Simple manufacturer list to replace scrolling list - add-on

Sorry for being thick, but how exactly are you meant to remove the bullets and what stylesheet are you meant to change? I tried to add the text to my template stylesheet but nothing changed, bullets are still there. Please could somebody just clarify what stylesheet and what text to add? thank you.

I have just added this mod to my site and followed all the instructions to a T...and yes, I turned it on in the admin/tools/Layout Box Controller...but nothing shows on my site.

I read a bit back where someone else had this issue but never saw a resolution to the issue posted...

Can someone help?

Thanks!

Okay never mind. I figured out that I had to put it in the template I am using instead of using the one for all templates - my site is whacked out and I am in the process of creating a clean install of Zen placing all modifications in the default to use on all templates so I don't have this issue - I wish there were a simpler way but....

Great mod, thanks! I hated that scroll!

I am having this problem too, but only on FF :(

IE seems to be fine?

https://www.black-technology.comTry refreshing your Firefox browser a few times. I find that its "advanced" caching means that it doesn't always pick up small changes to stylesheets immediately, and your manufacturers box looks fine to me in using FF.

Nvm, problem solved, directly edited the tpl_manufacturers_list.php

by replacing:
'<ul>'
with
'<ul style="margin: 0; padding: 0; list-style-type: none;">'

but but but... I saw the tpl_infomation.php it was like that too :(

I just copied it wholesale :P

You are so right. I'll forgive you then and go slap a dev team member's wrist instead. I'm sure that it won't be like that in 1.4!

:wink:

Hi, this is a great mod and it seems to be working well on 1.3.8a =)

I'm only having one issue with the spacing. I wonder if it's caused by the div structure in the code or the CSS. I doubt its the CSS since I've tried to fix it and I am using the same CSS as the "Important Links" section.

Please help me figure out how to get rid of these empty spaces.

My CSS:

#manufacturerslistContent a { 
	color: #000000; 
	font-weight:800; 
	text-decoration: none;
	display: block; 
	padding: 4px 0 4px 0px; 
	height: 1%;
	list-style:none;
	font-size: 12px;
	}
#manufacturerslistContent a:hover     { 
	color: #EEEEEE; 
	font-weight: bold; 
	background-color: #000000; 
	height: 1%; 
	}

Ok, I may be totally off base here, but I thought that once added you could choose if you wanted the Manufacturer's "text" name to show or their logo .... in this store's case, its the Publisher of the comic. I set up the logo for several and plugged in a test comic, but as you can see, it only shows a bullet with the text name, not the Maximum Press logo...

what am I missing? or was I misunderstanding what its supposed to do?:unsure:

Thanks!

I should add that I'm not even sure if my images are the correct size, I took them from my other store, or that I even want the images to show instead of the Publisher's name, but I wanted to see how it looked to compare which I feel is best. Comic guys know those logos like the back of their hands, so I think images would be a great way to go...if it works that way and IF I can get it to work that way !

Version 3 of this mod contains a switch to allow you to choose between textual links or ones based on manufacturers' images / logos.

Well, I'm managed to find everything but the switch mentioned here in this post. Any clue as to where it is? Liz

Actually, no it isn't. I downloaded version 3 twice to be sure. The read me file in version 3 is for version 2. Liz

Zen Cart 1.38a
Manufacturers List Sidebox v3

I'm having an issue with the URL for the manufacturer's list. I can't seem to get the URL to show the manufacturer's name, i.e. "/store/audi". The URL comes up as "store/index/manufacturers_id/2". Is there a reason to it? Thanks for your help.

My other test install that does not have manufacturer list sidebox installed also can't show the manufacturer's name in the URL in the drop-down manufacturer's list.

My question is if anyone knows which file controls the URL creation for the manufacturer's name. I might have installed some other files which rendered this problem. thanks

@Kuroi, thanks for all the cool mods you develop. :clap:

Can you please help me add a number count to the manufacturers? Like how it would be if we were just using categories?

Example:
ZenCart (3)

Sounds like your using one of the SEO URL packages and it's making a mess of the manufacturer URLs in the core code. I would therefore expect it to mangle these too as they're basically the same, just presented differently. Are you willing to name the errant mod?

Example:
ZenCart (3)No I can't. No way. Absolutely not.

(But if you watch the free software add-ons section carefully, you'll see version 4.0 appear with this functionality already built in.)

:wink:

@Kuroi, Thanks for adding this feature so quickly and thanks for helping me get it all sorted out. The new number count is great and works well!

The count is showing up below the manufacturer's name. Not included in the hyperlink. How would I move it up to appear right next to the manu name?

As far I as I know this isn't an issue with my CSS.

Much obliged :yes:
