Sort By Manufacturers

[iCasper]

Hi,
How can I sort products by manufacturers? I know that some why it can be done. Because this shop is using PrestaStore and they have that function. Can some body tell me how I can do it ?

My post here might help.

Thanks, but adding a code

{l s="brand"}

to product-sort.tpl make products order by manufacturer names, but I need another sort by form, where you can see all manufacturer names witch is in this category. Like in the image I posted in first post.

I would be nice if someone could help at this. I think this kind of feature would be popular for many users.

I see. In that case, you want to filter by manufacturer, not sort by manufacturer. This free module might help.

Hi everybody !
I also need this filter by manufacturer.
What I need is the most simple dropdown filter.
Just with the manufacturers choice.

I tried each of the huge filters offered in the forum, but none meets this simple characteristic.

I added the "brand" or "manufacturer" option in product-sort.tpl
as recommended here : http://www.prestashop.com/forums/viewthread/35101/modules_tiers/tri_par_defaut_par_reference/

I also tried to duplicate the dropdown window which is in the product-sort.tpl
I think that it just needs a condition saying "do not list the products if id_manufacturer is different than X"

But how can I do that ?

I need help, thanks in advance.

Sorry for bumping an old post, however I too am looking for a solution similar to the website posted above and I can't find anything so far (at least not one as simple as the attached images, or one that works with the current Prestashop version)
If anyone knows how to create a new dropdown menu that filters products by manufacturer's that would be great

Thanks

EDIT
I've hard-coded a new drop-down menu in product-sort.tpl

heres the code:

{l s='--'}
           {foreach from=$manufacturers item=manufacturer name=manufacturers}

{l s=$manufacturer.name|truncate:60:'...'|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}


           {/foreach}



{l s='Manufacturer:'}

It goes right under " {l s='Sort By:'} " (around line 25) in product-sort.tpl

So far the code only populates the drop-down box with all the manufacturer names however I cant get it to actually filter anything
Anyone here with more experience able to help me out? not after anything fancy, just need the products to be filtered based on manufacturer ID

Thanks

HI

I have the same issue, I mean, it would be very nice to have a drop-down box with the names of manufacturers, beside the current filter drop-down.
Did you guys ever get it resolved? Please post if "Yes"

Thanks

Great forum bytheway
