    Default Add Manufacturer Name to Product page

    I am using:

    Version (Code/DB): AspDotNetStorefront ML 8.0.1.2/8.0.1.2

    My product pages are using product.SimpleProduct.xml.config xml package. I would figure there would be a real simple solution like getmlvalue(Manufacturer) or something but there is not. I have tried following:

    However, it is not working for me, any guidance would be appreciated. Thank you!

    I have posted a nice guide on this thread

    It works in ver 8 and ver 9 as it is all purely inside the XML package. If you still have problems I will try and help out.

    Default grid

    Thank you! Works perfectly however, I can't get it to pull the manufacturer's name inside the grid layout. So it would be the entity.grid.xml.config file I can not get it to work in, had no problems inserting it into product.SimpleProduct.xml.config

    Thank you again for all your help saved me a lot of time and headache!

    Hm inside our entity page in the Product template we was able to use
    Code:
    <xsl:value-of select="aspdnsf:GetMLValue(ManufacturerName)" disable-output-escaping="yes"/>
    Our product SQL is just the standard one shipped with ASP, see if that works for you?

    Default Thank you!

    You are amazing, thank you! I wonder why we couldn't use the getmlvalue() on the product page? The reason I would think it should work I believe that the xslextensionbase or whatever it is that is being run with the getmlvalue() has it's own sql script. I am going to see if that will work. I know that to pull the image and link it has to be done the way you originally showed me.

    You have made my life so much easier, I appreciate the help! Everything works exactly how we were wanting!

    Default getmlvalue()

    I just double checked and the getmlvalue only works in the entity page and not in other config files. Regardless, thank you for a solution for both
