    As far I as I know this isn't an issue with my CSS.
    The layout of the count is determined by lines 23-25 of the tpl_manufacturers_list.php template.

    To move this inside of the hyperlink, just move them to before line 22 (which closes that link).

    Currently they are set to be two spaces (each space is a " ") to the right of the manufacturer's name. If they are appearing below that suggests that the box is too narrow for them to fit on the same line.

    Moving them inside the hyperlink might resolve this - I have a suspicion that the links may not wrap, but would then overflow the box, or at least bite into its padding. Alternatively you could remove one of the spaces and see if that's enough to bring them back onto the same line.

    I would like to break up the manufacturers list into sub-lists. For example: Vacuum Products and Sewing Products. I am using manufacturers_list_sidebox_3-0 with the current zencart release. I am very new to zencart as well as php and css so please...go slow. Thanks.

    Sounds simple doesn't it? Unfortunately it's not.

    The complexity is in the database query that you would need to write. The manufacturers table from which the data is drawn knows nothing about the types of products supplied by each manufacturer and so has no way of knowing which would go under which (or both) of your two headings.

    So you would need to write a SQL query to join several database base tables to get the information needed together in one place, and then use PHP to sort through it.

    There's not a slow or easy path through this. It would require at least intermediate level knowledge of SQL and Zen Cart's product and category table structures as well as information specific to your category structure. The PHP would be relatively straightforward, though a little more than beginner level.

    Wow...Yuk. Ok, thanks for your input. At least now I can stop looking for ways to accomplish it.

    I want to be able to use my htaccess mod rewrite rule for some of the manufacturers in my sidebox.. could you tell me if this is possible?

    For example instead of

    site.com/index.php?main_page=index&manufacturers_id=10

    I would want the link to be site.com/brand

    I have already configured my htaccess the right way, but now I need to make the adjustment to your contribution...

    Hi
    Please could someone have a look at the manufacturer sidebox I have here: www.jabulanappies.co.uk and tell me why the box doesn't go all the way round? i.e. there is a gap at the top...
    Any ideas? (I'm using future zen template).
    It's a really useful mod though, just want to tidy up the box...

    It's not actually a problem with the box but with the template. (I'm not trying to shift blame, honest, I wrote both!)

    The image that is supplied with the template isn't long enough for the length of box that you have. However, it is possible to download the image source files from the downloads area and make it longer.

    Hello there,

    Can this be turned to a manufacturer's page instead?

    Thx
