[solved] How to get manufacturer link in php modul

[xezus]

Hi

 

I need to add to my modul link to manufacturer page

I have part of html which I am sending to html output like this

 

<span>$manufacturer</span>

 

but I need to make it click able. Like this

 

<span><a href="How can i get path of manufacturer in php modul">$manufacturer</a></span>

How could I do this?

I will be glad for any answers.

whast PS version?

 

 

public function getManufacturerLink($manufacturer, $alias = null, $id_lang = null)

@param mixed $manufacturer Manufacturer object (can be an ID supplier, but deprecated)
 * @param string $alias
 * @param int $id_lang
 * @return string

 

which mean that you can use {$link->getManufacturerLink()} function

try with code that i pasted above, and below:

 

 

{$link->getManufacturerLink($id_of_manufacturer)}

[xezus]

When I tried this. I got this path

 

http://localhost/prestashop/%7B$link-%3EgetManufacturerLink(1)%7D

 

and this message

 

You do not have the right to access the requested object. Either it is protected against reading, or the server is not readable.

the module is default blocktopmenu.php

[vekia]

can you paste code that you use in .tpl file to achieve what you want?

i think that the problem is there

[xezus]

I don't use tpl file. I send this code directly from the php module

 

this is maybe better

 

$this->_menu .= '<span class="manufacturer"><a href="{$link->getManufacturerLink('.$manufacturer_id.')} ">'.$manufacturer_name.'</a></span>';

 

 

and than in hook fucntion

 

$this->smarty->assign('MENU', $this->_menu);

[vekia]

so that is the main problem

if you use it in php use this:

$this->_menu .= '<span class="manufacturer"><a href="'.$link->getManufacturerLink('.$manufacturer_id.').'">'.$manufacturer_name.'</a></span>';

[xezus]

I tried this before but I got

 

 

Notice: Undefined variable: link in C:\xampp\htdocs\prestashop\modules\blocktopmenu\blocktopmenu.php on line 720

 

Fatal error: Call to a member function getManufacturerLink() on a non-object in C:\xampp\htdocs\prestashop\modules\blocktopmenu\blocktopmenu.php on line 720

 

 

I want to call it insite private function getCategory

[vekia]

so you haven't got defined $link variable there. try with

$link = new Link();

before you use $link.

 

or instead

$link->getManufacturerLink('.$manufacturer_id.')

 

use the:

$this->context->link->getManufacturerLink('.$manufacturer_id.')

[xezus]

Yes, it works. Thank you a lot!

[vekia]

you're welcome

 

im going to mark this thread as [solved]
