Manufacturer Image in Category display

[Darko F.]

Hi all
I need some advice here, I try to add manufacturer picture in /category/myowerride.php

This is default code add description fine

Code Select Expand

<?php }
if(!empty($this->manu_descr)) {
?>
        <div class="manufacturer-description">
<?php echo $this->manu_descr; ?>
        </div>
<?php }
}
So I try to add image  with:

Code Select Expand

<?php // Manufacturer Image
if (!empty($this->manufacturerImage)) { ?>
<div class="manufacturer-image">
<?php echo $manufacturerImage;?>
</div>
<?php } ?>

Unfortunately it didn't work. Can anyone advice some solution?

I just see that the category view loads only the name, not more.

The code in the view.html.php is currently just

Code Select Expand

$metaObj = VmModel::getModel('manufacturer')->getManufacturer($this->virtuemart_manufacturer_id);
$this->manufacturer = $metaObj;

I replace it against

Code Select Expand

$metaObj = VmModel::getModel('manufacturer')->getManufacturer($this->virtuemart_manufacturer_id);
$this->manufacturer = $metaObj;
$categoryModel->addImages($this->manufacturer,$catImgAmount);
$this->manu_descr = $metaObj->mf_desc;

so with the new core, you can then display it with

Code Select Expand

echo $this->manufacturer->images[0]->displayMediaThumb('', false);
or so

Great.
Thank you I can confirm is worked.
Will these core changes be added in future updates or I need to make override?
