Add manufacturer name on block specials

[Blenderbox]

Hi everyone,

I’ve included the manufacturer name on product list this way:

<a class="product-name" href="{$product.link|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}" title="{$product.name|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}" itemprop="url" >
    <span class="brand">{$product.manufacturer_name}</span>
    {$product.name|truncate:45:'...'|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}
</a>

But now I can’t get the manufacturer name on block specials module. I’ve tried this on blockspecials.tpl:

<a class="product-name" href="{$special.link|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}" title="{$special.name|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}">
    <span class="brand">{$special.manufacturer_name}</span>
    {$special.name|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}
</a>

But is not working. It says ‘undefined index manufacturer_name’.

 

I’m using the default-bootstrap theme and the last version of prestashop.

 

Someone knows how to do that?

 

Thanks!

Use something like {$product|@print_r} in your tpl file and you will see all the valid names that you can use.

Thanks for your answer!

 

Now I see I can only get the id_manufacturer attribute.

 

Any tip of how can I get the manufacturer name from the id?

 

Thanks a lot!

If you have only a few manufacturers you could create your own array. But otherwise I don't have ideas that don't involve complicated changes in the source code. But there are other people around here with more expertise. Maybe they have an idea.

Sorry for the delay.

 

I did what you suggested and it works fine, although it would be nice to find a more permanent solution.

 

Hoping some other ideas!!

 

Thanks again!
