Hi! I´v read about your hack and it´s a very good idea, but I´ve already used the manufacturer desc for something other. So for me it´s not suitable. But there´s another question. I´d like to link the manufacturer not to this popup but to the mf_url so that the website of the manufacturer opens when I click on the manufacturer. Is this possible with some small coding?

// LINK TO MANUFACTURER POP-UP
$manufacturer_id = $ps_product->get_manufacturer_id($product_id);
$manufacturer_name = $ps_product->get_mf_name($product_id);
$manufacturer_link = “”;
if( $manufacturer_id && !empty($manufacturer_name) ) {
$link = “$mosConfig_live_site/index2.php?page=shop.manufacturer_page&manufacturer_id=$manufacturer_id&output=lite&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=”.$Itemid;
$text = ‘( ‘.$manufacturer_name.’ )’;
$manufacturer_link .= vmPopupLink( $link, $text );

// Avoid JavaScript on PDF Output
if( @$_REQUEST['output'] == “pdf” )
$manufacturer_link = “$text“;
}

In fact, your pach works perfectky the only ” annoying thing is that the link to any URL is texte only and not “clikable”.
ANy clue for that ?

TIA

“In the example above I’m using just the description (to show the logo) but you can use it to show other fields, just replace $mf_desc with $mf_name, $mf_email, $mf_url or a combination.”
So please can you tell me how to make a conbination ?
Thanks in advance and Thank you so much for your solution

This solution is great, but I still need the manufacturer name on same other place on the flypage:

E.G.:

Product Name
Brand: Manufacturer Name

–> On the right: Your solution, the Logo showing.

Basically I change this code:

$text = ‘( ‘.$manufacturer_name.’ )’;
$manufacturer_link .= vmPopupLink( $link, $text );

To following code, so that the Manufacturer is shown as text only without ():

$text = ‘ ‘.$manufacturer_name.’ ‘;
$manufacturer_link .= ($text );

This is how it works currently. Now I want to implement your logo solution but do not want to remove the Manufacturer as Text below the product name. How to get it done? To display both on one flypage the same time.

The previous requests I did recognize.

With this hack……it should be possible

You must locate the code, it may not be on that line in your version, but it is there in the file.

There’s no way I know of to do this, not with major rewriting anyway.
