Manufacturer sidebox is gone!

Hi Guys,
I was trying to change the title of the manufacturer sidebox to Designer. I followed a tutorial I've found in here. I went to my english.php and where indicated I changed the title. after that it's gone.
So I changed it back from designer to manufacturers and it doesn't show up again.
The option at the admin panel is on. I don't understand why it's gone, even after I changed it back to the way it was.

Re: Manufacturer sidebox is gone!

If you have the ORIGINAL english.php (the one BEFORE you changed the manufacturer name) file upload that.

Otherwise compare the english.php file you have now to the original english.php file from a "full fileset" to find the problem ~ use Winerge to do the comparison.

Re: Manufacturer sidebox is gone!

I agree, always make a backup...
But I'm sure you know that.
I've broken mine a couple of times :|

Re: Manufacturer sidebox is gone!

Oh guys it's not working. I restored the original English file and the manufacturer sidebox doesn't show.
I had found this tutorial here and this is what I did. Afterwards my manufacturer sidebox was gone!

How do I change the category (or any other sidebox) title?

CAPITALIZED words refer to a folder or language that you choose. We use CUSTOM for your template and ENGLISH for your language by default. These generic terms should be changed to the name of the template/language you are using.

Look in includes/languages/english.php. Suppose you want the Categories sidebox to have a different title. Look for
define('BOX_HEADING_CATEGORIES', 'Categories');
Changes for additional sideboxes will follow this pattern:
define('BOX_HEADING_XXXXXXXX', 'New Title');
Make the needed changes. Be sure that the single quote marks are not left out.

Save the edited file to includes/languages/CUSTOM/english.php and upload it to your server.

Any advice?

Re: Manufacturer sidebox is gone!

I dont think it's the English.php I just copied it from another copy original zen cart folder and it still doesn't show, this box is very important to me. I went to the zen cart control panel online and it's ON. Is there any other file I should check?

Re: Manufacturer sidebox is gone!

I am having this same problem. I have manufacturers set but no products. Is this the reason the side box will not display?
