Changing Manufacture to model

[abubobbob]

Hi everyone hope someone can help me with this one. In the whats new box the products are shown as such...

 

Product Name

Date Added: Monday 16 October, 2007

Manufacturer:

 

Price:

 

Ive been filling out the model instead of manufacturer for all my products so wondered if there was a way to change it to show the model field instead here. Also i would like to do the same on the advanced search box for when it does not return a product found, how would i change that drop down box to being a list of model names. Lastly the bread crumb for a product shows as such:

 

catalog--->categories--->subcatagory---->subsubcatagory---->model

 

I just want to delete the model name off the end of all product subcatagories.

 

Thanks for any help given

The following will allow you to change the manufacturer to model in the whats_new pages. The rest of what you request, I am not sure at this time on how to make the changes you requested.

 

Remember, before changing any of the files listed below, always save your original files so if you need to you can put them back in your webfiles.

 

 

 

First go to catalog\includes\languages\english folder and open up products_new.php

 

Find

 

define('TEXT_PRICE', 'Price:');?>

 

and change it to

 

define('TEXT_PRICE', 'Price:');define('TEXT_MODEL_NUMBER', 'Model number:');?>

 

Next replace your original file with this modified one in your webfiles.

 

 

 

Next go to the Catalog folder and open up products_new.php

 

First find

 

p.products_price, p.products_tax_class_id,

 

and change to

 

p.products_price, p.products_model, p.products_tax_class_id,

 

Next find

 

TEXT_MANUFACTURER . ' ' . $products_new['manufacturers_name']

 

and change to

 

TEXT_MODEL_NUMBER . ' <b>' . $products_new['products_model']

 

Now replace your original file with this modified one in your webfiles.

 

If you make the changes as stated above it should work fine.

To change your breadcrumb trail to read catalog--->categories--->subcatagory---->subsubcatagory

 

Find the catalog\includes folder and open up application_top.php

 

Find

 

} elseif (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['manufacturers_id'])) {

$manufacturers_query = tep_db_query("select manufacturers_name from " . TABLE_MANUFACTURERS . " where manufacturers_id = '" . (int)$HTTP_GET_VARS['manufacturers_id'] . "'");

if (tep_db_num_rows($manufacturers_query)) {

$manufacturers = tep_db_fetch_array($manufacturers_query);

$breadcrumb->add($manufacturers['manufacturers_name'], tep_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT, 'manufacturers_id=' . $HTTP_GET_VARS['manufacturers_id']));

}

}

 

// add the products model to the breadcrumb trail

if (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['products_id'])) {

$model_query = tep_db_query("select products_model from " . TABLE_PRODUCTS . " where products_id = '" . (int)$HTTP_GET_VARS['products_id'] . "'");

if (tep_db_num_rows($model_query)) {

$model = tep_db_fetch_array($model_query);

$breadcrumb->add($model['products_model'], tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT_INFO, 'cPath=' . $cPath . '&products_id=' . $HTTP_GET_VARS['products_id']));

}

}

 

// initialize the message stack for output messages

require(DIR_WS_CLASSES . 'message_stack.php');

$messageStack = new messageStack;

 

Change it to

 

} elseif (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['manufacturers_id'])) {

$manufacturers_query = tep_db_query("select manufacturers_name from " . TABLE_MANUFACTURERS . " where manufacturers_id = '" . (int)$HTTP_GET_VARS['manufacturers_id'] . "'");

if (tep_db_num_rows($manufacturers_query)) {

$manufacturers = tep_db_fetch_array($manufacturers_query);

$breadcrumb->add($manufacturers['manufacturers_name'], tep_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT, 'manufacturers_id=' . $HTTP_GET_VARS['manufacturers_id']));

}

}

// initialize the message stack for output messages

require(DIR_WS_CLASSES . 'message_stack.php');

$messageStack = new messageStack;

 

Now save your new file and load it to your webfiles

 

Remember to always save your original files so you can put them back on if you need to.
