[Solved] List Manufacturers Under Category Page. Ps1.5+

[Marianosc]

Hi,

 

I am trying to do exactly what was achieved in the thread below, except it was done pre-PS1.5 many moons ago:

 

http://www.prestasho...-category-page/

 

Basically I want to add a list of manufactures within that specific category and its subcategories so that it can be filtered on. This is when looking at the product-list view.

 

I follow and understand what was achieved in the tread but am struggling to adapt it to PS1.5+ structure.

 

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

 

Cheers,

 

Mariano.

Hi, I'm looking for exactly the same.

 

Anybody may help please? Thank you in advance ))

Well I figured it out.

 

Needed to to create a Category Contoller Override

 

Then in the "class CategoryController extends CategoryControllerCore"

 

Copy the original "assignProductListModify" from CategoryController.php and at the end of the funtion "public function assignProductList()" you need to modify it to the following:

 

$this->manufacturers = array();

if ($this->cat_products)
 foreach ($this->cat_products as &$product) {
	   $this->manufacturers[$product['id_manufacturer']] = new Manufacturer(intval($product['id_manufacturer']), $this->context->language->id);
 }
 $this->context->smarty->assign(array(
	   'nb_products', $this->nbProducts,
	   'manufacturers' => $this->manufacturers,
 ));

 

Hope that helps anyone else looking to do the same.

 

Cheers,

Got this working so far (I have data in the manufacturer array), but how do I add the dropdown to filter by these manufacturers in the product-list?

[Marianosc]

Nookyx,

 

In my case I was populating the product-list.tpl with a list of checkboxes of manufactures instead of a dropdown list. Below is my code which you should be able to modify to a dropdown list instead:

 

	  {if $manufacturers|@count >1}
		  <li> <strong>Manufactures</strong>
		  <ul id="filter_manufactures">
			    {if isset($manufacturers)}

			  <!-- Manufacturers -->
				  {foreach from=$manufacturers item=manufacturer}
						  <li>
							  <input type='checkbox' class='filterCheckbox filterCheckboxManufactures' id='Filter-{$manufacturer->name|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}' name='Filter-{$manufacturer->name|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}' value='{$manufacturer->name|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}' />
							  {$manufacturer->name|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}
						  </li>   
				  {/foreach}
			  {/if}
		    </ul>
		  </li>
	    {/if}

 

Cheers,

thanks so far, I've been able to list them in a dropdown. But how does the actual filtering occur? I guess I need to override some functions, but which ones, where and how? I'm stuck here atm

Hi

 

I need the same thing, i like to list the manufacturer under categories so i can use filter navigation block on manufacturer.

But is not clear how to implement it, can you explain in a more simple way ?

 

Thanks,

[faDdy]

Does anyone know how to do this on Prestashop 1.4.8.2 ?

 

Thank you.

I need same thing, Manufactures (brands) under category, showing brands icons available in that category. Please assist. 

[benzenewings]

I saw you had a breakthrough getting the manufacturers listed on categories for 1.5. I am trying to use your code on 1.6 and perhaps missing a step. I added the override on categorycontroller and added the call in productslist.tpl. . .is there anywhere else I need to edit? Best I get on the front page is.. Undefined index: manufacturers in tools/smarty/sysplugins/smarty_internal_templatebase.php(171) : eval()'d code on line 53  

Maybe I have the override added wrong? Any help is greatly appreciated.
