Regarding the Dec 12th version of UC Manufacturer Module,

It over-rides any set taxonomy/term view.

E.g. When using Drupal's Views module to display product teasers, rather than the catalog module, the new version of the module over-rides the view settings.

How do you mean? Maybe a screenshot will help me understand.

Can't give you a screen shot, since I have reverted back to a previous version of my site. I'll try to explain better.

I am using 'views' and 'views bonus' to display products in a 4 column grid. When I call 'taxonomy/term/15', for e.g., I get a grid view that display teasers of all the nodes that are attributed with that category term. Taxonomy term 15 would be a term in the manufacturer category.

I don't have the 'catalog' module enabled.

After I updated uc_manufacturer, the 'views bonus' grid display was overridden, and instead, I got the default ubercart product display page (where products are listed by being stacked vertically, with the photo on the left, and text on the right).

This is the case for terms that were part of the manufacturer category.

Uninstalling the uc_manufactuerer module did not put things back the way they were, this is why I needed to revert to a backup of the site.

**Given my current setup, I don't need to use the manufacturer module. But I wanted to use it for future compatibility purposes, and possibly to the use the logo upload and display feature.

I think this may have been solely a pathauto issue? Thanks.

I have the same problem - i cant oveeride default list of products which build manufacturer module by views.

I make a view a set it url to "manufacturer". But when i visit this url - i dont see the views output but i see uc_manufacturer output.

With catalog module - its all right

It turned out the my problem was the result of a drupal glitch. The node alias cannot be the same as the system generated node id, for Views to work properly.

Look under 'Site Building' and 'URL Aliases.'

Hope that helps.
