I wish to display BRAND/MANUFACTURER attribute in Product Grid and Product Detail page title

oxygenwebstudio Total Posts: 25 Joined: 2011-08-22 Ignore user	Hi, Im doing some SEO on the site - all good fun! But I am stuck on how do I display the BRAND name in 2 places: The product grid / list page The product detail page. Essentially, I would like to have <BRAND> & “ “ & <PRODUCT NAME> Can anyone point me out the code necessary to pull this out in the relevant file? Thank you!

Our manufacturer attribute is a dropdown to prevent fatfinger exponential growth of manufacturers. (stock Magento) Our brand attribute is a text entry box to allow a little more freedom (brands change all the time, some internal rebranding happens, etc. In the end, a dropdown for this gets monumentally messed up as you may have 600 manufacturers and 2000 intermixed brands in the separate dropdown if you go that route. In the product listing, you will need the following: `<?php echo $_product->getAttributeText('manufacturer') . " - " . $_product->getBrand() . " - " . $_product->getName() ?>` You MUST also have in Attribute Management for the attributes you wish to show in the listing have “Used in Product Listing” set to Yes so they will be returned in the $_product collection. Screen clip below is to show you where this is found. On the product view page, the whole collection is pulled in, so you don’t have to worry about attribute management settings. The same collection $_product is used, so the above code block will work. app/design/frontend/default/your_theme/template/catalog/product/list.phtml app/design/frontend/default/your_theme/template/catalog/product/view.phtml Image Attachments Click thumbnail to see full-size image Signature ----- 1) For preserving thy future happiness, thou shalt back up thy HTTP doc directories and Magento database regularly. 2) For preserving thy sanity during module installs and moves, thou shalt disable thy cache and compiler and flush their caches.

One of the ways to handle this would be to use if conditionals to test for existence and then turn off display for that element. `<?php if ($_product->getAttributeText('manufacturer')): ?> <?php echo $_product->getAttributeText('manufacturer') . " - " ?> <?php endif; ?> <?php if ($_product->getBrand()): ?> <?php echo $_product->getBrand() . " - " ?> <?php endif; ?> <?php $_product->getName() ?>` Enclose that in the proper tag like <p></p> and it all concatenates together with suppressed display for items not found. The previous would have displayed along the lines of Manufacturer - Brand - Name of product with missing Manufacturer and Brand items you would have - - Name of product Which isn’t quite so nice a display as for example, missing brand showing as Manufacturer - Name of product Signature ----- 1) For preserving thy future happiness, thou shalt back up thy HTTP doc directories and Magento database regularly. 2) For preserving thy sanity during module installs and moves, thou shalt disable thy cache and compiler and flush their caches.

Here’s a screenshot, just for documentation, of davidmst’s post. http://i.imgur.com/RpC8S2L.png davidmst - 23 May 2013 09:21 PM Easy One Page Checkout Extension!!!! Visit Extension Page: http://www.magebay.com/shop/easy-one-page-checkout.html Live Demo: http://magebay.com/livedemo/opc/index.php/ Backend Demo: http://magebay.com/livedemo/opc/index.php/admin This is a complete and utter ripoff of the ORIGINAL One Step Checkout for Magento. http://www.onestepcheckout.com/ OneStepCheckout.com: http://i.imgur.com/pldwpwD.png vs. Magento Easy One Page Checkout http://i.imgur.com/2hrXzoq.png David, you should be ashamed of yourself. You’ve literally copied their module down to every single element. Even the text: “Already registered? Click here to Login”, “1,2,3,checkmark.”. This is really quite sad, and as someone whose had his work blatantly stolen before, it makes me quite angry. There are many MANY ways of creating a very nice one step checkout, you could have done something original. Instead you’ve COMPLETELY copied them. This is just disgusting! OneStepCheckout.com has been around for ages and their module is very mature, meaning all of the bugs have been worked out. I bought my first license for it not much longer after I made the original post in 2009 after waiting for 6 months for two developers to finish the job, which they completely botched. My sales weren’t going up, in fact they went down, and I knew something was up when a customer notified me that they couldn’t check out. You’ve stolen their design, and possibly, their source code. At this point, I wouldn’t put it past you skimming people’s credit card numbers from your customers websites. It’s definitely not a far leap, if you think stealing one thing is okay, why not another, right? Believe me, the last thing you want is your checkout not working. And trusting a developer that didn’t come up with an original idea, and instead completely ripped off another developers work, is not something I would advise.
