In this short tutorial i want to show you how to add link to manufacturer page. This code is for product page, this simple snippet will display link with manufacturer name associated with product. Guide is based on prestashop 1.6 and 1.5.
Link to manufacturer on product page
We are able to add link to manufacturer without touching prestashop core. In this case we will edit only template file named product.tpl. File is located in your theme directory. For default prestashop template: default-bootstrap location of file is: /themes/default-bootstrap/product.tpl. So, please open it.
There where you want to display link to manufacturer (an anchor with manufacturer name) just use this code:
<a href="{$link->getManufacturerLink($product->id_manufacturer)}"> {$product->manufacturer_name|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'} </a>
After that - just save changes. Then refresh your website. If you don't see link anywhere on product page - it probably means that you have to recompile theme / clear smarty cache.
