I have added the following code in product.tpl:

 <a href="manufacturers.php?manufacturerid={$v.manufacturerid}"><u>{$product.manufacturer}</u></a>

This shows the manufacturer name of the product shown and it's clickable but the url goes to manufacturers.php?manufacturerid= without the manufacturer's id behind it; is there a way to get this done?

Try this:

<a href="manufacturers.php?manufacturerid={$product.manufacturerid}"><u>{$product.manufacturer}</u></a>

Do you also know how to get clickable search keywords? (see also: http://forum.x-cart.com/showthread.php?t=26481)

I know how to display them on the product page (by adding {$product.keywords}) but I want them to be clickable so that the search function is used with the clicked word.

Imagine something looking like this:

Related search terms: blue, medium, cotton

when you click on let's say 'blue' the search engine is used displaying all products found with 'blue' as search keyword. I hope this makes sense?

I'm not sure, I will work something out and post it for you later today.

That would be great!

First you will need to configure your search to work with URL queries. You can try this mod (I have never used this mod, so it may or may not work).

Then you will have to separate your keywords with just a space (so they be separated and placed into an array).

Open product.php.

After this:

PHP Code:

if (!empty($active_modules["Special_Offers"])) {
    include $xcart_dir."/modules/Special_Offers/product_offers.php";
} 


Add these lines

PHP Code:

$keywords = preg_split("/\W+/", $product_info['keywords']);
$smarty->assign('keywords', $keywords); 


Then add this to your product.tpl wherever you want the links:

<p>
{foreach from=$keywords item=keyword}
<a href="search.php?search={$keyword}">{$keyword}</a><br />
{/foreach}
</p>

Let me know if the search by URL mod doesn't work for 4.1.x

You're not the man you're the master! Works great
Thanks a million.

Final question; is it also possible to get the search keywords that are in the 'international description' of the product?

i.e. to make it multilanguage (english keywords shown when English is selected as language; french keywords shown when French language is selected by visitor).

Now it is showing the search keywords from the 'Product details' in the backoffice.

Is there anybody outthere who can help me with this?
