manufacturer/category drop down box in product listing page

It isnt showing up for me at all... does anyone have any ideas at all?

I have enabled it in the admin but nothing shows up... all I get is the alpha one.

anyone??

look... I know I didn't give much info... but does that constitute being ignored?

I didn't give much info because I don't have anything more. If someone would give a suggestion or information as to how that part of the site works then maybe I can dig through to get more detailed information. but as of yet I don't know enough about the code to know what could possibly be the problem.

all I know to do is enable the feature in the admin... and I know it can disappear when you shut off the alpha menu. I have BOTH enabled but I still ONLY get the alpha menu.

any help at all would be appreciated.

and still nothing.

well... I created an entire new store with a new database... i populated the database with a few categories, manufacturers, and products... copied ALL the files from my existing store over (basically created a mirror image with a new DB) and the mfg drop down DOES work. I set that new site to use my real database and it stops working.

there is something in the database that is breaking this... now to figure out what it could possibly be... any ideas what the MFG drop down would be related to in the DB? will start by looking that the MFG tables.

it works now.

Did you determine what the cause of the problem was? :smile:

Ajeh:

yup... im an idiot. in the production site I wasn't looking in a category that had multiple manufacturers in it. :)

Gee, none of us has ever made a mistake like that... :lookaroun
