prestashop layered navigation block - prestashop

normally layered navigation block is only displayed on a few pages like category page, search pages. However I want to show it in the "manufacturer" page/controller. If someone clicks the "manufacturer" menu to show up all the manufacturers, I want to show the "layered navigation" on the left column of the manufaturer controller.
Does someone know how to do that ?
I am using prestashop 1.5.6.2 and a premium responsive 3 column theme.
I would appreciate any help. Thanks.

I want update this topic because now the addon to handle filtering on manufacturer product pages is available on official prestashop addons store and works perfectly :
Download blocklayeredmanufacturer module here
Best Regards

Integrate search bar (like in product controller for packs) in custom module controller

I'm facing an issue when I'm try to integrate the same search bar as the one in product controller for product packs.
(this one)
I've been scrolling through the whole product controller but didn't find where the search bar is rendered.
I found few parts nearly related of the input in product.js, but nothing really interesting.
What I'm trying to do is implement the same search bar with product suggestions, I will find out later how to "save" it like in product controller when you create a pack.
Backoffice product page had been migrated in Symfony, form is built in a twig template inside:
src/PrestaShopBundle/Resources/views/Admin/Product/ProductPage/Panels/essentials.html.twig
src/PrestaShopBundle/Resources/views/Admin/Product/form.html.twig
While JS handler is here :
admin/themes/new-theme/js/product-page/product-search-autocomplete.js

Show Prestashop Layered Navigation Block and All Products on Home Page

I am creating an e-commerce website on the platform of prestashop. I tried various ways to to show the product filters i.e. Layered Navigation Block to appear on the home page. How can I do this ? I'm using the default theme of Prestashop.
Also, on the home page, only a few products are being displayed. For Example, only the popular and the best seller products are being displayed. Instead, I wish to display all the products on the home page. How can I do this ?
You can try to use "Home featured products" and set a necessary number of products to display in it in order to show more products on your homepage. It is the simplest way to solve your requirements with products, in another case you need to use some third-party modules to do it. What about the second point, you can't use default Layered Navigation Module outside the Category pages so you also need a third-party module to do this or need to make some development to the module.

how to add navigation bar at top of the website in shopify?

I’m looking for answers regarding Shopify.how to add navigation bar at top of the website in shopify?? for example: i want to add phone no and email id at top of the website in shopify please help me how to do this ?
Thank in advance !!
The answer is going to be highly dependent on your theme - some templates have a space for a message at the top which can be set via the admin, and some templates don't.
For example, the Minimal theme has a setting in Customize Theme->Header called "Top bar text". Debut has an "Announcement Text" setting in the same place.
If your theme does not have such as facility, and you are willing to modify code, go to Customize Theme->More Actions->Edit Code, then go to Sections->header.liquid, and change that.

Prestashop : Adding a field to choose Shipping carrier in product page front office

I'm using PrestaShop 1.5.5.0.
I want to add a custom check box list to the product page so a customer can choose shipping carrier on the product details page. Can it be possible ? I can add a specific fields in the product details page. As I'm new it's little difficult for me to figure out how can I add other details and carry the values to the order page and that is also dynamically. Is there any module available by which I can accomplish the task ? Please suggest me.
What I want to do is this : Choosing shipping carrier in product page :

Well It's a tough task. You need to work on the controller if you want to carry the values or create a module like shipping estimate and hook it to the product page that might work.

Display featured products on category page PRESTASHOP

I just want to show some featured products on each category page (not home page).
I thought to use features or tags. So in the back, I add to the products I want to show a "featured" tag or feature. And then in the front on each category page I display the products of that category that have that tag or feature.
What do you think is easier? and how can I achieve this? I am so lost, so I'd appreciate any guidance.
Thanks guys
Here is how I would do this:
Create a module (obviously) to extend the product class and add a featured field (as a boolean, you can also use a position field if you want to manage something like that)
Within the module it's easy to override the admin controller to add a checkbox somewhere
On the category page, create a hook to display the featured product, or just override the categoryController to get them.
And voilà! It's really easy. I just give you the steps as I won't write the code for you :) but if you need more advices feel free to ask
