I added this last week do all files and edits need to be done again?

Hi there again,

The only change is that 'and c.categories_status = 1 ' is removed from catalog/all_manufacturers_categories.php around line 62.

If you have it working, no need to make changes.

strange question -

 

line 21 of all_manufacturers_categories.php

$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] is giving me catalog/all_manufacturers_categories.php

 

any idea why catalog is appended before the name?

 

i cannot find where this is set.

 

thanks

Nice contrib - thank you. Any chance of adding a split page result for those shops with a ton of manufacturers to list?

I don't see this happening soon to this contribution as this is an 'all' type of page, which implies it shows all of them without pagination.

 

The tricky bit is that in order to do pagination, the records to count and split on is for the manufacturer, but the actual detail of the query is at the category level, but you wouldn't want to split based on the number of categories shown but on the number of manufacturers shown. Thus this is quite a bit of separate/new development to accomplish this.

it gets appended because of that is where it is stored.

if this causes problems, just repace $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] with 'all_manufacturers_categories.php'

which is the more standard osCommerce way. If you want some flexibiility in how you name the file, add it as a define in includes/filenames.php and use the defined value. (you should have plenty of examples like in contact_us.php for how to do this)

I went ahead and submitted a new All Manufacturers contrib to paginate the results :

Hi Corrina,

Thanks for posting this,

Just to be clear on this: your contribution only lists the manufacturers, not the categories they have products in. So these are really different solutions. Hopefully it does meet Martha's need.

Hi Carine -

 

Ok - I can modify this to include the categories. I don't think I realized that the manufacturers were tied to categories.

Is there already a contrib that does this ? but without the pagination ? I think so .......

 

Version 2.1 is on the way! lol.

Yes, this is the support thread for it, but it obviously doesn't do pagination. :lol:

But maybe in the morniing when I get up again in about 6 hours you'll have it done :thumbsup:

Thanks for your contribution for that link!

is there any way, to transform it to a module so i can call it in the index of my shop ?

Great contribution.

 

But I have a problem, when I click on a category, instead of showing me the products from that category, it shows all products from that manufacturer.

It shows the categories that belongs to that manufacturer with the number of products, but it takes me to all products. Strange, because the link in the browser seems to be fine:

h t t p://localhost/index.php?manufacturers_id=43&category_id=122

 

Any ideas?

Is it posible to show just one manufacturer? Something like manufacturers_id=xx and then show the one manufacturer with all available categories?
