How do I add two manufacturers to a product?

[enochian]

I am working on a site where you can book courses. I want to be able to search by location. Not sure if its possible but I noticed you can search by manufacturer. Since I don't need the manufacturers info I thought I could change the Manufacturers to Locations and use the manufacturers sidebox, which I can do by changing the language files from Manufacturer to say Locations then in admin I can add locations the same way as adding manufacturers.

The problem I have is sometimes I need to add two locations. For example I can go to admin and add the locations(using the same method as adding manufacturers) Say I add This Town and That Town. When I am adding a new product/Course I select This Town from the manufactuers drop down list and then in the product listing it says Manufactured by: This Town which I will change to say Location: This Town but sometimes I need to be able to select This Town and That Town and I want it to display something like Location: This Town, That Town

Then use the manufacturers sidebox to select and display all the courses in This Town or all the course in That Town. The results for This Town would include any course I added to This Town including the ones that are available for both.

I was thinking I could add a set of radio buttons in the admin page instead of the drop down list and be able to select two options.

Hope this makes sense.

I have tried to search the forum but can't find any help so if some one can point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Far as I know, you can't assign more than one manufacturer to a product. You (or someone) would have to write custom code to make that happen.
