Question regarding $manufacturers_id in tpl_product_info_display.php

[shirster]

Hi everyone,

In my previous shopping cart (1.3.8) I was able to use these codes in tpl_product_info_display.php to turn the manufacturer name into a link, but now that I'm using 1.5.1 the codes no longer work... It correctly turns into a link but there is nothing at the end of "index.php?main_page=index&manufacturers_id=", which means when I click on the link it redirects me to the homepage.

I'm not familiar with php so if anyone could help me out that would be greatly appreciated... thanks in advance!

<?php echo '<li>' . TEXT_PRODUCT_MANUFACTURER . '<a class="manufacturerlink" href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT, 'manufacturers_id=' . $manufacturers_id) . '" title="' . $manufacturers_name . '">' . $manufacturers_name . "</a></li>\n"; ?>

Keywords: manufacturer link, clickable manufacturer name, manufacturer id

Chances are your old site had made changes to the files in /includes/modules/pages/product_info/ and added code in there to retrieve the mfg value and put it into a variable named $manufacturers_id so that it could be output in your template.
You'll need to re-do that.

Thank you, Dr. Byte sensei! I added this line in /includes/modules/pages/product_info/main_template_vars.php and it worked like a charm!

$manufacturers_id= zen_get_products_manufacturers_id((int)$_GET['products_id']);
