Manufacturer on Product Page no Popup but Link to Manufacturer Details Page

[kontakt@berghausener82.de]

Normally the manufacturer link on the product details page opens a pop up window with the manufacturer details. What I want to realize is: This should link to the manufacturer details page (and the prodcuts of this manufacturer) as it is done by the manufacturer modul.
How can I do this?

This is something I want to know as well.

Anybody know how to solve this? In VM3? Thanks.

Hi,

you have to modify the default_manufacturer.php file in productdetails view folder.

First replace this :

Code Select Expand

$link = JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=manufacturer&virtuemart_manufacturer_id=' . $manufacturers_details->virtuemart_manufacturer_id. '&tmpl=component', FALSE); 

with this :

Code Select Expand

$link =  JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=category&virtuemart_manufacturer_id=' . $manufacturers_details->virtuemart_manufacturer_id, FALSE);

and then remove the "manuModal" class from

Code Select Expand

$mans[] = '<a class="manuModal" rel="{handler: \'iframe\', size: {x: 700, y: 850}}" href="'.$link .'">'.$name.'</a>';

so it wont trigger the pop up.
