Manufacture's About contribution help
Hello,
I am using a contribution called Manufacture's About that enables the use of a description box for manufactures (I use it for Artist's bios) in the admin, and then set up a Manufacture's Page with an image and the aforementioned description. The template page also includes two links:
- to all products by such manufactures, and
- To a Manufacture's external URL page IF specified in the admin page.
Everything work for me except the links. The template somehow is not pulling in the SQL data from the Manufacture's table (created by the contribution). Here is the code of the template file:

<?php if (TEXT_INFORMATION) { ?>

<?php } ?>
<tr>
<td class="main" colspan="2"><br /><?php echo zen_back_link() . zen_image_button(BUTTON_IMAGE_BACK, BUTTON_BACK_ALT) . '</a>'; ?></td>

</table>
The query should come from the extra_functions file. This is it:

// $Id: functions_manufacturers_about.php v1.2.3.0 2005-01-04 langer $

function zen_get_manufacturers_about($manufacturers_about_id, $language = '') {
global $db;
// $manufacturers_about = array();
if (empty($language)) $language = $_SESSION['languages_id'];
$manufacturers_about_query = "select m.manufacturers_name, m.manufacturers_image,
mi.manufacturers_url, mi.manufacturers_about
from " . TABLE_MANUFACTURERS . " m
left join " . TABLE_MANUFACTURERS_INFO . " mi
on (m.manufacturers_id = mi.manufacturers_id
and mi.languages_id = '" . (int)$language . "')
where m.manufacturers_id = '" . (int)$manufacturers_about_id . "'";
$manufacturers_about= $db->Execute($manufacturers_about_query);
// echo $manufacturers_about->fields['manufacturers_name'];
return $manufacturers_about;
}
?>
But somehow, the links are not working. They are missing the ID:
<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT, 'manufacturers_id=' . $manufacturers_about_id) . '">
Can anyone give me hint on how to to create a query to make sure that the field ID from table manufacturers_about is actually pass through to the template file?
I am not a programmer, but I use common sense and I am patient.
Thanks for your help.
