Adding Manufacturer Logo into Category Page

Hi,

We have edited the category page to display a link to each product's manufacturer. What we would like to do is replace the manufacturer name with the manufacturer image. Please could you explain how we do this?

The current code we have used is:

<?php

$manufacturerClass = hikashop_get('class.category');
$manufacturer = $manufacturerClass->get($this->row->product_manufacturer_id);
$manufacturer_url = HIKASHOP_LIVE.'index.php?option=com_hikashop&ctrl=category&task=listing&cid='.$manufacturer->category_id.'&name='.$manufacturer->category_alias.'&Itemid=233';

echo '<a href='.$manufacturer_url.' >';
echo $manufacturer->category_name;
echo '</a>';
?>

Many thanks in advance.

Thank you. I have one more unrelated question, but not sure if I should create a new thread?

I am just wondering if it is possible to place links to the products around the product names in the order emails?

The product titles are referenced in the emails like this: {LINEVAR:PRODUCT_NAME}

Thanks you.
