Manufacturer's Link On Home Featured

[djf9801]

We have just upgraded to 1.5.3 and our old site had a link to the manufacturer with each featured product on the home page.

 

We did use something this code in homefeatured.tpl:

 

<p class="product_desc">by <a href="{$link->getmanufacturerLink($product.id_manufacturer, $manufacturer.link_rewrite)}" title="{l s='More from' mod='blockmanufacturer'} {$product.manufacturer_name}">{$product.manufacturer_name|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}</a></p>

 

in 1.4.8

 

This doesn't work in 1.5.3. Any ideas?

Many thanks for your reply vekia.

 

Here's the test site URL: http://www.cutalongstory.com/cut15a/index.php

 

I've added in product-list.tpl the following code:

 

by <a href="{$link->getmanufacturerLink($product.id_manufacturer, $manufacturer.link_rewrite)}" title="{l s='More from' mod='blockmanufacturer'} {$product.manufacturer_name}">{$product.manufacturer_name|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}</a>

 

To display and link to the product's manufacturer. However the link to the page breaks the formatting of the page and doesn't display properly.

 

The manufacturer's page is ok in another version of the site: http://www.cutalongstory.com/cut15/index.php - click on names in the Stories by writer block in the bottom right to view.

 

This was fine a version 1.4.8 of the site. Thanks.
