Re: Possible to lengthen the Manufacturers Side Box?

If you're looking to change only the width of the Manufacturers side-box and not that of the other side-boxes, it may affect the overall 'balance' of your store's look.

To change the width of all side-boxes in a column via your admin.

Go to Configuration > Layout Settings and adjust the following fields accordingly:

  • Column Width - Left Boxes

  • Column Width - Right Boxes
    You might also want to adapt the width of the columns holding the sideboxes via the following two fields in that screen as well:

  • Column Width - Left

  • Column Width - Right

Width I know. I'm looking to lengthen the box. Make it longer vertically.

Re: Possible to lengthen the Manufacturers Side Box?

If you just want to lengthen the box, say, to add content below the list of manufacturers:
**
#manufacturers {
height:160px;
}**

If you want the list box longer, I'll have to go back to the drawing board.

I was hoping changing the height would also make the list box longer. That is my ultimate goal.

Is that in "stylesheet.css" I couldn't find it. Thanks

Re: Possible to lengthen the Manufacturers Side Box?

Are you also trying to change the number of rows displayed?

This can be done in the Configuration ... Maximum Values ...

Manufacturers List - Scroll Box Size/Style
Number of manufacturers names to be displayed in the scroll box window. Setting this to 1 or 0 will display a dropdown list.

I set the number of rows displayed to 10 in the Manufacturers sidebox and if you click the hyperlink below is what happened. Is the box only written to be a drop down and not just listed out? The drop down menu works fine but I would like to list them out if possible. Thank you for anything to help.

Re: Possible to lengthen the Manufacturers Side Box?

When I change that setting to 10 in my test site, the box shows as a list. The dropdown may be something coded into your TM template. What happens when you temporarily switch back to the Classic template?

Re: Possible to lengthen the Manufacturers Side Box?

personnaly i have found the best option is to use the module display manufacturers as an image to be the best solution this way you just make the images smaller to fit more in
