Manufacturers ID...

[Alex Clarke]

Is it possible to find out the manufactures ID at product page level?

I would like to display the manufacturers name on the product page (which I have done), but I am also planning to link this to the manufacturers products on my site. Very similar to the Manufacturers sidebox.

Any ideas?

Ok, I've tried using $manufacturers_id in my php code and this doesn't work! Strange thing is that $manufacturers_name works fine!!

Any ideas?

Did you try:
$product_info->fields['manufacturers_id']

$manufacturers_name is a variable that has been set from: $product_info->fields['manufacturers_name']

as the variable is much easier to write and remember ...

The manufacturers_id does not have a variable of its own set at this time ... but it is still available by using the:
$product_info->fields['manufacturers_id']

Nice!

It worked. :)

As you can see I'll a little n00bish at php and sql stuff, but I'm sure learning.

Thanks for your help!
