How to stop displaying certain manufacture name not to appear under Manufacture list in front page.

[sudhakarm1]

Hi,

 

I would like certain manufactures name not be displayed in under the Manufacture block, since those are low priority. Can anyone help how we can stop showing certain manufactures name under the Brand Name.

 

regards,

Sudhakar

Well not using a setting so to speak, but if you tweak your template this can easily be achieved

 

1/ Duplicate the /modules/blockmanufacturer/blockmanufacturer.tpl in themes/<your-theme>/modules/blockmanufacturer/blockmanufacturer.tpl. Create the directories.

 

2/ Edit your tpl as follow. You'll find some code like this one:

<ul class="bullet">
{foreach from=$manufacturers item=manufacturer name=manufacturer_list}
 {if $smarty.foreach.manufacturer_list.iteration <= $text_list_nb}
 <li class="{if $smarty.foreach.manufacturer_list.last}last_item{elseif $smarty.foreach.manufacturer_list.first}first_item{else}item{/if}"><a href="{$link->getmanufacturerLink($manufacturer.id_manufacturer, $manufacturer.link_rewrite)}" title="{l s='More about' mod='blockmanufacturer'} {$manufacturer.name}">{$manufacturer.name|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}</a></li>
 {/if}
{/foreach}
</ul>

Replace it so it match that:

<ul class="bullet">
{foreach from=$manufacturers item=manufacturer name=manufacturer_list}
{if !in_array($manufacturer.id_manufacturer,[ 1, 2 ])}
 {if $smarty.foreach.manufacturer_list.iteration <= $text_list_nb}
 <li class="{if $smarty.foreach.manufacturer_list.last}last_item{elseif $smarty.foreach.manufacturer_list.first}first_item{else}item{/if}"><a href="{$link->getmanufacturerLink($manufacturer.id_manufacturer, $manufacturer.link_rewrite)}" title="{l s='More about' mod='blockmanufacturer'} {$manufacturer.name}">{$manufacturer.name|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}</a></li>
 {/if}
{/if}
{/foreach}
</ul>

Proceed the same for the foreach for the drop-down

{foreach from=$manufacturers item=manufacturer}
{if !in_array($manufacturer.id_manufacturer,[ 1, 2 ])}
 <option value="{$link->getmanufacturerLink($manufacturer.id_manufacturer, $manufacturer.link_rewrite)}">{$manufacturer.name|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}</option>
{/if}
{/foreach}

 

3/ Clear your smarty cache (delete all files in /tools/smarty/compile/ but the index.php)

 

Enjoy.

 

PS: This does not prevent the manufacturer from the list of manufacturer (page: manufacturer.php)
