I’m trying to create a block with all manufacturers to stay on each page of the site and at the moment I can not. In testing, I have built a new block on the page of manufacturers, copy of the block “all.phtml” by another name and I was not shown, only write “all.phtml”. Any ideas?

No, not yet.. I wrote ‘preparations’ In the controller part, the multiple select should build the product listing.
For example, if you have authors linked to products you can already display server.com/author and server.com/author/author-name.
I have to make the product page view now, to display the list of authors with links and I will release a new version.

hi adi,

i just saw that u added the multiselect part and tried it .

for grouped products it works fine, but i when i use a simple product with a multiselect attribute i get no products.

is it a known bug?

thx joe

Thanks to @alex-s and @Craig Thompson for the code, I just released a new version which displays the editor and other fixes

I hope I understand this right, try with this code:
//the attribute value collection $valuesCollection = Mage::getModel('dc_catalog/manufacturer')->getCollection();

//set the store id and the main category from the store $valuesCollection ->addStoreFilter(Mage::app()->getStore()->getId(), true) ->addAttributeCodeFilter($this->getAttributeCode()) ->addFavoritesFilter() //if you want only favorites ->addEnabledFilter();
and then you can acces the attributes with $valuesCollection->retrieveAll()->getItems()

Otherwise, you would have to change the Block/AttributeInfo.php file to add some methods which can be then accessed in the template file. Hope this helps.
