I am needing to set up a way to offer sales based on manufacturer. I created a manufacturer category and linked items to other categories and this works, but I need to know if there is another way to do this, as I don't want the manufacturer categories to be listed. I tried to set them as inactive but since the products are linked, they also go inactive in the other categories.

I did as suggested by this thread http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=38365


Thank you for some help!
