I am kind of confused here. If you provide me your live URL, i will better assist you.
But let me give you the idea what link does what. Then you can do the configuration by yourself.
I will provide you the link by our DEMO page.
This link:
flexiblewebdesign.com/virtuemart-2-template-coolmart/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=manufacturer&virtuemart_manufacturer_id=16&tmpl=component
show the "burberry" manufacturer page (load only component), which is ideal way of usage inside the Modal Popup
This link:
flexiblewebdesign.com/virtuemart-2-template-coolmart/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=manufacturer&virtuemart_manufacturer_id=16
shows the "burberry" manufacturer page (loads the entire page)
This link:
flexiblewebdesign.com/virtuemart-2-template-coolmart/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=category&virtuemart_manufacturer_id=16
Which is originally printed by this PHP line:
$ManufacturerLink = JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=category&virtuemart_manufacturer_id=' . $this->product->virtuemart_manufacturer_id . '');
PAY ATTENTION IT HAS
view=category instead of
view=manufacturer
List all the products from "Burberry" within the category browse page.
What you need is the last option, it should have
view=category so it will open the category browse page and it will list all products from the specific manufacturer based on the manufacturer ID.
Understand the idea and difference between
view=manufacturer and
view=category parameters?
So you can do any kind of customizations and link the manufacturer links to anywhere you want by following those ideas.
Regards.
