Show Manufacturers information on "productdetails page"

[tobisagt]

Hi there,

i've made some tabs to switch between "description, reviews and manufactures information". But how to display the last one?

And the second: Is it possible to show one or more products of the manufacture without click on "show all products of..." button in the lightbox?

Thanks

Does noone know if that is possible?

@tobsagt:

#1: Open /components/com_virtuemart/views/productdetails/tmpl/default.php

Find this code:

Code Select Expand

if(VmConfig::get('show_manufacturers', 1) && !empty($this->product->virtuemart_manufacturer_id)) { ?>

Move its view section to any place (in the file) you refer to

#2: Hack to the view of manufacture, you can find all at /views/manufacturer

But in top of the answers, I think you should take a time on understanding what M-V-C of Joomla do. Then it is very very easy for you to do any custom on VM

Thanks for your post.

Thats what i lovley want to do, but i dont have the time yet, to set my focus on that.

I found the code, but this is just to open manufacturers into a lightbox?!

What i want is not to open it. I want the manufacturers properties right in the product detail page.

[tobisagt]

ok.

What i get to work is:

Manufacturer Name:

$this->product->mf_name

Manufacturer Description:

$this->product->mf_desc

But Manufacturer Image wont work. Anyone can help?

it tried this:

$this->product->manufacturerImage
$this->manufacturerImage

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



P/S: A VM 2.0.0 tiny bug
if (!empty($manufacturerImage)) { ?>

Thx for bugfix! It works now in the lightbox. But still cant get it to work right in the product details. 

Everything was easy:

In manufacturer it looks like:
<?php echo $this->manufacturer->mf_desc ?>

and in the product details:
<?php echo $this->product->mf_desc ?>

But manufacturerImage is different!
It looks:
<?php echo $this->manufacturerImage; ?>

I need the code to show the image right in the product details, not the lightbox. Any ideas?

[tobisagt]

is there no way to show to "manufacturer image" in the product details?

Noone knows? 

[PRO]

on product page $this->    MEANS the product


on category page $this-> MEANS the current category

ON manufacturer page $this-> means current manufacturer

SO, if you notice on the category page, when calling specific product variables it uses
$product->product_name

then on product page $this->product_name


So, now you know what you can play around with to get the images
this will never work on the product page
<?php echo $this->manufacturerImage; ?>

[tobisagt]

thx for your reply!

So, pls tell me how it should looks like...

$manufacturer->manufacturerImage; and
$manufacturerImage;

also dont work.

I dont know, because Im not gonna take the time to try it, BUT will point out how this works

(current object)      (what you are looking for)
       $this->          product->mf_desc

[tobisagt]
