You really have enlightened me (and others I am sure) on CSS -- I can see Zen from here....not there yet...but ever so much closer

    Thanks
    1em = the current font size. The default font size for browsers is equivalent to 16px. Many sites, Zen Cart included, then reset this in their body tag to 62.5%. that reduces the default font size to 10px and so 1em becomes equal to 10px, 1.2em = 12px etc.

    However, if you reset the em for a div, everything inside it will take the new value and if you do it again for something inside the effect will be multiplicative. So for example, if you changed font size to 2em (20px) for a wrapper and then set the font-size for a piece of text inside that wrapper to 1.5em, the resulting text would not reduce to 15px, but increase to 30px.

    Impossible to diagnose without seeing, but I'd take a look at what you have in your previous box. This sounds like an <a> tag not being closed in an earlier sidebox and carrying on until it find the next </a>, and very unlikely to be anything to do with this mod.

    Thanks Kuroi -

    nuts and bolts understanding of CSS coming together thanks to you.
    ---
    I'm not sure what you mean by
    an <a> tag not being closed in an earlier sidebox
    could one of the other contributed sideboxes be impacting this sidebox? wow. I will look. Login sidebox had a glitch regarding making links on words that shouldn't have link - which in turn could have been caused by another box... maybe it's going to be a bit of a do over and uninstall some contributions.


    Mfg List header link id'd by FireBug (my new best friend) as

    <h3 id="manufacturerslistHeading" class="rightBoxHeading">
    <a _moz-rs-heading="" href="http://localhost/blahblahblah/index.php?main_page=product_info&product_id= numberX&zenid=xxxxxxx...
    "_moz-rs-heading" search on google - suggested a few things but nothing definitive. it might be added by Firebug when there is an html error - something about <a> tags round block elements --- another site referred to it as "pseudo-attribute-selector"

    I did change the name 'manufacturer' in english.php
    define('BOX_HEADING_MANUFACTURERS', 'somethingelse);
    but not anywhere else and I don't think that is going to affect anything.

    it is all just too weird but it is sort of a important bothersome issue - the sidebox mfg list is going to be a prominent feature of the site...

    Thanks for the support - if I uncover a solution I will post. If anyone recognizes what might be going on I'd appreciate a word or two.

    Hi - I am pleased to announce that the problem is coming from another contributed sidebox. Once I diagnose whether I did it in edits or it came from them I'll let that forum know.

    Thanks for the help - the one sidebox affecting another is something we mere mortals wouldn't have expected...

    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?

    Apologies, only just seen your question. This can be done and isn't too difficult, but would require some programming in PHP. I've seen this done on other sites and have added it to my todo list. But if you need it in a hurry and aren't ready to learn some PHP, I'd recommend the commercial help wanted section of this site.

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

    Kuroi,

    I'm trying to attain something similar to my old layout here, but by using this manufacturer list mod. I previously created subcategories for each manufacturer, and that threw in a whole lot of strife in terms of duplicated content and everything else.

    Currently I'm at this stage, where you can see the manufacturer list poking out the back of the top of the type column.

    The entire left column has been set to display:none and I'm getting the manufacturer box to display in its current form by calling it in my /includes/templates/your_template/templates/tpl_index_categories.php through this code:
    PHP Code:
    * @version $Id: tpl_index_categories.php 4678 2006-10-05 21:02:50Z ajeh $
     */
    ?>
    <div class="centerColumn" id="indexCategories">
    <?php if ($cPath == '1' or $cPath == '2') { //show 3 subcat boxes
      
    require(DIR_WS_MODULES 'sideboxes/categories.php');
      require(
    DIR_WS_MODULES 'sideboxes/your_template/manufacturers_list.php');
    } else { 
    //standard output ?>
    <?php 
    if ($show_welcome == true) { ?>
    <h1 id="indexCategoriesHeading"><?php echo HEADING_TITLE?></h1>
    So, the manufacturer list appears in the main body of the page, but it is without a unique div id, so I can't style it in CSS.

    Any recommendations? The code I am using to call the manufacturers list is seen in this post by gjh.

    Thanks for any help!
