Some screenshots will follow soon, in the extension page. Test this extension before using on a live site!

The form for an attribute value is changed a little, with new fields that will be displayed in the product pages (in future versions). For example you can upload a banner, add a small description.

The “all manufactures” page will display favorites manufacturers first, then a list with all the manufacturers (the favorites are displayed again). Looking for some ideas on how to organize this list, in case of large volume of data (for example paginate by first letter), please share your ideas or code in the comments.

For multilingual/non English websites you can customize the texts using the locale files. The attribute code gets appended with an ‘s’ for the plural form, so it is easy to guess the string that has to be translated. For every attribute code used you have to add translations like this (example in Romanian – in orange is manufacturer, the original attribute code):
“Manufacturers”,”Toţi producătorii”
“All manufacturers”,”Toţi producătorii”
“Our favorite manufacturers”,”Producătorii cei mai căutaţi”

Happy testing!
