While working on some site I came across a bug in Special product page. If we have turned manufacturer name on in product listing, the link generated on the name is missing the manufacturer id value. The invalid link created looks like this http://demos.creloaded.com/creloaded_ce/index.php?manufacturers_id= on page https://demos.creloaded.com/creloaded_ce/specials.php.

I found this in cre loaded Pro 6.4.0, but when confirmed it exists in Community edition as well. I guess this issue may exist on other pages like “new products page”.

The manufacturer name can be turned on from Admin > Configuration > Product Listing > Display Product Manufacturer Name.

If you are using SEO URLs addon this bug can cause you a lot because it will generate unwanted link to your home page.

There are two ways of fixing the issue, one is to wait for fix release of which was expected in August but still not here, i am not sure if this bug will be fixed or not. Second fix is simple one, and can be found at Product listing bug fix in CRE Loaded.
