[SOLVED] Hide left column only on manufacturer-list

[gregultra]

Everything is in the title.

I can hide it, but it disappear on the manufacturer page as well, and i don't want this.

Seems like manufacturer and manufacturer-list have the same ID...

[vekia]

how you hide left column? with css styles?

[gregultra]

well yes, like i did everywhere else : display:none.

[vekia]

take a look:

 

controllers/front/ManufacturersController.php

	public function initContent()
	{
		parent::initContent();

		if (Validate::isLoadedObject($this->manufacturer) && $this->manufacturer->active && $this->manufacturer->isAssociatedToShop())
		{
			$this->productSort();
			$this->assignOne();
			$this->setTemplate(_PS_THEME_DIR_.'manufacturer.tpl');
		}
		else
		{
			$this->assignAll();
                        $this->display_column_left = false;
			$this->setTemplate(_PS_THEME_DIR_.'manufacturer-list.tpl');
		}
	}

i added $this->display_column_left = false; to section related to manufacturer-list.tpl

enjoy!

It doesn't work  
version 1.5.6.0, if that can help.

[vekia]

oops! by bad

 

the same file, use this code:

if (isset($_GET['id_manufacturer']))
		{
        $this->display_column_left = true;
	    } else {
        $this->display_column_left = false;
        } 

in init() function:

	/**
	 * Initialize manufaturer controller
	 * @see FrontController::init()
	 */
	public function init()
	{
		parent::init();
        if (isset($_GET['id_manufacturer']))
		{
        $this->display_column_left = true;
	    } else {
        $this->display_column_left = false;
        } 

effect:

Why all this, when there is funktion for it in: preferenses-themes

[MarysWebLab]

Vekia's trick works like a charm! Though, in some themes, you may have issue with the width of the center column.

In my case I found a "dirty" solution by adding a <style> inside the manufacturers-list.tpl

<style>
.show-left-column #center_column {
    width: 100%!important;
}
</style>

@Bhodi

The issue is that when you select to activate a column for the manufacturers on the template settings, you enable the column for both, manufacturers-list and single manufacturer, pages. The goal with this trick is to have a column enabled ONLY on the single manufacturer page and NOT on the manufacturers-list.

But I agree with you that for all the other pages, you don't need css, or any other coding... Just to set the columns properly (as long as the theme selected supports it!)

[vekia]

but it is worth to mention that is for non-bootstrap themes :-)

Hello Vekia

I am using prestashop 1.7 and I want to show the left column on the manufacturer listing.

Should I add inside controllers/front/listing/ManufacturerController.php ?

$this->display_column_left = true;

Actually, my main issues is when I try to clic on pagination like 2,3... on the listing of product of a specific manufacturer, nothing happens.

I saw it is because of the faceted module that is not on the left column because on my category listing, the pagination works.

Thank you for your help

Just a reminder to this topic where Vekia surprisingly reacts. If you wish to buy anything from mypresta.eu, be sure that his support is non-existent and communication is absolutely zero.
