Hi,

I would like to alter the product view to show the brand image (in addition to the link to the brand category).

I am working in the mytemplate/html/com_hikashop/product/show_block_product_files.php file and want to enhance the display of the manufacturer/brand. Currently the band name is displayed by HikaShop using this code:
echo JText::_('MANUFACTURER').': '.'<a href="'.hikashop_completeLink('category&task=listing&cid='.$manufacturer->category_id.'&name='.$manufacturer->alias.'&Itemid='.$Itemid).'">'.$manufacturer->category_name.'</a>';

I would like to add custom PHP code to the above to also display the image of this manufacturer/brand. I am not a PHP expert, but I went to the /category/listing.php file near line 47 and copied this code:
<img src="<?php echo $this->image->getPath($this->element->file_path); ?>" class="hikashop_category_image"/>

into the mytemplate/html/com_hikashop/product/show_block_product_files.php file. It got me a partial path to the image, but not the full path.

Can you give me some help on how to retrieve the full path to the brand image from the product view? Can this even be done? If not, do you have any other suggestions? I guess I can create a custom image field for the product, but that would require me to keep the product custom image field in sync with the brand image.

Any help is welcome.

Thanks,

Dennis

Hi,

This kind of code will give you the full image path of the product brand:

		<?php
		$db = JFactory::getDBO();
		$db->setQuery('SELECT * FROM '.hikashop_table('file').' WHERE file_type = "category" AND file_ref_id = '.(int)$this->element->product_manufacturer_id);
		$image = $db->loadObject();
		$fileClass = hikashop_get('class.file');
		$mainPath = $fileClass->getPath('image');
		$imagePath = $mainPath.$image->file_path;
		var_dump($imagePath);
		?>

I tried to aply the above code into the product / show_default file

But it only displays this crazy line.

string(76) "/home/XXXXX/public_html/(PATH TO BRAND IMAGE)

Any idea how to make it work ?

Hi,

The code Xavier gave you displays the full path of the image.
That's what you asked in your original message and thus that's what you get.

However, reading your first message, what you want is not the code to get the full path of the image but the code to get the HTML for the display of the image.
In that case, it's that code that you want:

<?php
		$db = JFactory::getDBO();
		$db->setQuery('SELECT * FROM '.hikashop_table('file').' WHERE file_type = "category" AND file_ref_id = '.(int)$this->element->product_manufacturer_id);
		$image = $db->loadObject();
		$fileClass = hikashop_get('helper.image');
		$img = $fileClass->getThumbnail($image->file_path, array('width' => '100', 'height' => '100'), array('default' => true,'forcesize'=>$this->config->get('image_force_size',true),'scale'=>$this->config->get('image_scale_mode','inside')));
		echo '<img src="'.$img->url.'/>';
		?>

Hello,

The code Nicolas gave here is working ; but for sure it requires some PHP/Development skills in order to know how to use it and paste it correctly in a PHP file.
You already opened a thread for your question ; please do not duplicate your questions, it will be counter productive.

Im sorry, i found another solution using the badge, is kind of double work, but with some special css is working fine for me. Hope in the future you can include the brand image like an option, thank you for your hard work!
