manufacturer heading

Hi all, I am trying to change the color and background color of the manufacturer heading and sidebox. The heading is a label but when I change this to colour I want in the css it changes elsewhere which I do not want. Hope to hear. Thanks:smile:

Exactly what style rules are you using to make your changes? You can limit the effect to one sidebox by using its id in the rule selector. Seeing your site live would allow us to give complete, correct advice.

Hi gjh42, here is link.

I am in the sideboxes/tpl_manufacturers_select.php file at the moment and have made a few changes that has given the effect you can see but mainly just want to change the text color of the heading, shouldn't be this tricky, I appreciate any help, thanks. (oh and any feedback on site too, cheers!.)

There are no sideboxes visible while you are down for maintenance. There should be no need to edit the PHP file at all if you just want to change colors, fonts, etc. All of that can and should be done in the stylesheet.

I know but have tried CSS and put in different divs to get around it but nothing. seems manufacturer heading is seen as label and thus the label seems to have just one setting in this case??

You can control it with CSS alone, but I need to see it (out of maintenance mode) to advise the correct rules.

I have taking the download for maintenance off for the moment.

Hi,
I have installed zencart just two days back and i am stuck in the very first thing.
I want to have the manufacturers box visible but it is not happening. I have tried the tools->layout box controller. But any change is not visible.
Also how do i display my products in row/column format in the home page?

Pls help

Hi have you any data in the manufacturer table? Look at Maximum values under Config. you need to install mod to get your products displaying in column grid layout see here http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&products_id=77

Thanks for the add on modules. Never knew they existed!
where is the Config file located?
I am also considering installing a template instead of changing the classic one. Will it be a good idea?

Hi gjh42, the site is now live for you to see here

where is the Config file located?Admin > Configuration > Maximum Values

I am also considering installing a template instead of changing the classic one. Will it be a good idea?That depends on what you want your site to do, and the template you install. Some commercial templates are rigidly constructed and make it hard to further customize, or sometimes even hard to use standard Zen Cart functions. Research anything you are thinking of buying.

Hijacking someone else's thread is not good form, by the way - you should have started your own.

Thanks, I'll look at it now:)

Add to your stylesheet (anywhere)

#manufacturersHeading label {color: #aabbcc;}

Adjust to taste, and add other properties if you want.

thanks, I tried that and it works great but just noticed something all my pages seem to be linked to the category, not sure what has happened if you see the offers page for e.g. you see what I mean. I installed the feature category mod and wondering if its that or all the playing around I have been doing with css to try and get the height of sidebox heading right??? any ideas

CSS will not affect what your pages link to. I would investigate the mod you installed if you are having undesired effects.

cheers, you are right was my own messing about in the end, had for some reason put a hyperlink in the mainpage.tpl (not sure what I was at myself) all okay now thanks.:clap:

I agree but I could not find any place to start a new thread!
I know this sounds stupid :(
