Hello,

in this template there is a manufacturer-module on the frontpage that shows logos of manufacturers.
The Problem is it does not show images or links from the Virtuemart manufacturers.
That means if i want to display something i have to create dozens of single articles für each manufacturer, while they are all present in Virtuemart.
Second is that because of this there exists no link to view all manufacturer products.
So for what is it? Why does it not link to the VM manufacturers?
Is there a way to choose the VM manufacturers as source?

Thanks
Till

Hi

This is a News Show Pro module and is linking to articles about manufacturers. If You need a module picking up manufacturers from VM than try to search for one. Here is couple of modules you may use proposed by joomla: http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions ... rer&filter[tags][]=&filter[core_catid]=&filter[includes]=&filter[versions]=&filter[type]=&filter[hasdemo]=&filter[newupdated]=&filter[score]=&dir=DESC&limitstart=&controller=filter&view=extension&layout=list&Itemid=145&clearorders=0&clearfilters=1

Thanks for your reply!
Sorry but this is really misleading - i suppose everyone who buys this template for VM with a manufacturer-modul on the front page expects that it will link to the manufacturer/the manufacturer products of Virtuemart. Just like it is used in Virtuemart.
In your demo it is not obvious because happily it is not linked anyway. So customers cant see where it is linked to.
This makes no sense in my eyes - specially because all manufacturers are present in VM?

Is there really no way to use the VM manufacturers as source for the module?

Your link is not working - which of the modules is your favourite?

Thanks

Hi

Sorry for that. But our module is poinitng to articles about manufacturers which also can be a useful thing. In VM You can only present some informations about manufacturers and using joomla regular articles or K2 You have a lot more options to present this informations.

I would suggest to use standard VM manufacturer module which came with VM installation, but it will not have a rotator for images.
