I've noticed that the manufacturer description is not showing as it is in the image attached to the first post .. I assume because of a database change.

Anyone know the proper code change to get the manufacturer description to show?

Thanks

Hello all,
Could anyone tell me how I could modify manufacturerinfo.tpl to use products_t.tpl to display the products within this section so that it has a consistent look and feel with the products list pages.
I have been trying to do something like the following:

Code:

{include file="customer/main/products_t.tpl" products=$manufacturerinfo.product}

But I am unsure how to pass the correct variables through to make it work

Any help is greatly appreciated

Hello!
This mod works fine for me (4.1.11)
Only one problem: I can't get the description on the product page.
The mod code is:

{$product.manudescr|truncate:250:"...":true}

but do not print nothing

I tried also something like: {$manufacturer.descr} or {$product.manudescr} or {$product.manufacturer.descr} without results

Someone could help me?

Tnx

Hello! I solved the description problems:

Add to manufacturerinfo.php

$thisManufactorer = $product_info["manufacturerid"];
$manufacturer = func_query("SELECT * FROM $sql_tbl[manufacturers] WHERE manufacturerid = $thisManufactorer");
$smarty->assign("manufacturer", $manufacturer[0]["manufacturer"]);
$smarty->assign("thedescr", $manufacturer[0]["descr"]);

Then on manufacturerinfo.tpl where do you want the description you can use:

{$manufacturerinfo.descr|truncate:50:"...":true}

And you will see the description.

The unique problem is that I'm unable to get the multilanguage feature.
In manufactorer page the translation works fine, instead on manufacturerinfo.tpl I can't get the multilanguage description.

Someone could help?

[pmalerba]

I can't understand how the multilanguage works

I tried this query :

$manufacturer_data = func_query_first("SELECT $sql_tbl[manufacturers].*, IF($sql_tbl[images_M].id IS NULL, '', 'Y') as is_image, IFNULL($sql_tbl[manufacturers_lng].manufacturer, $sql_tbl[manufacturers].manufacturer) as manufacturer, IFNULL($sql_tbl[manufacturers_lng].descr, $sql_tbl[manufacturers].descr) as descr FROM $sql_tbl[manufacturers] LEFT JOIN $sql_tbl[manufacturers_lng] ON $sql_tbl[manufacturers_lng].manufacturerid = $sql_tbl[manufacturers].manufacturerid AND $sql_tbl[manufacturers_lng].code = '$shop_language' LEFT JOIN $sql_tbl[images_M] ON $sql_tbl[images_M].id = $sql_tbl[manufacturers].manufacturerid WHERE $sql_tbl[manufacturers].manufacturerid = '$manufacturerid'");

and

$query_data = array(
"url" => $url,
"descr" => $descr
);
$query_data_lng = array(
"manufacturerid" => $manufacturerid,
"code" => $shop_language,
"descr" => $descr
);

But using {$query_data_lng|@debug_print_var} or {$manufacturer.descr|@debug_print_var}
I get NULL

I'm sorry but I'm newbe with php

Any help?

Thanks for support.

Could this technique be used to have the providers name on all of his/her products? (ideally it would be clickable to show all his products, like a search result for him or something)

am I crazy?

Still cannot get the mfg description to show up. Can anyone confirm the above is correct. There are some misspelled words in it.
