Using Manufacturers Images In Sidebox

Hi everyone,

Been asked by a customer to change the Manufacturers menu to a list one, did that ok but now he wants me to use the Manufacturers Images instead. I'm stuck, can anyone help?

thanks

Andy.

<?php $content = ""; $content .= '<div id="' . str_replace('_', '-', $box_id . 'Content') . '" class="sideBoxContent">' . "\n"; $content .= '<div class="betterCategories"><a class="' . $new_style . '" href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT, $box_categories_array[$i]['path']) . '">'; for($i = 1; $i < count($manufacturer_sidebox_array); $i++) { $content .= '<a href="index.php?manufacturers_id=' . $manufacturer_sidebox_array[$i]['id'] . '&main_page=index">'; $content .= $manufacturer_sidebox_array[$i]['text']; $content .= "</a>\n<br />\n"; } ?>

This is the current code which produces the 'list'

You'd have to alter the module, not just the template.

add m.manufacturers_image to the 2 select statements:```
select m.manufacturers_id, m.manufacturers_name...


- change the array contents that's displayed via the template to use the image:

$manufacturer_sidebox_array[] = array('id' => '', 'text' => zen_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $manufacturer_sidebox->fields['manufacturers_image'], $manufacturer_sidebox->fields['manufacturers_name']) );

Re: Using Manufacturers Images In Sidebox

Followed both posts and now I get a list of No Picture available for each of my manufacturers.
I understand that the code needs to point to the right folder where my images are but what do I have to change in the code for that?
My images are in image/manufacturers/logo_name.gif
Could someone help please :cool:
