[SOLVED] Adding manufacturer description to product page

[Kungpin]

Hi, I want to add Manufacture Name and description into the product page (product.tpl)

I solved the name adding by adding this line:

{$product->manufacturer_name|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}

But i also want the manufacture description to be displayed, I tryed this code but failed:

{$manufacturer->description|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}

Please Help me!?

Hi

Did you manage to solve this?

I have managed to put the manufacturer name in the product page - but would also like the description.

The code isn't working because the manufacturer object isn't being passed into product.tpl. To fix this, you need to add the following before the $smarty->display at the bottom of product.php:

$manufacturer = new Manufacturer($product->id_manufacturer, intval($cookie->id_lang));
$smarty->assign('manufacturer', $manufacturer);

Then you can use the following code anywhere in product.tpl in your theme's directory:

{$manufacturer->description}

Fantastic - thank you so much

(Now I have to add the descriptions on my live site before uploading the edited files)

This does exactly what I wanted.
