Hi Adi,

Is there a way to change the ‘sort by’ on a manufacture page?
Im able to change it from ‘asc’ to ‘desc’ but need to sort by attribute. Changing the default in config doesn’t seem to make a difference.

Thanx
Dave

Hey,
can you tell me how I can access the sth. like the manufacturer-code from within my list.phtml?

I want to alter my listing layout depending on what manufacturer page is shown, so I need sth. like if ($manufacturer == ‘foo’) in that template and $attribute_code = $this->getDataOr(‘attribute_code’, ‘manufacturer’); just returns NULL.

Hi Adi,

thank you for your effort in creating this extension.

i exactly have the same problem like JEFF. No attributes are showing,
just “none”, “gender” and one self added for configurable products,
but about 20 attributes missing at System -> Config -> Attributes pages. These attributes are “global”.

Categories are set as anchors, DC-folder copied to my theme folder,
cashes, indexes all renewed.

Tried everything, could not fix it.

Any clues greatly appreciated.

Yours, Visudox

Check that the desired attributes are global under Catalog -> Attributes

Hi Adi,

Thanks for the extension. I just installed it and having a weird issue. When I open System > Configuration > Catalog > Attribute Info Pages then I only see two options,

none
Gender

to make for page activation. I think there should we brand, manufacturer and other important attributes but they are not coming in my computer.

I have installed other extensions too so is this causing? I want to create Manufacturer page so I searched and installed this.

Can you please tell me the update to do or other solution?

Jeff

You should modify the file /app/design/frontend/default/default/template/dc_catalog/product/view/attribute.phtml. I cannot test right now, but $_attr->getExternalUrl() in this file should give you the external url and the label should be $_attr->getExternalUrlLabel().

Hello…

I want to show a link to the manufacturers webpage on my product view.
How can I handle this ?

I’ve added the code from your example:

if($_product->getData(‘manufacturer’) > 0) {
echo $this->getChildHtml(‘attributes.manufacturer’);
}

This show my an Link to the attribute info page, the image is also not visible. In the code i see there is an tag witth an empty src attribute. In the admin i store an image, url and Name.

How can i read out only the external link ?
Or maybe the Logo ?

Thank you for helping…

Regards
Rene
