Display Manufacturer Name on Products Page
 

Hi,
I am trying to show the Manufacturer name (and link to the manufacturer) on the products pages.

In the products_t.tpl adding
doesn't produce any results.

If I put the same code in the product.tpl page, it displays the manufacturer correctly.

Any ideas how I can add it to the products page? Is there something missing from the php file?

Thanks,
Jenny

How would I go about including it in the array?

It seems that - {$product.manufacturerid} is included, just not the Manufacturer name.

Thanks,

Do you know what I need to add to the php file? Any specific instructions would be appreciated.

BACKUP FIRST. THIS IS NOT TESTED.

Try adding this in products.php just before
$smarty->assign("cat_products", $products);

if (!empty($products)) {
foreach ($products as $k=>$v)
$products[$k]['manufacturer'] = func_query_first_cell("SELECT manufacturer FROM $sql_tbl[manufacturers] WHERE manufacturerid = $v[manufacturerid]");
}

@cflsystems, your code worked like a charm! Here's the full code I used

In products.php below: $smarty->assign('cat_products', isset($products) ? $products : array());

Then add the following code into your product_details.tpl page where ever you want it

That worked perfectly for me as well.

Any ideas how I would do it on the invoice page? as well as the cart summary on the last step of the fast lane checkout?

Thanks again for your help.

Hi,

This is very interesting. I am trying to pull the manufacturer to the products_list file and tried your code. It didn't work.

Does your code need to be changed to get what I need?

Thanks,

Any idea how you would display the manufacturer logo and link to manufacturer page on the products page instead of the name?
