Mister Denial Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Hello, is there a way to add a manufacturer link on the product description, in the bootstrap-theme? For example below the product reference, or the short description? Something that looks for example like this: Brand: Manufacturer X and make the manufacturer name a clickable link? Thanks if anyone knows how to implement this. And have a nice weekend everyone! Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSfever.com Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Hi, I've made a tutorial a while back..on How to add Manufacturer to Product page. Unfourtunately, this does not include the manufacturer to be clickable..that's a bit more complicated I'm afraid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Denial Posted July 7, 2014 Author Share Posted July 7, 2014 Hi Psvefer, thanks for the info and the tutorial. Is it very difficult to modify your code in order to make it a clickable link that directs to the manufacturer page? That would be a big asset on the product pages. Best regards, Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best regards, Dan Hi Dan, (cool username btw) I looked into it, it wasn't as hard as I first though! From the tutorial, replace the secnod part with this. Let me know, if it helps! <p id="manufacturer" {if !$product_manufacturer->name}style="display: none;"{/if}> <label>{l s='Manufacturer:'} </label> <a href="{$link->getManufacturerLink($product_manufacturer->id_manufacturer, $product_manufacturer->link_rewrite)|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}"><span>{$product->manufacturer_name|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}</span></a> </p> 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Denial Posted July 8, 2014 Author Share Posted July 8, 2014 Hi Psfever, have you already replaced the code on the tutorial page? Because I started with implementing that, and it did work great, manufacturer shows up, link is clickable, perfect! I am really happy for that code snippet, thanks a lot for making it happen! It's a great addition to the default template, I wonder why it is not standard. Regarding my username, thanks, but I can only take half credit for it; the other half goes to the spammers whose email program auto-corrected my first name, and who kept sending me messages starting with "Hello Mister Denial..." - I liked the sound of it, so I kept it. Who said spammers are good for nothing?! ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radus Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 (edited) works like magic in Product.TPL I use for SEO inside element schema.org/Product <meta itemprop="manufacturer" content="{$link->getManufacturerLink($product_manufacturer->id_manufacturer, $product_manufacturer->link_rewrite)|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}" /> does not work on Product-list.TPL => http://www.winerepublic.ro/ro/_ http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/richsnippets?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.winerepublic.ro%2Fro%2Fvinuri-6 does not work on homefeatured.TPL => http://www.winerepublic.ro/ro/_ How hard is to make it ? Makes a lot of business sense from SEO perspective. Edited November 17, 2014 by radus (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually that is a brilliant idea, adding the manufacturer schema information! @ Psfever: do you think you can integrate that somehow into your tutorial? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radus Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Yes, but you have to help me for this because I am not strong as programmer . Product Page http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/richsnippets?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.winerepublic.ro%2Fen%2Fwhite-wine%2F1234-lacerta-chardonnay.html Category Page http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/richsnippets?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.winerepublic.ro%2Fen%2Fwines-6 Homepage http://www.winerepublic.ro/en/ So, we have to address Homepage.TPL , Product-list.TPL , Product.TPL. What do you say ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Denial Posted November 17, 2014 Author Share Posted November 17, 2014 I would say that currently the priority should be the product.tpl as it is the unique product offering, and the page that will get most attention from Google in understanding the offering. Second most important would be the category page, as Google will be able to understand multiple product offerings on one page in the future. There already are some threads about schema on those pages, especially as there is a currency bug for some users (including me) where pricecurrency=0 On the homepage, I would not worry too much about schema, as long as your product details and listings are set up correctly.

radus Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 OK, but can you write the script to retrieve Category URL, Category Name, SubCategory URL and SubCategory Name into Product.TPL ? I do not have those knowledges ? [ It should be multilanguage and multishop ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
