Was this information Helpful?

Hello,
I love the uc_manufacturer add-on module, but had a quick question. Right now, the module makes the path to the manufacturer's page something like site.com/manufacturer/335. I was wondering how I could change this to use the manufacturer's name instead. Pathauto does not seem to be able to do the trick.

Starting at line 122, the function uc_manufacturer_path($term) seems to be what I want to change. It is returning 'manufacturer/'. $term->tid; but I do not know what other variables are in the $term class. What variable would I want to use?

OK well using $term->name

OK well using $term->name seemed to work, but its capitalized. However, changing those lines only changes the link when you are on a manufacturer's product page, and the link only works if you have things setup in pathauto. Back to the code...

Re: OK well using $term->name

upon further investigation, it appears that I need to modify the $item variable somewhere around lines 67-89. Can anyone tell me what the arg(1) means and where I can get the name from it?

Re: Re: OK well using $term->name

OK, so I'm an idiot and arg(1) corresponds to the actual path in the address bar (e.g. site.com/catalog/house would be arg(0)=catalog arg(1)=house)... NOTE this disregards all pathauto/path settings.

Maybe I can just lookup the manufacturer name, now that I have the $term->tid?

(and is anyone else enjoying this as much as I am?)

EDIT: how do I lookup a $term if I know the tid??

Manufacturers in calagog menu

Any ideas how to put manufacturers in the catalog menu, so when I choose a category, to show all manufacturers in it?

Re: Manufacturers in calagog menu

did you try using the Views module? That seems like a good bet...

Are you sure that pathauto doesn't do the trick? This module is based on the core taxonomy module for which pathauto works great.
