[Solved] how do I insert the suppliers name into the product list tpl

[cerberus22]

Hi all,
how do I insert the suppliers name into the product list tpl ?

I can insert the manufacturers name like this :

{$product.manufacturer_name|truncate:35|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}

But how can I insert "suppliers" name as well ?
Doing this does not work :

{$product.supplier_name|truncate:35|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}

can anybody help ?

All the best,
Cerberus22


UPDATE : this works :

{$manufacturer.name|truncate:60|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}

Pardon my ignorance, but where exactly within the product list tpl should this line of code go?
I mean, where and within which code tags should I use to place the manufacturer's name before Add to Cart button, for example. And what if we wanted the name displayed as a link to list all items from the same manufacturer?

Thanks in advance! This should have been a default option in products' administration, btw...

Hi Nakano,

Add the following after line 19 of product-list.tpl in your theme directory (after the line that starts with ):

{$product.manufacturer_name|truncate:60|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}

Then add the following line to /* product-list.tpl */ section of css/global.css in your theme directory:

ul#product_list li span.manufacturer { display: block; }

This will add a link to other products with the same manufacturer just above the Add to Cart button in product listings.

Hi Rocky! Thanks a lot! It really helped to get something done, yes! So what was missing was a hack in the css file (dumb me! >_<).
But then I noticed something really stupid from my post. Having the manufacturer's name listed in products list is nice, but what I wanted was this info displayed in product page itself.
Taking in account the suggestions from both you and cerberus22 and this post, I managed to add the following code around line 234 of product.tpl, right before <!-- quantity wanted -->:

{l s='Manufacturer:'} {$product_manufacturer->name|truncate:60|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}

Not sure how much having |truncate:60|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8' really matters, but it ended up looking as I wished for.

For the name to support a url link to all products from the same manufacturer, I did this (formated for easier reading here):

<!-- manufacturer name -->


{l s='Manufacturer:'}

id_manufacturer}">
        {$product_manufacturer->name|truncate:60|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}

It works! Please comment.
