How to show manufacturer (brand) on product listing table ?

Example

Product Name Product Code {Manufacturer} Vote Price [Add to Cart]

Yes i have added the column and header in the listing_table view
I took this code from another thread because i do not know how to display the manufacturer url.
I see nowhere in your document where this is described ""How to show manufacturer url on listing_table""

I try this but does not work
<td>
<?php echo JText :: sprintf('MANUFACTURER_URL', '<a href="' . $this->element->product_url . '" target="_blank">' . $this->element->product_url . '</a>');?>
</td>

It only display words ""Brand Url: ""

How do show the manufacturer in each row on product listing_table ?

Thanks in advance

Hello,
Using that code through the file "listing_img_title" of the view "product" of your front-end template via "Hikashop->Display->Views" will probably help you :

<?php
$manufacturerClass = hikashop_get('class.category');
$manufacturer = $manufacturerClass->get($this->row->product_manufacturer_id);
echo $manufacturer->category_name; 
?>

<?php
$manufacturerClass = hikashop_get('class.category');
$manufacturer = $manufacturerClass->get($this->row->product_manufacturer_id);
echo $manufacturer->category_description;
?>


This does not return manufacturer on Products Listing_Table either ....

Hi,

Are you sure that you are editing the view in the correct template ?
Please try: echo $manufacturer->category_name; instead of echo $manufacturer->category_description;

That was the solution.
I was so tired I didn't even realize that I was calling the wrong column(description)
Thank you so much for the extra attention and noticing the little details. It saved my day

Thanks again

Hello
I add this code and it works.
How can we add link to manufacture name?

<?php if ($this->config->get('show_code')) { $columns++;?>
<th class="hikashop_product_code_title" align="center">
<?php echo "Manufacturer"; ?>
</th>


Worked for me

Where do you exactly want your customer to be redirected by using this link ?

Then you'll have to use a link like :

$manufacturer_url = HIKASHOP_LIVE.'index.php?option=com_hikashop&ctrl=category&task=listing&cid='.$manufacturer_id.'&name='.$manufacturer->category_name.'&Itemid=MANUFACTURER _LISTING_ID'

I couldn't get the provided code to dd a link to the brands listing to work .
I have created the following for a link back to a products listing in listing_img_title.php ( as an override)

<span class="hikashop_product_brand"><?php

if($this->config->get('manufacturer_display', 1) && !empty($this->row->product_manufacturer_id)){
	$categoryClass = hikashop_get('class.category');
	$manufacturer = $categoryClass->get($this->row->product_manufacturer_id);
	if($manufacturer->category_published){
		$menuClass = hikashop_get('class.menus');
		$Itemid = $menuClass->loadAMenuItemId('manufacturer','listing');
		if(empty($Itemid)){
			$Itemid = $menuClass->loadAMenuItemId('','');
		}
		$categoryClass->addAlias($manufacturer);
		echo JText::_('').''.'<a href="'.hikashop_contentLink('category&task=listing&cid='.$manufacturer->category_id.'&name='.$manufacturer->alias.'&Itemid='.$Itemid,$manufacturer).'">'.$manufacturer->category_name.'</a>';
		echo "<span style='display:none;' itemprop='Brand'>". $manufacturer->category_name ."</span>";
	}
}?></span>
