Turn off Manufacturers Homepage link

Hi,
I've turned our Manufacturers Info sidebox into a size chart.

I would like to remove the link below that takes you to the Manufacturers Homepage.

At the moment it just takes me back to our homepage, but I'd like it gone altogether.
Thanks for your input! :)

Re: Turn off Manufacturers Homepage link

you mean
"For more information, please visit this product's ( manufacturer link ) ???

if so , this link appears on your product info page when you create products and add the link to manufacturer home page..

in admin > Catalog > Category/products . .

select the product to modify ..

locate text field for Products URL:
(without http://) which is at the bottom of the page and remove the link and save the page.

Re: Turn off Manufacturers Homepage link

I've turned our Manufacturers Info sidebox into a size chart.

A bit more information on how you did that would be helpful.

Please do not PM for support issues: a private solution doesn't benefit the community.

Be careful with unsolicited advice via email or PM - Make sure the person you are talking to is a reliable source.

Thanks,
Here's a link to a sample page...

The size chart is on the right.

The manufacturers link is in the size chart at the bottom.
(the one id like to remove)

Thanks for any input...

Re: Turn off Manufacturers Homepage link

This looks like a custom sidebox. You would have to edit the side box contents either in the code or the hard code ever which it is built with and remove the manufacture link from it.

This will remove the link from your size chart sidebox.

Are you using the blank sidebox module from the downloads?

Thanks very much knuckle.
It could be the blank sidebox module...I edited most of it ages ago, with nearly no idea what I was doing at the time.
I'll go see what I come up with...
Cheers

Re: Turn off Manufacturers Homepage link

I would download the module here http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&products_id=174 follow its structure within the files and check each file for the information.

Fist place to check would be includes\languages\english\extra_definitions\blank_sidebox_defines.php

Re: Turn off Manufacturers Homepage link

I've remembered now that it is just the Manufacturers info box, as I'd first thought.
All Ive done is rename it.
When a product has a manufacturer selected, that's the box that pops up. Is this not a normal zen-cart box?

Re: Turn off Manufacturers Homepage link

It could be the sidebox for sponsors.

Did you turn off the manufacture sidebox and see if that link goes away or the sidebox itself that contains the information?

If not turn off the manufactures sidebox and see if the link goes away or the whole sidebox.

Ive turned it off and the whole box goes away.
So now we know which it is, I just need to find out how to remove the link inside it...
