Hi everyone,

This is my first post. I have a small problem with manufacturer box in oscommerce. I want it to be in a listed form like categories box. Plz someone hwlp me out with this.

Change this in your maximum values settings in Admin. I can't remember exactly what it is called so have a play in there and see how you get on.

 

You can see an example of how the manufacturer box looks at my own site (which is a work in progress), which is http://www.a1jewelrystore.com/

Hi burt,

Thanks for your suggestion. I tried changing the maximum values in admin but couldn't find a solution. Then i wrote a new function in html_output.php, the code goes like this:

 

function tep_draw_table_menu($name, $values, $page_to_link = FILENAME_DEFAULT, $required = false) {

$field = '<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">';

if (empty($default) && isset($GLOBALS[$name])) $default = stripslashes($GLOBALS[$name]);

for ($i=0, $n=sizeof($values); $i<$n; $i++) {

$field .= '<tr>

<td class="CatagoriesBoxContents"><a href="' . tep_href_link($page_to_link, 'manufacturer_id= ' . tep_output_string($values[$i]['id']) . '">' . tep_output_string($values[$i]['text'], array('"' => '"', '\'' => ''', '<' => '<', '>' => '>')) . '</a></td>

</tr>';

 

}

$field .= '</table>';

 

if ($required == true) $field .= TEXT_FIELD_REQUIRED;

 

return $field;

}

also changed a little code in manufacturers.php like this,

$info_box_contents[] = array('text' => tep_draw_table_menu('manufacturers_id', $manufacturers_array, FILENAME_DEFAULT)); last few lines.

but i am getting errors.

Plz could you suggest me on this. I want it the same way as it's on your site

Hi

 

Configuration > Maximum Values > Manufacturers List

 

Change this to a high number.

Does anyone know how to remove the manufacturer box from the site?

Which file needs editing?
