Display manufacturer in the product listing

[bwaje]

I know this was a hack for PS 1.5, but anybody knows how to display the manufacturer information  in the product listing  with 1.6 ?

Found the solution for this issue:

 

1. On your FTP server, open ROOT/Themes/YourTheme directory.
2. Open the product.tpl file and scroll down to rougly line 163.
3. Find code that is similar to this:
   
    

   <p id="product_reference"{if empty($product->reference) || !$product->reference} style="display: none;"{/if}>

   <label>{l s='Model'} </label>

   <span class="editable" itemprop="sku">{if !isset($groups)}{$product->reference|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}{/if}</span>

   </p>
4. Right below it simply enter the following:
   <p id="manufacturer" {if !$product_manufacturer->name}style="display: none;"{/if}>

   <label>{l s='Manufacturer:'} </label>

   <a href="{$link->getManufacturerLink($product_manufacturer->id_manufacturer, $product_manufacturer->link_rewrite)|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}"><span>{$product->manufacturer_name|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}</span></a>

   </p>
5. Save any changes that you make and Delete Cache in BackOffice.

it's a product page (product.tpl)

author of this topic asked about produt listing it mean: product-list.tpl file

[isotrope]

If anyone does have the solution for this, it would be greatly appreciated. I am listing book titles and the author is pretty important. I need the author (manufacturer) displayed in the list too (which is now a list and not a grid).

[vekia]

you're asking about product-list.tpl category page or about product.tpl (product page)

[Alesana]

It works fine for product page but anyone can help me with product-list.tpl please?

[vekia]

Put the following in product-list.tpl to display the manufacturer name:

{$product.manufacturer_name}

[Alesana]

Thanks for your help! One more thing. How can I transform this into a link to browse product by manufacturer? =)

{$link->getManufacturerLink($product.id_manufacturer, $product.id_manufacturer->link_rewrite)|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}

Hi All, i've a different but important problem.

I've a bookstore and use Suppliers as Authors. The site works and with your help i get in product page the name of Authors under the title of book.

The problem is with search because if i search for an author i cannot get result.

There is a way to make this work?

 

I see that prestashop searches also in description, so i could theorically add the author/s in every description (duplicating the suppliers entry) at the end. But how can i do that?

We have over 8.000 products.

 

Thank you

preferences > search

increase weight of the manufacturer

then rebuild index (on the same page there is an option to rebuil search index)

[Chicco]

The problem is that i need this about the supplier and not manufacturer... is the same?
