Hiding manufacturers_name in product_listing.php

I need to hide the manufacturers_name when a user is logged-in. I have found the code that controls this in: /includes/modules/product_listing.php - but I am not fluent enough in PHP to know how to hide the manufacturers_name when a user is logged-in. I used the code below to hide info in the template pages but it will not work on this modules page. Any and all help is much appreciated!

<?php if ($_SESSION['customer_id']) { // display this link for logged in user echo ''; } else { //display something else for user not logged in echo $listing->fields['manufacturers_name']; } ?>

To turn it off completely
admin > config > Product Listing > Display Product Manufacturer Name > set to "0"

Thanks for the reply Kobra!

I only want to "hide" it when a user is logged in. It should be displayed until then. Is there any PHP code than can do this?

Yes, but not as a download - you will have to check all the productlisting files and then hijack(copy) a session check for logged in from another file and apply it to just the function that displays the mfg name. and a good place to look to insert this might be the check for the admin switch of to display or not to display
