I use this in product.tpl don't know if it will help you. It shows manufacturer logo and "See All..." but not the manufacturer name
{if $product.manufacturer ne ""}
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px;">
<a href="manufacturers.php?manufacturerid={$product.m anufacturerid}"><img src="image.php?id={$product.manufacturerid}&ty pe=M" alt="{$manufacturer}" style="vertical-align:middle;" border="0" /></a> <a href="manufacturers.php?manufacturerid={$product.m anufacturerid}">See All Products</a>
</div>
{/if}
