Hi everyone,

When someone clicks on a certain product, it shows Manufacturer with a link to the manufacturer page. I would like to hide manufacturer or take it off the product page. Under configuration on VM, I have unclicked Show Manufacturer in the Templates tab. Would appreciate any help.

Site example which shows "Manufacturer: SL"              http://goo.gl/bViOi
Thank you.

my Joomla Version: 2.57
VM2 version: 2.0.12f
Template used: Colorshop by Linelab.

regards,
arvind

Hello,

You could edit your custom template or override it and comment that line that print outs the manufacturer. The easiest way is yo hide it by override vm css:

.productdetails-view .manufacturer {
display:none;
}

easy...

Use firebug to examine you site code and css styling: http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=102850.0

Hi bytelord,

Thank you very much for your help and thank you for your recommendation of Firebug. It does indeed assist a whole lot with css.
