[SOLVED] Manufacturer link

[vikezz]

Hi virtuemart gurus,

Would this be possible:

When pressing the manufacturer link on a flypage, instead of open up a popup, it goes directly to the URL, that are provided in the virtuemart backend? That would be awesome

Thanks for your help

Best regards,
Vikezz

I've got it!! luckily this thread had something similar:
http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=21089.msg151631#msg151631

just changed it a little bit:

Code: [Select]

  $manufacturer_id = $ps_product->get_manufacturer_id($product_id); 
  $q  = "SELECT mf_url FROM #__{vm}_manufacturer WHERE "; //bzz
  $q .= "manufacturer_id=$manufacturer_id"; //bzz
  $db->query($q); //bzz
  $db->next_record(); //bzz
  $mf_url = $db->f("mf_url");   //bzz
 
  $manufacturer_name = $ps_product->get_mf_name($product_id);
  $manufacturer_link = "";
  if( $manufacturer_id && !empty($manufacturer_name) ) {
    $link = $mf_url;  //bzz
$text = $manufacturer_name;  //bzz
    $manufacturer_link .= "<a href=".$link.">".$text."</a>";  //bzz

Have fun

Which page do you edit to complete this? Also..the manufacturer link currently opens into a popup window, which is not template specific. Does this adjustment address the index.php VS index2.php that is in pop up link?

Just open your shop.product_details.php file..

if you add the above example,you will not have a popup, it will just open up the link.

Hello,

I am trying to change the manufacturer link in the flypage.tpl.php to open directly the manufacturer page instead of the the virtuemart popup.

I've read the post but did not found the "shop.product_details.php" page in the whole virtuemart folder.

Can you help please!

I edited it but now it pastes the link of the manufacturer directly after my own site, that way the link is incorrect and isnt showing.

Any way to correct this?

Never mind, I fixed it by adding http:// to the manufacturer website (before it started directly with www. )

New problem : How can I let the link pop up in a new screen instead of the existing screen?
