I need to display on the manufacturers page only the first 3 positions. How can they be limited? Now they are displayed in alphabetical order (according to the standard). I would be grateful for the help.

I need to display any 3 manufacturers on the product main page. I decided to do this with the help of a module that I made myself. The principle of operation of the module is simple - it completely copies the functionality of the manufacturer_list page, therefore, it displays on my homepage all manufacturers. An example of what now turns out here http://www.mactedesign.com/ (as you can see, they go in a row and there are a lot of them, and I need only 3).

The controller code of the manufacturers.php module:

<?php class ControllerModuleManufacturers extends Controller { public function index() { $this->load->language('product/manufacturer'); $data['heading_title'] = $this->language->get('heading_title'); $data['text_brands'] = $this->language->get('text_brands'); $data['text_index'] = $this->language->get('text_index'); $data['brands'] = array(); $this->load->model('catalog/manufacturer'); $results = $this->model_catalog_manufacturer->getManufacturersByOrder(); //echo "<pre>"; print_r($setting); $this->load->model('tool/image'); foreach ($results as $result) { if (is_numeric(utf8_substr($result['name'], 0, 1))) { $key = '0 - 9'; } else { $key = utf8_substr(utf8_strtoupper($result['name']), 0, 1); } if (!isset($data['brands'][$key])) { $data['brands'][$key]['name'] = $key; } $data['brands'][$key]['manufacturer'][] = array( 'name' => $result['name'], 'image' => $this->model_tool_image->resize($result['image'], $this->config->get('config_image_thumb_width'), $this->config->get('config_image_thumb_height')), 'href' => $this->url->link('product/manufacturer/info', 'manufacturer_id=' . $result['manufacturer_id']), 'limit' => 3 ); } if (file_exists(DIR_TEMPLATE . $this->config->get('config_template') . '/template/module/manufacturers.tpl')) { return $this->load->view($this->config->get('config_template') . '/template/module/manufacturers.tpl', $data); } else { return $this->load->view('default/template/module/manufacturers.tpl', $data); } } }

Module output template code:

 <h3>Top Catalogue</h3> <div id="manu" class="owl-carouse"> <?php if ($brands) { ?> <?php foreach ($brands as $brand) { ?> <?php if ($brand[ 'manufacturer']) { ?> <?php foreach ($brand[ 'manufacturer'] as $manufacturer) { ?> <div class="item text-center"> <a href="<?php echo $manufacturer['href']; ?>"><img src="<?php echo $manufacturer['image']; ?>" class="img-responsive"></a> <?php echo $manufacturer[ 'name']; ?> </div> <?php } ?> <?php } ?> <?php } ?> <?php } ?> </div>

  • Add a sample code that shows 1) Data 2) what you do with them. Well, if you want screenshots or sample output as you need. Without an explicit code sample, few people will decide to help you. your question does not contain "anchors" - alexoander
  • Now add the code in the post - Alexander

Simple, "clumsy" option:

 $count = 0; foreach ($results as $result) { if (is_numeric(utf8_substr($result['name'], 0, 1))) { $key = '0 - 9'; } else { $key = utf8_substr(utf8_strtoupper($result['name']), 0, 1); } if (!isset($data['brands'][$key])) { $data['brands'][$key]['name'] = $key; } $data['brands'][$key]['manufacturer'][] = array( 'name' => $result['name'], 'image' => $this->model_tool_image->resize($result['image'], $this->config->get('config_image_thumb_width'), $this->config->get('config_image_thumb_height')), 'href' => $this->url->link('product/manufacturer/info', 'manufacturer_id=' . $result['manufacturer_id']), 'limit' => 3 ); $count++; if ($count >= 3) { break; } }
