How to display multiple supplies on product page

[Okko]

I'm newbie at Prestashop

 

I have product Blouse from manufacturer (brand) Zara with 2 suppliers: Distributor 1 and Distributor 2

 

How to display all suppliers on product page?

 

Like:

 

Blouse

Supplier: - Distributor 1

               - Distributor 2

 

I'm using Prestashop 1.6.0.6

 

thanks a lot for your help

prestashop doesnt allow to associate more than 1 manufacturer with product.

you can achieve it only with modifications of core (and database) 

or with some module to display custom contents on product pages.

thanks Vekia..

 

I mean supplier not manufacturer...

In my case, manufacturer: Zara, supplier: Distributor 1 and Distributor 2

 

at BO we can add more than 1 supplier for product

Hi Okko,

 

You do have interesting point. Already Presta support multiple suppliers for each product along with their own prices.

I'm also searching for a way to display all suppliers on a product page to let customer choose any of supplier to buy from.

 

Did you got success in this? Please share the solution to it.

 

@vekia

Sir please look into it as you know it can help us use Presta in many ways.

 

Thanks

You can't do this by default, as it's like a multiple seller option. You can only use suppliers to define your purchase price, to check your real income on a product's sale

ok. I thought we could use it that way..

wait..

'You can't do this by default'   that's all I wanted, a direction

Hello, 

I wanna share with you the solution i use for list all suppliers : 

 

in file

/override/controllers/front/ProductController.php

something like : 

class ProductController extends ProductControllerCore
{
	public function initContent()
	{
		parent::initContent();
                foreach (ProductSupplier::getSupplierCollection($this->product->id, true)->getResults() as $productSupplier) {
                   $suppliers[] = new Supplier($productSupplier->id_supplier, $this->context->language->id);
                }
                $this->context->smarty->assign('suppliers' , $suppliers );
	}
	
}

in product.tpl in my theme directory : 

<p id="supplier">
    <label for="product_supplier">{l s='Les mamies qui tricotent cet article :'} </label>
    <span class="editable">
        {if isset($suppliers)}
            {foreach from=$suppliers item='supplier' name='supplier_list'}
                {if {$supplier->id_supplier} !=0}
                    <a   href="{$link->getsupplierLink($supplier->id_supplier, $supplier->link_rewrite)|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}" 
                         title="{l s='More about' mod='blocksupplier'} {$supplier->name}">
                        <img src="{$img_ps_dir}/su/{$supplier->id_supplier}-small_default.jpg" alt="{l s='une image de '} {$supplier->name}" />
                    </a>
                {/if}
            {/foreach}
        {/if}
    </span>
</p>

This work and it's not too crappy

 

But i wonder, is it better to create a module rather than override core class like this ?

Especially if you want to distribute a theme ! i'm not sure but it's seems impossible to distribute an override in theme without a module. isn't it ?

Or maybe there is an easier way adding a smarty variable ?

[NemoPS]

Well, depending on how many suppliers you have, creating a new instance of the class for each of them might take down performance a bit. Why not, instead, using a module, as you mentioned, that

 

1- retrieves only necessary data for supplies and assigns it to an available hook

2- use that very same hook to show the table in the product page?

 

If not the second, you could add a further custom hook, that only involves writing a small snippet, and use that in the position you prefer, instead

 

Lastly, I believe product has both id_supplier and supplier_name assigned as variables to the object, so it would only be missing link_rewrite (which is in any case optional to grab the link)
