Add the following code to catalog/controller/common/header.php
1// MANUFACTURERS
2$this->load->model('catalog/manufacturer');
3
4$data['manufacturers'] = $this->model_catalog_manufacturer->getManufacturers(0);
Now in your catalog/view/common/header.tpl, you can use a foreach loop to get all the manufacturers out of the array
1<?php if ($manufacturers) {
2 foreach($manufacturers as $manufacturer) { ?>
3 <a href="index.php?route=product/manufacturer/info&manufacturer_id=<?php echo $manufacturer['manufacturer_id']; ?>"><img src="<?php echo $manufacturer['image']; ?>" alt="<?php echo $manufacturer['name']; ?>" /></a>
4 <?php } ?>
5<?php } ?>
The getManufacturers() method provides an array of arrays, with the following details
10 =>
2array (
3 'manufacturer_id' => '8',
4 'name' => 'Apple',
5 'image' => 'catalog/demo/apple_logo.jpg',
6 'sort_order' => '0',
7 'store_id' => '0',
8),
It then gets passed along to the template as part of $data
