the following code within product.php:

Quote:

$thisManufactorer = $product_info["manufacturerid"];
$manufacturer = func_query("SELECT xcart_manufacturers.*, xcart_images_m.image_path, xcart_images_m.filename FROM xcart_manufacturers, xcart_images_m WHERE xcart_manufacturers.manufacturerid = xcart_images_m.id AND manufacturerid = $thisManufactorer");
$smarty->assign("manufacturer", $manufacturer[0]["manufacturer"]);
$smarty->assign("m_image_path", $manufacturer[0]["image_path"]);

And then added the following within product.tpl

Quote:

{if $m_image_path ne ""}
[img]{$m_image_path}[/img]{/if}
{/if}

Regards

Re: Display manufacturer logo in product.tpl

can this be done easily in 4.1.10 ?

Is there a nice free module or some additional core function available?

Re: Display manufacturer logo in product.tpl

Do you think it's not working for me because of the typo ?

$thisManufactorer <-

$thisManufacturer ?? how are we supposed to use code with variable variables?

There is the same variable name in SQL query.
But table name is case sensitive.
So right php code is

PHP Code:


		
			
$thisManufactorer = $product_info["manufacturerid"];

$manufacturer = func_query("SELECT xcart_manufacturers.*, xcart_images_M.image_path, xcart_images_M.filename FROM xcart_manufacturers, xcart_images_M WHERE xcart_manufacturers.manufacturerid = xcart_images_M.id AND manufacturerid = $thisManufactorer");

$smarty->assign("manufacturer", $manufacturer[0]["manufacturer"]);

$smarty->assign("m_image_path", $manufacturer[0]["image_path"]);

tpl code to show manufacturer logo

Code:

{if $m_image_path ne ""}

<img src="{$m_image_path}" />{/if}

Re: Display manufacturer logo in product.tpl

couldn't someone add a function to the core of X-Cart like:

get_manufacturers_image();

these functions are pretty standard in most free systems - eg wordpress, which is so easy to customise compared to X-Cart

why are these convenient functions noticably absent from x-cart?

also the manufacturers module is not really worthy of the term module is it?

shouldn't there be a few more options like:
• show manufacturers logo on product pages √
• show next / previous product navigation by same manufacturer √
• show related manufacturers √ (if part of same parent company)
• show plain word link below logo √
etc...

Where are these options? - why aren't they standard?

Re: Display manufacturer logo in product.tpl

I don't know much php but this looks like relevant code?

$manufacturer['image_path'] = func_get_image_url($manufacturerid, "M", $manufacturer['image_path']);

So can anyone tell me how to get the url to the manufacturer for a given product?

I've got the logo displaying - but i want it to be an active link (why wouldn't I????)

I just need to get the $manufacturerid variable to work (this example below is for a plain text link - not the logo version / but easily transferable)

HTML Code:

<a href="manufacturers.php?manufacturerid={$manufacturerid}">{$manufacturer}</a><br />

what am i doing wrong here?

Thanks

Re: Display manufacturer logo in product.tpl

The code below shows manufacturer logo as active link. If there is no logo, it shows manufacturer name.
Modified PHP:

PHP Code:


		
			
$thisManufactorer = $product_info["manufacturerid"]; 

$manufacturer = func_query("SELECT xcart_manufacturers.*, xcart_images_M.image_path, xcart_images_M.filename FROM xcart_manufacturers, xcart_images_M WHERE xcart_manufacturers.manufacturerid = xcart_images_M.id AND manufacturerid = $thisManufactorer"); 

$smarty->assign("manufacturer", $manufacturer[0]); 

$smarty->assign("m_image_path", $manufacturer[0]["image_path"]);

TPL

Code:

<a href="manufacturers.php?manufacturerid={$manufacturer.manufacturerid}">

{if $m_image_path ne ""}

<img src="{$m_image_path}" />{else}{$manufacturer.manufacturer}{/if}</a>
