If we create a Virtuemart Link to Manufacturers page, this creates a link to all manufacturers, which when you click on a specific manufacturer, it takes you to the details page for that manufacturer, which is just logo and description - no products.

I want to go straight to manufacturer page with all the products associated with that manufacturer.

I have found the link for this and created some manual links, which takes me to the puremart theme page listing all the products for that manufacturer- nice!

but what i want is also the manufacturer description & logo if available to display abouve the products in the puremart manufacturer products page.

Is this a setting Ive missed somewhere or do we need to modify the manufacturer product details page?

If so what would I need to add?

Thanks in advance,
Andy

Hi Andy,

No - there's no code for this - the view is just a standard category view (templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/html/com_virtuemart/category/default.php) with a manufacturer filter applied (e.g. &virtuemart_manufacturer_id=5) - as per normal VM

You would need to detect this JRequest and do the appropriate sql or what ever to return the name, logo and desc in the head of the template.. around line 175 in the default template

Cheers

Add Manufacturer Description in Category 11 years 1 month ago #3684

Andy Connell

Ive done this now and if anyone is interested here the code that I placed in the category Template

Just after this code around line 180 - 190

<span class="FlexibleCategiryTitleSPAN"><?php echo JText::_('COM_VIRTUEMART_SEARCH') ?>: <?php echo $this->keyword; ?></span>
    </div>
<?php } ?>

Add this;

<?php
$jinput = JFactory::getApplication()->input;
 $trigger="virtuemart_manufacturer_id";
 $mid = $jinput->get->get($trigger);
 if (!empty($mid))
{
echo '<div class="manufacturer-description>';
   echo '<p>'.$this->products[0]->mf_desc.'</p>';
echo '</div>';
}
 
?>
