X-Cart 4.0.0 Showing Manufacturer on Product Page

Hello,

I was trying to figure this out, but couldn't seem to get the SQL right. ( I believe that is where my problem is).

What would I have to do to display the product's manufacturer in the product's detailed page. I want to use the manufacturer's table in the database, but can't seem to get it to work.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance for any comments / suggestions!!

This is the way I have done it:

Quote:

# changes to product.php
add this code somewhere before the smarty assigns will happen like line #112
#
# Get the real manufacturer
#
$thisManufactorer = $product_info["manufacturerid"];
$manufacturer = func_query("SELECT * FROM $sql_tbl[manufacturers] WHERE manufacturerid = $thisManufactorer");
$smarty->assign("manufacturer", $manufacturer[0]["manufacturer"]);

#changes to customer/main/product.tpl
# where to place the code is up to you :)
<tr><TD align="left" valign="top">
Producer:

</td>
<TD align="left" valign="top">
{$manufacturer}
<font size=1 face=Arial>(click to get all productions of this producer)</font>

</td>
</tr>

I hope this will help you a little bit

does anyone have a link that shows this working...?

My problem is that I want to setup categories and sub categories (example --- bath & body [category], soaps [subcategory].

Then I want to add a product to this (or possibly more categories).

Now the key thing is that when I create a new product I want to enter the manufacture (or select from a list of manufactures directly from the product page).

I now want to give the customer the ability of viewing all the manufactures and when he selects one it shoud lists all the products categorized in categorises/subcategories.

A customer should also be able to search for a manufactures and have all products listed.

what version are you running?

manufacturers was incorporated into version 4

you can see the manufacturer listed on the product page on my site here:

http://www.netmedicalsupply.com/store/catalog/BioStim-M7-Digital-TENS-Unit-p-22161.html

live site, so no test orders please

notice the manufacturer listing on the lower left, and the ability to search for mfr in the advanced search page.

ver 4 also allow unlimited categories/subcategories

hth,
mike

Manufacturer on Invoice

Great, I got manufacturer on product page, now how do I get it to show on the Invoice.

I'm using xcart for a bookstore and client wants author (manufacturer) to show under each product title.

version 4.04

Modified TPL code for my purposes.

Advantages, only show Manufacturer if the manufacturer exists for that product. I also turned off the absolute link to the manufacturers.php and went with the relative link.

Code:

{if $manufacturer ne ""}

<tr><TD align="left" valign="top"> 

Manufacturer:

 

</td> 

<TD align="left" valign="top"> 

{$manufacturer}

<font size=1 face=Arial>(Click to get more information about this manufacturer)</font>

 

</td> 

</tr>

{/if}

Based on this, does anyone know how to get the manufacturer's description to display on product.tpl ?

I tried

Code:

{$manufacturer.descr|escape}

but that doesn't work - it just shows the first character of the manufacturer's name and nothing of the description. :oops:

For manufacturer name, not description of:

All I did was put the following code in the customer/main/product.tpl:

Code:

<TR><TD align="left" valign="top">{$lng.lbl_manufacturer}:</TD>

<TD align="left" valign="top">{$product.manufacturer}</TD>

</TR>

... and now my product's manufacturer is in the product details page.
