[version]

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?
