Default Re: Add Manufacturer in Product Detail Page

What if you are the manufacturer, and all you sell are your own products? X-cart code is bloated enough without checking first to see if there is a manufacturer, and then determining which manufacturer is associated with the product. You should be able to add it with some custom template editiing, but it should definitely not be a default.

I have played with 4.2 a little, but have not tried to do what you ask. It should be fairly straight forward to just add the extra field and put the link in it, if that is what you want to do.

Have you looked at the manufacturers module to see if you can call some of the variables in there to achieve what you want?
