    Default Simple manufacturer list to replace scrolling list - add-on

    This is a very simple add-on consisting of a new template file, a new module file and a couple of lines of CSS to provide an alternative to the default scrolling list and display a simple vertical list of links.

    Download here:
    http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?ma...roducts_id=262

    In addition to its obvious function, it doubles as an easily-grasped example of the over-ride system in action for anybody finding this aspect of Zen Cart challenging (i.e. all of us at some stage on our path to Zen Cart enlightenment).

    This add-on has a wiki page which should be the first place to check if you have installation problems or questions about it. If they are not answered in the wiki, support questions can be posted here.

    How would we go about making this a custom page or footer rather than a sidebox?

    I'm experiencing exactly the same thing. Install, including the script add-on in the styleshhet, admin/tools/layout box controller Sees the module but Nothing visible in the store.

    I see this was released last Sept or so. That would be what, Zen version 1.3.4? Could there be a change that is generating this non-error?

    I'm running 1.3.6. virtualahmad, what about you?

    MeltDown, I'm running 1.3.6 and 1.3.7 and 1.2.6 and 1.3.7 and 1.3.7 and.....

    but none of my installs are using this mod. I was only replying with a suggestion that might help with that error.

    Sorry.

    OK, just figured it out. I Knew it was something simple! With such a simple mod, how complicated could it be??

    First you need to add the Manufacturers name & details in admin/catalog/Manufacturers. Then, on the individual product page you must select that Manufacturer from the dropdown list. The mod default is to only display active Manufacturers in the list. None added - Nothing active.

    PS - Be sure and turn off the pre-loaded sideboxes/Manufacturers.php in your admin/tools/layout box controller, as well.

    Tim.

    That's a good explanation. Certainly if you don't have any manufacturers, it will have nothing to show and there is code in there to suppress the box in that case.

    You can however, still list manufacturers who have no associated products (not quite sure why you'd want to, but Zen Cart and this mod will allow it). You'd do this by going to Admin > Configuration > Maximum Values > Manufacturers List - Verify Product Exist and setting it to 0.

    Default Re: Simple manufacturer list to replace scrolling list - add-on now available

    Hi everyone,
    I'm trying to use manufacturers list sidebox but what I would like to have is a list of 10 brands and then another column and another 10 of them next to the first column.
    I would like to place it not as a sidebox but as a bigger box on the bottom of the page as shown on that web site: http://www.cherryculture.com/
    I don't know php enaugh to do it by myself. Can anyone help to solve that problem? I'm pretty much familiar with the structure of that sidebox and zencart. Thanks a lot in advance.

    Could someone direct me to where/how I would change the title "manufacturers" on the manufacturers box?
