Advanced search Limit the manufacturers list

[ladyink]

I found where to limit the side box manufacturers list to manufacturers that have products attached.

How can I do that same thing with the "advanced search" manufacturers list?

Thanks

Using your templates and overrides, edit the file:
/includes/templates/template_default/templates/tpl_advanced_search_default.php

copy it to your templates and overrides:
/includes/templates/your_template_dir/templates/tpl_advanced_search_default.php

and locate the line around 41 that reads:

    <?php echo zen_draw_pull_down_menu('manufacturers_id', zen_get_manufacturers(array(array('id' => '', 'text' => TEXT_ALL_MANUFACTURERS))), $sData['manufacturers_id']); ?>

and change the line to read:

    <?php echo zen_draw_pull_down_menu('manufacturers_id', zen_get_manufacturers(array(array('id' => '', 'text' => TEXT_ALL_MANUFACTURERS)), PRODUCTS_MANUFACTURERS_STATUS), $sData['manufacturers_id']); ?>

and it will match the way the sidebox works from the setting in the Configuration ... Maximum Values ...

Verify that at least 1 product exists and is active for the manufacturer name to show
