Manufacture link

[jezjones29]

For the site I'm working on I needed each designer (manufacturer) to have their own page so I created a hidden category and placed each designer in there.
So now my tree looks like this:

Other (hidden/not active) > Designers (second level/active but not shown in tree) > Designer > Designers items.

Now I can copy products to each category and keep things tidy.

Anyway, my question is this:

How can I make the manufacture link (next to the image in the product description) a link to their category page (blue level above)?

e.g. /index.php?main_page=index&cPath=4_5

I hope this makes sence

<a href="http://www.your_domain.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=4_5">Your_desc</a>

This code will create the link and a name for it, place it where you want it to appear

Thank you Kobra for your reply, but now I need to make that link dynamic by calling the database.

At the moment it works via simple IF statements, but this isn't the solution I need in the long run.

This is what I have at the moment:

  
<?php
if($flag_show_product_info_manufacturer == 1 and !empty($manufacturers_name)){

if ($manufacturers_name == 'XXXX'){$manNo = '_5';}
  elseif ($manufacturers_name == 'YYYYY'){$manNo = '_6';}
 
   $manufacturers_name = '<a href="index.php?main_page=index&cPath=4'.$manNo.'">'.$manufacturers_name.'</a>';
   echo '<li>'.TEXT_PRODUCT_MANUFACTURER .''. $manufacturers_name . '</li>';
   }   
   ?>

You appear to be using the "manufacturers" native support.

In the product page for this "designer" at the bottom their is a link to manufacturers url or similar.

Place the internal link to their page in this box. Will this not produce the desired result?

nice idea, but I'm using that link.

[kobra]

Well you can clone all the entries in the files for it with your name and add a DB record.

[jezjones29]

I guess what I need is a script that will take the products_id and tell me the relevent manufacturer's catagory page.

What would the code for this be?

nice idea, but I'm using that link.

This is the code that does this but you say that you are using it???? So I suggested that you you clone that same code and assign it a different name
