Hello,

i would like to ask you how can i show the manufacturer name and/ or image in the category page view, my template override has the following
<!-- Show Products -->
<?php
if (!empty(
$this->products)) {
$products = array();
$products[0] = $this->products;
echo shopFunctionsF::renderVmSubLayout($this->productsLayout,array('products'=>$products,'currency'=>$this->currency,'products_per_row'=>$this->perRow,'showRating'=>$this->showRating));

?>

and i cannot make any modification, can you please help me?

I cannot make any modification because it is not like the old virtuemart 2 there where everything was clear and with echo, now it takes everything with a single command as an array.

No. Templating is much more flexible now.  That code line calls a sublayout file to display the product. That file is 'products' - so you need to edit & override components/com_virtuemart/sublayouts/products.php

Add the code <?php echo $product->mf_name ?> wherever is suitable for your layout.

Hello,
<?php echo $product->mf_name ?> is great if you have only one manufacturer per product.

Is there a way to show all manufacturers on category page, if you have more than one manufacturer per product?

For product details this works:
<?php
// Manufacturer of the Product
if (VmConfig::get('show_manufacturers'1) && !empty($this->product->virtuemart_manufacturer_id)) {
    echo $this->loadTemplate('manufacturer');
?>

but how to do the same for a category page?

Override layout file - components/com_virtuemart/sublayouts/products.php in your template.

You can use the following codes to retrieve manufacturer thumbnail image within foreach ($products as $product) loop.


<?php if(!empty($product->virtuemart_manufacturer_id))
{
$model VmModel::getModel('manufacturer');

foreach($product->virtuemart_manufacturer_id as $manufacturer_id)
{
$model->setId($manufacturer_id);
$manufacturer $model->getManufacturer();
$model->addImages($manufacturer);

$thumbnail_image $manufacturer->images[0]->displayMediaThumb('class="mfg-thumbnail-image"'false);

echo $thumbnail_image;
}
?>

Thank you Jumbo!!!

your code works for images as is, but I wanted to show only name of manufacturers (mf_name) so I made a few changes to your code and it works great.

<?php 
if(!empty($product->virtuemart_manufacturer_id))
{
$model VmModel::getModel('manufacturer');
$mans = array();
foreach($product->virtuemart_manufacturer_id as $manufacturer_id)
{
$model->setId($manufacturer_id);
$manufacturer $model->getManufacturer();
$link JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=manufacturer&virtuemart_manufacturer_id=' $manufacturer_id);
$name $manufacturer->mf_name;
$mans[] = JHtml::_('link'$link$name);
}

} echo 
implode(', ',$mans);?>


thank you so much for your help and prompt reply!!

Good afternoon,

I used the following code inside the sublayouts \ products.php file:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<?php
               if(!empty($product->virtuemart_manufacturer_id))
{
   $model = VmModel::getModel('manufacturer');
   $mans = array();
   foreach($product->virtuemart_manufacturer_id as $manufacturer_id)
   {
      $model->setId($manufacturer_id);
      $manufacturer = $model->getManufacturer();
      $link = JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=manufacturer&virtuemart_manufacturer_id=' . $manufacturer_id);
      $name = $manufacturer->mf_name;
      $mans[] = JHtml::_('link', $link, $name);
   }
   
} echo implode(', ',$mans);?>
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

it works fine, but I can not show mf_name in the category \ default.php
Is it possible to insert it?

Joomla 3.8.7
Virtuemart 3.2.14

You can do same on checking the virtuemart_manufacturer_id in the input
$virtuemart_manufacturer_id = vRequest::getInt('virtuemart_manufacturer_id' ,0);
if($virtuemart_manufacturer_id)   {
$model = VmModel::getModel('manufacturer');
      $model->setId($manufacturer_id);
      $manufacturer = $model->getManufacturer();
      $link = JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=manufacturer&virtuemart_manufacturer_id=' . $manufacturer_id);
      $name = $manufacturer->mf_name;
      echo JHtml::_('link', $link, $name);
}

Of course, the manufacturer have to be filtered

Hi, this code works perfect for me, but is it possible to add and link for the manufacturer page with products when click over the logo image of the manufacturer?
