VirtueMart Forum

Normally the manufacturer link on the product details page opens a pop up window with the manufacturer details. What I want to realize is: This should link to the manufacturer details page (and the prodcuts of this manufacturer) as it is done by the manufacturer modul.
How can I do this?

This is something I want to know as well.

Anybody know how to solve this? In VM3? Thanks.

Joomla version, 3.4.5.  VirtueMart 3.0.10

Hi,

you have to modify the default_manufacturer.php file in productdetails view folder.

First replace this :

$link = JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=manufacturer&virtuemart_manufacturer_id=' . $manufacturers_details->virtuemart_manufacturer_id. '&tmpl=component', FALSE); 

with this :

$link =  JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=category&virtuemart_manufacturer_id=' . $manufacturers_details->virtuemart_manufacturer_id, FALSE);

and then remove the "manuModal" class from

$mans[] = '<a class="manuModal" rel="{handler: \'iframe\', size: {x: 700, y: 850}}" href="'.$link .'">'.$name.'</a>';

so it wont trigger the pop up.

Thank you very much Spyros, it worked!

Hello Spyros...I try your method but not working for me...I  have Joomla 3.7.4 and VirtueMart 3.2.1.

Any other solution or an update?

Thanks for your help.
