Manufacturer description on category page

[derek webster]

This one seems to work for me in VM 3.6.2

Code Select Expand

<?php
$app = JFactory::getApplication();
$virtuemart_manufacturer_id = $app->input->getCmd('virtuemart_manufacturer_id', '');
echo $virtuemart_manufacturer_id ;
 if (empty($this->keyword)) {
   echo $this->category->category_description ;
   //check to see if category is manufacturer --> this below is added
   $jinput = JFactory::getApplication()->input;
   $trigger= $virtuemart_manufacturer_id;
   $mid = $trigger;
   if (!empty($mid)) {
      $lang=&JFactory::getLanguage();
      $dba=JFactory::getDBO();
      $dba->setQuery("SELECT * FROM #__virtuemart_manufacturers_".str_replace("-","_",strtolower($lang->getTag()))." WHERE ".$trigger."=".$mid.";");
      $dba->query();
      $muresult=$dba->loadAssoc();
      $dbb = JFactory::getDBO();
      $dbb->setQuery("SELECT virtuemart_media_id FROM #__virtuemart_manufacturer_medias WHERE virtuemart_manufacturer_id=".$mid.";");
      $dbb->query();
      $media_id = $dbb->loadResult();
      $dbc = JFactory::getDBO();
      $dbc->setQuery("SELECT file_url FROM #__virtuemart_medias WHERE virtuemart_media_id=".$media_id.";");
      $dbc->query();
      $file_url = $dbc->loadResult();
   }
}
      
      if (!empty($file_url)) {
      ?>
         <img src="<? echo $file_url ?>" alt="<? echo $this->category->category_name ?>" align="right" style="margin:0 25px 0 25px">
      <?php 
      } 


echo $file_url;
echo "<h1>";


echo $this->category->category_name;
echo "</h1>";
      if(!empty($muresult['mf_desc'])) {
         echo $muresult['mf_desc'];
      }
