Group the brands by categories.

[PAVON]

Hello, good afternoon

I would like, if possible, to group the brands by categories.

Example:

Modeling marks.

Brand A - Brand B

hardware brands

Brand C - Brand D

Craft Brands

Mark E - Mark F

We use Prestashop 1.7.8.8

Our website www.pavononline.com

Thanks and good year

You can get the manufacture data like manufacture name and image from the below code
 

function getManufacturers($id_category)
{
   global $cookie;

   $manufacturers = array();
   $category = new Category($id_category);
   $products = $category->getProducts(intval($cookie->id_lang), 1, 1000000);

   if ($products)
       foreach ($products as $product)
       {
           $manufacturers['object'][$product['id_manufacturer']] = new Manufacturer(intval($product['id_manufacturer']), intval($cookie->id_lang));
           $manufacturers['image'][$product['id_manufacturer']] = (!file_exists(_PS_MANU_IMG_DIR_.'/'.$product['id_manufacturer'].'-medium.jpg')) ? 
   Language::getIsoById(intval($cookie->id_lang)).'-default' :    $product['id_manufacturer'];
       }

   $subcategories = $category->getSubcategories(intval($cookie->id_lang));

   if ($subcategories)
       foreach ($subcategories as $subcategory)
           $manufacturers = array_merge($manufacturers, getManufacturers($subcategory['id_category']));

   return $manufacturers;
}



$manufacturer_fields = getManufacturers($category->id_category);
$manufacturers = $manufacturer_fields['object'];
$manufacturer_images = $manufacturer_fields['image'];

Assign the same variable to the TPL and use as per your needs.

Just make brands features then you can include in your  filter system

 

note your shop product list uses nav followed by filters, I highly recommend using filters only....it's important they are able to drill down to product(s) on current page and not nav way as you  do now.

 

Avoid trying to make 'brands' act like categories, brands are better defined as prod feature or cat/subcat.

let us know how it  goes, I recommend amazzing  filters from addons, it's expensive but probably the best module you will ever invest in.

if you are talking about applying the hack then sorry you ignored my expert advice.

you do better using filters...then brands are on product list...not some brands page...

I've given best advice, good luck
