Was this information Helpful?

I have a store with a couple thousand products. The client has requested to be able to filter the product table by Manufacturer. I have spent days, with several false starts and attempt to get something working but have had no success.

I know there was a Manufacturer module for UC 1, but I am using UC2.

In the most basic sense, what I need is to be able to create a block that I can make to show only when viewing the uc_product_table() and the block will list all Manufacturers in the category being viewed. Then when the user clicks on the Manufacturer, the list will be filtered to show only that manufacturer's products.

Currently, the manufacturer name is entered in the products as a CCK field, but I can change this to a taxonomy item if needed.

Please, any suggestions on how I can accomplish this will be greatly appreciated!

module views

how about first create those manufacturers as taxonomy items
after that create a block or even a page using module views
hope this is enough to answer your question
i myself still struggling looking for better way to store all manufacturers
would be nice if uc_manufacturer is ported to ubercart2
