I would like to add a link to a product manufacturer in the individual product page itself.

To explain by example:

There are about 1000 products in the store and over 50 Manufacturers that make the different products.

I've set up the products and the manufacturers. So the products are displayed in each category as well as under each Manufacturer.

The idea is that somewhere on the individual product page, there should be a link to the manufacturer of that product.

"Click here to read about the Manufacturer" or something similar.

For ease, it would be ideal if this could appear on the individual product page automatically, depending on what Manufacturer has been selected on the product page in admin.

I thought of adding an extra field named Manufacturer and then type out the link to the manufacturer in each labour intensive for the amount of products/manufacturers on the site.

Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hi Joanne

What version of x-cart are you using for this shop?

[cflsystems]

You may need to adjust depending on your cart version but this code will show manufacturer image. Put it in skin1/customer/main/product.tpl where you want it to show

{if $product.manufacturer ne ""}
<a href="manufacturers.php?manufacturerid={$product.manufacturerid}"><img src="image.php?id={$product.manufacturerid}&amp;type=M" alt="{$manufacturer}" /></a>&nbsp;<a href="manufacturers.php?manufacturerid={$product.manufacturerid}">See All Products</a>
{/if}
