Title: How to display the Manfucturer's name in the Category layout?
Post by: fredmeister on May 22, 2015, 00:55:39 AM
Hi,

I am new to VirtueMart.

I would like the manufacturer name to be displayed for each product displayed in category layout.

I am using VirtueMart v3.0.6.2

Can anyone please help me?

Thank you

Something like  <?php echo $product->manufacturer; ?>

And please update VM.  http://virtuemart.net/news/latest-news/469-security-release-vm3-0-8

Thank you for the prompt reply.

Please excuse my ignorance, but where should I be adding that code?  I've tried in a few places and kept getting a white page, so I reverted back to the original state.

And, indeed, I will proceed with an update :)

Thanks again.

As I said the code will be something like I posted but I have not tested it.  It will need to go in the file components/com_virtuemart/sublayouts/products.php, but between relevant html tags. A WSOD suggests you were pasting within PHP tags.
