Displaying manufacturers image on product page

Hi all,

Looking to display the manufacturers logo on my product info page.

I've copied the following code into my tpl_product_info_display.php file, but it just brings up the default "No Picture Available" image.

<?php 
echo zen_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $manufacturer_info_sidebox->fields['manufacturers_image'], $manufacturer_info_sidebox->fields['manufacturers_name']);
?>

I've tried copying the image into the images directory, the images/manufacturers directory, tried various filenames but still no joy.

Help! :smile:

Probably need a bit more code to determine WHAT image to display - so it needs to know what PRODUCT by what MANUFACTURER is on display before it can find the image (as the PRODUCT is linked to the manufacturer).

Have you looked at:

includes/modules/sideboxes/manufacturer_info.php

Do you know what bits i'd need to include in my product_info_display.php file?

I know more about neurosurgery than I do about PHP - and I never went to medical school.

You'll need a php guru to help you here.

For displaying the manufacturer's image on the product_info page, try something like this:

<?php echo 'I see the manufacturers image: ' . zen_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES .  zen_get_products_manufacturers_image($product_info->fields['manufacturers_id'])); ?>

Hi Ajeh,

With that I get the text "I see the manufacturers image" displaying and also the No Picture Available placeholder. :(

Could it be that you have not yet associated the product with its manufacturer...?

Nope, all my products have a chosen Manufacturer.

I've uploaded the manufacturer image to the images directory and also the images/manufacturers but still nothing, can't understand why it's not picking it up.

Any other mods installed??? (possible conflicts in php code???)

Only the include/exclude tax but i'd tried doing the manufacturers logo bit before I installed that and still had the same problem.

I've switched the layout around a bit but not done anything special.

Seems to work fine in v1.3.8 ... :unsure:

Try an echo on:

<?php echo 'I see the manufacturers_id: ' . $product_info->fields['manufacturers_id']; ?>

That seems to pull through:

I see the manufacturers_id: 6

Tried this on a bog-standard install of 1.3.8a too, and I get same as RobM

What do you get if you echo this:

<?php echo 'I SEE: ' . zen_get_products_manufacturers_image($product_info->fields['manufacturers_id']); ?>

Hi Ajeh,

Get the following displaying:

I SEE

And on the ones where I have uploaded logos:

I SEE: manufacturers/bosch-logo.gif

Geeze louise ... can't you guys do what I mean and not what I say? :frusty:

Try using the right field ... silly me ... :blush:

<?php echo 'I see the : ' . zen_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES .  zen_get_products_manufacturers_image($product_info->fields['products_id'])); ?>

You could tell us to insert a chapter of a Noddy story and we'd go ahead and do it. :D

This is true ...

Fortunately ... it is all really a lesson for the lemmings ... did you try pressing this button over here? :lamo:

Fantastic! This is exactly what I was looking for during my visit to the forums today. Thank you.

But of course I have a question. By following Ajeh's last post and placing the code in tpl_product_info_display.php I am able to see the manufacturer's logo displayed on the product info page. However, we do not want to display a manufacturer logo for every product on our site. I thought this could be accomplished by selecting "none" from the manufacturer dropdown when adding products to the inventory. What happens instead is the "Manufactured by" does not display, but the "no image available" graphic does.

Here's the modified section of my template file:

<!--bof Product details list  -->
<?php if ( (($flag_show_product_info_model == 1 and $products_model != '') or ($flag_show_product_info_weight == 1 and $products_weight !=0) or ($flag_show_product_info_quantity == 1) or ($flag_show_product_info_manufacturer == 1 and !empty($manufacturers_name))) ) { ?>
<ul id="productDetailsList" class="floatingBox back">
  <?php echo (($flag_show_product_info_model == 1 and $products_model !='') ? '<li>' . TEXT_PRODUCT_MODEL . $products_model . '</li>' : '') . "\n"; ?>
  <?php echo (($flag_show_product_info_weight == 1 and $products_weight !=0) ? '<li>' . TEXT_PRODUCT_WEIGHT .  $products_weight . TEXT_PRODUCT_WEIGHT_UNIT . '</li>'  : '') . "\n"; ?>
  <?php echo (($flag_show_product_info_quantity == 1) ? '<li>' . $products_quantity . TEXT_PRODUCT_QUANTITY . '</li>'  : '') . "\n"; ?>
  <!-- original php code to display manufacturer name =^sg^=
  <?php echo (($flag_show_product_info_manufacturer == 1 and !empty($manufacturers_name)) ? '<li>' . TEXT_PRODUCT_MANUFACTURER . $manufacturers_name . '</li>' : '') . "\n"; ?> -->
  <!--bof modified php code to remove text of manufacturer name =^sg^= -->
  <?php echo (($flag_show_product_info_manufacturer == 1 and !empty($manufacturers_name)) ? '<li>' . TEXT_PRODUCT_MANUFACTURER . '</li>' : '') . "\n"; ?>
  <!--eof mmodified code -->
  <!--bof display manufacturer image on page =^sg^= -->
  <?php echo ' ' . zen_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES .  zen_get_products_manufacturers_image($product_info->fields['products_id'])); ?>
  <!--eof display-->
</ul>
<br class="clearBoth" />
<?php
  }
?>
<!--eof Product details list -->

Did I perhaps paste the code in the wrong part of the tpl_product_info_display.php file? Should the scrap of code that enables the display of the manufacturer image be somehow linked to the manufacturer dropdown option available when adding new products? That way, when a manufacturer of "none" is selected when adding a product, the code will not ask for a manufacturer image?
