remove manufacturer drop down box (index.php)

[spencermjax]

anyone know how to remove the "Show:" manufacturer drop down box on the index page?

You mean the one in the left column? Edit catalog/includes/column_left.php and remove:

  if ((USE_CACHE == 'true') && empty($SID)) {
   echo tep_cache_manufacturers_box();
 } else {
   include(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'manufacturers.php');
 }

no the one at the top of the index.php page

That's a custom addition, not in the stock osCommerce. You'll have to ask wherever you got that modification from, or study the index.php code to see where it comes from.

I just did some playing around and figured out that if I select "manufacturer --none--" for all products when entering the product into the system, the box does not appear. it shows up when I select a cubcategory that has products with different manufacturers. so if the sub category has 3 items with the same manufacturer or no manufacturer listed thenthe dropdown box is not there.

 

Thanks for the help anyway.
