I've been trying to get the manufacturer's name to show up with the products on products.tpl and products_t.tpl and have not had much luck.

My Code:

<div id="featured_manufacturer">Manufacturer:<a href="manufacturers.php?manufacturerid={$products[product].manufacturerid}" alt="{$manufacturer}">{$products[product].manufacturer}</a></div>

The link works, but the text does not show. To find out the link was working I just inserted some text. I've searched for solutions but none apply to the current branch of x-cart. I do not want the image for the manufacturer, just the name.

Thanks

Shouldn't the </a> come after the {$products[product].manufacturer} ?

[csgrant]

it should and it does, I made a typo. Doesnt have any bearing on the problem however, even with it outside the </a>, it should still display the name, just without a link.

So I'm just going to assume nobody who shows the manufacturer name on their current site has upgraded to the 4.1.x branch and I am the only one with this problem?

I have done this, I was just trying to remember how. I think this may be it...

In products.php enter the code

if($products)
{
foreach($products as $key=> $product)
$products[$key]["manufacturer"]= func_query_first_cell("select manufacturer from $sql_tbl[manufacturers] where manufacturerid=".$product["manufacturerid"]);
}

just before assigning the $smarty variables.

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={$product.manufacturerid}&amp;ty pe=M" alt="{$manufacturer}" style="vertical-align:middle;" border="0" /></a>&nbsp;<a href="manufacturers.php?manufacturerid={$product.m anufacturerid}">See All Products</a>
</div>
{/if}
