HELP please! How do I add manufacturer to product_id or product name?

[mikeislearning]

Hello. I've been looking all over and I can't seem to find the answer:

I want to add the manufacturer to my products index listings on main page / new products page, etc. So it will say:
"Manufacturer name" - "Product_name"
instead of just the product name.

I'm looking in all the function files but none of them really stand out as being the answer. I searched for (int)$_GET['products_id'] and it pops in various locations.. but I'm not sure which one is right. I'm looking at the modules/new_products.php page but the functions pages are a little harder for me to decipher.

Have any of you done this? Or know how? I would immensely appreciate the help.

my site is http://www.5dollarcd.com
if you open it up, most of the products (all the ones without images) just show the product name/id.. (which I'm using for the "title" cuz it's all music)..
I changed "manufacturer" to "Artist" because I want people to be able to have all the functions zencart set for manufacturers but for artist (search, click and all manufacturers/artist pop up, etc.)

Can any of you lead me in the right direction? Please I'd appreciate it. Thanks

I think it has something to do with this section of the includes/modules/new_products.php file?

$list_box_contents[$row][$col] = array('params' => 'class="centerBoxContentsNew centeredContent back"' . ' ' . 'style="width:' . $col_width . '%;"',
'text' => (($new_products->fields['products_image'] == '' and PRODUCTS_IMAGE_NO_IMAGE_STATUS == 0) ? '' : '<a href="' . zen_href_link(zen_get_info_page($new_products->fields['products_id']), 'cPath=' . $productsInCategory[$new_products->fields['products_id']] . '&products_id=' . $new_products->fields['products_id']) . '">' . zen_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $new_products->fields['products_image'], $new_products->fields['products_name'], IMAGE_PRODUCT_NEW_WIDTH, IMAGE_PRODUCT_NEW_HEIGHT) . '</a><br />') . '<a href="' . zen_href_link(zen_get_info_page($new_products->fields['products_id']), 'cPath=' . $productsInCategory[$new_products->fields['products_id']] . '&products_id=' . $new_products->fields['products_id']) . '">' . $new_products->fields['products_name'] . '</a><br />' . $products_price);

There are just so many products_ids! and do I add just [manufacterer_id] or do I also add $the_manufacturers['manufacturers_name'] somewhere?

Help please...

That's not what I mean. I already have that set to 1.

That lists manufacturer on product page.

I want to list manufacturer on new products page. So it is in with the product title.

Thank you for the response, though I fear it's not as easy as that and I hope I'm explaining myself right.
