$smarty->assign("product",$product_info);

+ $manufacturer = func_query_first("SELECT manufacturer FROM $sql_tbl[manufacturers] WHERE manufacturerid='$product_info[manufacturerid]'");
+ $smarty->assign("manufacturer", $manufacturer);

Could anybody post the variant that instead of saying
Manufacturer:Timex
It will show the brandlogo, something like
Timex.gif (brand logo)
else
Timex (text)

To me the customer recognize faster the logo than the name
.

Also, how can I change the manufacturer.php so it will put the brandlogos and names in several columns, instead of one column name.
With an output like this: http://www.makeitfast.com/default.php?manufacturers_id=11

How about a manufacturer logo?
How can I place the manufacturer's logo above the product tile?

I am kind of envious of newegg.com

I like how the manufacturer logo appears with the products.

Thanks in advance.

Basically the same exact method, but instead use {$manufacturer.image}

Make sure you have image included in the SELECT query too.

Make sure you have image included in the SELECT query too.

Sorry, how do you go about doing this ?

Here is the MySQL table fields:

Modify the code added in product.php so the query looks like this:

$manufacturer = func_query_first("SELECT manufacturer,image FROM $sql_tbl[manufacturers] WHERE manufacturerid='$product_info[manufacturerid]'");

great work pmstudios!

I've just started out on PHP so please forgive my noobness

As for

{manufacturer.image}

this would output the blob in raw GIF89 code.


Here's what I've done for displaying manufacturer's image:

in products.tpl

to display image:

[img]mlogo.php?manufacturerid={$manufacturerid.manufacturerid}[/img]

to display the manufacturer name and a link that display other products by the manufacturer:

Manuacturer: {$manufacturer.manufacturer}

in product.php

$manufacturer = func_query_first("SELECT manufacturer,image,image_type,manufacturerid FROM $sql_tbl[manufacturers] WHERE manufacturerid='$product_info[manufacturerid]'");
$smarty->assign("manufacturer", $manufacturer);


$manufacturerid = func_query_first("SELECT manufacturerid FROM $sql_tbl[products] WHERE manufacturerid='$product_info[manufacturerid]'");
$smarty->assign("manufacturerid", $manufacturerid);

Thanks again pmstudios for an excellent code!

I am sorry to ask, but i am having no luck on getting this to work for me, I have to be missing somthing....

In my Product.php file I added this code :

# Manufacturers Logo In Products
$smarty->assign("product",$product_info); 

$manufacturer = func_query_first("SELECT manufacturer,image FROM $sql_tbl[manufacturers] WHERE manufacturerid='$product_info[manufacturerid]'"); 
#end logo in Products

And added this to my Product.Tpl file :

[img]mlogo.php?manufacturerid={$manufacturerid.manufacturerid}[/img]

Pretty much as directed. But still no luck. My product template does display the Xcart image place holder but not the manufacturers Logo.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hey MPJ, it is in products.tpl or product.tpl
In the other post they are talking about product.tpl

Hey Vortex, can you post your code, is exactly what I want to do, put the logo at the top, and the text under the image product.
