How do I show Manufacturers on all pages?

I bet this is easy for someone, but I can't find the answer.

Right now, I have the list of Manufacturers on the left side-bar. But, it doesn't show up on the home page. Where would I find this setting? As soon as I click on a category, it is there. Just not the home page.

Thanks for any help.

Re: How do I show Manufacturers on all pages?

P.S. I'm doing an art site and using the "manufacturers" as a place for the "artists". So, if that helps anyone, that's what I'm doing.

Re: How do I show Manufacturers on all pages?

Have you added any add-ons or customized the code?

The Manufacturer sidebox is designed to show on all pages ...

Have you checked if it shows if you switch to the Classic Template?

Re: How do I show Manufacturers on all pages?

I am using the Orange template by Grupa. I just checked and the classic template and it acts the same way. The only addons I put in were Fedex for shipping I think.

The only think I changed, was I did try to add/change some code to make the scroll area into links - but it didn't work. But, now it's been so long, I don't remember where I got that code to change it back. If you think that might be the problem, I'll try to track it down.

Any other ideas? Here is the site link if you think it will help:

Re: How do I show Manufacturers on all pages?

I would look in the sidebox to see if something has been altered in the code:
/includes/modules/sideboxes/manufacturers.php
/includes/modules/sideboxes/your_template_dir/manufacturers.php

And see if something has been changed to hide the sidebox on the main page ...

Re: How do I show Manufacturers on all pages?

What you have turned on is the manufacturers info box, which shows info about the manufacturer of the current product. That's why it only appears on the products page.

I think that the box you actually want is the normal manufacturers sidebox available from the Admin > Tools > Layout Box Controller screen.

Re: How do I show Manufacturers on all pages?

YAY! YAY! YAY!

It's fixed! I still need to figure out how to make it a normal list (and not the scroll one), but I replaced the manufacturers.php file with the original and now it works. Obviously, I screwed something up and forgot I did it.

Thank you SO much guys!

To change it to a list, replace the normal manufacturers sidebox with this one.
