Assign manufacturers to products
Your products can be assigned to a manufacturer:
- Go to the product and click Edit
- Find the dropdown with brands and manufacturers
- Select the correct manufacturer
- Click Save
Show the manufacturer in your theme
To display manufacturer information on the product page, your developer needs to add the following Smarty code in your theme:
<{$manufacturer = $product->getManufacturer()}> <{if $manufacturer}> <p><{$manufacturer->getName()|escape}></p> <p><{$manufacturer->getAddress()|escape}></p> <p><{$manufacturer->getEmail()|escape}></p> <{if $manufacturer->getWebsite()}> <p><a href="<{$manufacturer->getWebsite()}>">Website</a></p> <{/if}> <{if $manufacturer->getIsOutsideEu()}> <p><strong>EU contact:</strong></p> <p><{$manufacturer->getEuName()|escape}></p> <p><{$manufacturer->getEuAddress()|escape}></p> <p><{$manufacturer->getEuEmail()|escape}></p> <{/if}> <{/if}>
Tip.
The code should be inserted in your product template (typically product.html or also.html). Ask your developer to place it where the manufacturer information makes sense in your layout.
