Add manufacturer description into product page

[Xinito87]

Hi!

 

I want to show the MANUFACTURAR DESCRIPTION nest to the product description and DATA SHEET tabs in the product page.

 

I'm trying to do it but I don't find the way to solve it.

 

Anyone has done it or has an idea about the line of code that I have to introduce?

 

I'm thinking about modify product.tpl , but I'm not sure.

 

If you can help me, my version is 1.5.6

 

Thanks.

You should get product manufacturer in product controller assign it and view it the tpl.

$id_lang = $this->context->language->id;
$manufacturer = new Manufacturer($this->product->id_manufacturer, $id_lang);
$manuf_description = $manufacturer->description[$id_lang];
$this->context->smarty->assign('manufact_desc', $manuf_description);

And in the tpl  should call your manufacturer description as {$manufact_desc}

Can you help me with the code that I have to implement?

 

I'm junior and I don't know how to work with Prestashop code a lot.

 

Thanks.

I edited my answer above.

You should override the ProductController.php file

[vekia]

you want to create separate tab or add this description just to "more info" tab ?

[Xinito87]

Yes, I want to show this Manufacturers description as a TAB.

 

I tryed to Copy and Paste the code in ProductController.php and call the function in Product.TPL but it doesn't work for me.

 

I don't know if I'm missing something, if it's not annoying, if someone can exdplain step by step what I have todo, I think it's not complicated a lot but I'm mnore designer no than programmer and I need to solve it.

 

Thanks a lot!!

Hi Tarek,

 

Now appear this line in my website : $id_lang = $this->context->language->id; $manufacturer = new Manufacturer($this->product->id_manufacturer, $id_lang); $manuf_description = $manufacturer->description[$id_lang]; $this->context->smarty->assign('manufact_desc', $manuf_description);

I don't know how to make it disappear.... :s

 

Please help, thanks.

Hi,

You should add the php code in iniContent function in ProductController.php, i use Prestashop 1.5.4, in my case i can insert the code in line 207 before this code:

$this->context->smarty->assign(array(
				'pictures' => $pictures,
				'textFields' => $text_fields));

try to change and let me know the result.

Hi Tarek,

 

It doesn't work for me, if you can check this link you will se that now appear this text : $id_lang = $this->context->language->id; $manufacturer = new Manufacturer($this->product->id_manufacturer, $id_lang); $manuf_description = $manufacturer->description[$id_lang]; $this->context->smarty->assign('manufact_desc', $manuf_description);

If you can specify which files I have to modify and where I have to introduce the codes that you are sending to me, because I can't find the way to make it work now... I'm beginner programmer.

 

Thanks.

You don't read this post?, you shoud put the code

$id_lang = $this->context->language->id;
$manufacturer = new Manufacturer($this->product->id_manufacturer, $id_lang);
$manuf_description = $manufacturer->description[$id_lang];
$this->context->smarty->assign('manufact_desc', $manuf_description);

in /controllers/ProductController.php at line 207

[Xinito87]

I tryed tu put the code where you told me, and it's not working.

 

Now I have removed the code... because it was not working, and keep appearing this on my site :s

 

$id_lang = $this->context->language->id; $manufacturer = new Manufacturer($this->product->id_manufacturer, $id_lang); $manuf_description = $manufacturer->description[$id_lang]; $this->context->smarty->assign('manufact_desc', $manuf_description);

try with this code, i tested it and it works

$id_lang = $this->context->language->id; $manufacturer = new Manufacturer($this->product->id_manufacturer, $id_lang); $manuf_description = $manufacturer->description;  $this->context->smarty->assign('manufact_desc', $manuf_description);

Don't forget to put {$manufact_desc} in your Product.tpl file

[Xinito87]

I think now is OK!

 

I introduced ( {$manufact_desc} ) like this :

 

       <h6> {l s='Manufacturer'} </h6>

<div id="idTab22" class="rte">{$manufact_desc}</div>

{/if}

 

So I have the title and it implemented in the TAB.

 

Thanks!

$id_lang = $this->context->language->id;
$manufacturer = new Manufacturer($this->product->id_manufacturer, $id_lang);
$manuf_description = $manufacturer->description[$id_lang];
$this->context->smarty->assign('manufact_desc', $manuf_description);

then in product.tpl (located in your theme directory) you will be able to use {$manufact_desc} variable to display manufacturer description

Hi could you please explain how can I use {$manufact_desc} variable in product.tpl file

[vekia]

open product.tpl page and just paste this:

{$manufact_desc}

there, where you want to display description

 

you know something about product.tpl structure?

[garyjj127]

I know this is an old thread, But I've just tried this myself and it works, except it doesn't seem to get past the first character of the description!

For example, the manufacturer description html is something like this:

 

<p>Etnies have been making quality footwear since ...</p>

 

All that appears on the page is "p" !

I wondered if it was someting to do with the html code in the description, so changed the P tag to an H1 tag, and sure enough... all I get is an "H"!!

 

Any ideas why?
