Has anyone ever created a page that lists all the manufacturers? What I am wanting to do here is have link to a page - we'll call it "Brands Showcase" I basically want to pull the list of manufacturers from the db and list them either by name or available image, basically in a grid like format, each link/image clickable to list the products by that manufacturer much like the link does in the side box.

The other thing I'm thinking.. is currently when you do click the link for the manufacturer, the Mfg's name is listed as the header. I'd like to figure a way to create a header much like a category - with the mfg's logo and a description box.

If anyone has any ideas or helpful starting points on creating these two mods.... I would sure be appreciative.
