First of all, let’s open these three files first:<\/p>\n
\n\n
- shop.browse.php in \/administrator\/components\/com_virtuemart\/html\/shop.browse.php<\/li>\n
- ps_product.php (Open this for explanation purpose)<\/li>\n
- browse_1.php (The browse page in which your browse page is using)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/blockquote>\n
<\/p>\n
Shop.browse.php<\/strong><\/p>\n
Search for this line:<\/p>\n
\/\/ NOW START THE PRODUCT LIST
\n$tpl = vmTemplate::getInstance();<\/p><\/blockquote>\nAll code will be inserted after the line above. That created the object of class vmTemplate.<\/p>\n
Before the add to cart button:<\/p>\n
\/\/ Add-to-Cart Button<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
I insert the codes to set the manufacturer description (or name). In the manufacturer description I only have one image, which is the logo of the manufacturer.<\/p>\n
$mf_desc = $ps_product->get_mf_desc( $db_browse->f(‘product_id’) );
\n$tpl->set(‘mf_desc’,$mf_desc);<\/span><\/p>\n$mf_id = $ps_product->get_manufacturer_id( $db_browse->f(‘product_id’) );
\n$tpl->set(‘mf_id’,$mf_id);<\/span><\/p>\nPut this code:<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n$products[$i][‘mf_desc’] = $mf_desc;
\n$products[$i][‘mf_id’] = $mf_id;<\/span><\/p>\nright before : } \/\/ END OF while loop<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Note: Do not put the code above inside any if condition statement after the\u00a0 $tpl = vmTemplate::getInstance(); Otherwise, the codes might not work probably.<\/p>\n
So, you might ask what does this line say about:
\n$ps_product->get_mf_desc( $db_browse->f(‘product_id’) );<\/strong><\/p>\nPS_product is the PHP class file “ps_product.php”.<\/p>\n
ps_product.php<\/strong><\/p>\n
Inside this class, we found a method\/function called “get_mf_name”.
\nAnd the method get_mf_name require a passin reference “product_id”.<\/p>\nWe create a method called get_mf_desc after the get_mf_name method we put:<\/p>\n
\/**
\n* Functon to get the description of the manufacturer this product is assigned to
\n*
\n* @param int $product_id
\n* @return string the manufacturer description
\n*\/
\nfunction get_mf_desc($product_id) {
\n$db = new ps_DB;<\/span><\/p>\n$q = “SELECT mf_desc,#__{vm}_manufacturer.manufacturer_id FROM #__{vm}_product_mf_xref,#__{vm}_manufacturer “;
\n$q .= “WHERE product_id=’$product_id’ “;
\n$q .= “AND #__{vm}_manufacturer.manufacturer_id=#__{vm}_product_mf_xref.manufacturer_id”;<\/p>\n$db->query($q);
\n$db->next_record();
\nif ($db->f(“mf_desc”)) {
\nreturn $db->f(“mf_desc”);
\n}
\nelse {
\nreturn “”;
\n}
\n}<\/p><\/blockquote>\nTo get each product id in browse page, we have this build in function: $db_browse->f(‘product_id’)<\/strong><\/p>\n
Lastly, we put this “TAG” $mf_desc in our browse template file:browse_1.php<\/p>\n
browse_1.php<\/strong><\/p>\n
<a href=”<?php echo $sess->url( URL.”index.php?option=com_virtuemart&page=shop.browse&manufacturer_id=”. $mf_id ) ?>” target=”_parent”>
\n<?php echo $mf_desc; ?>
\n<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\nStraight forward? Just echo the variables we defined before.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
