Moving Drop Down Menu

[stephena]

I think i posted this in the wrong thread before and got no reply....

 

I am trying to move the drop down menu on the left hand site of the default OScommerce cart. I have borrowed the code from the boxes/manufacturers.php and i am trying to remove the formatting so that all i have is the drop down box, no border, no background, just the drop down menu.

 

I am fairly new to PHP and very new to OScommerce so be gentle with me. Here's my code so far:

 

CODE<?php

/*

$Id: manufacturers.php,v 1.19 2003/06/09 22:17:13 hpdl Exp $

 

osCommerce, Open Source E-Commerce Solutions

$manufacturers_query = tep_db_query("select manufacturers_id, manufacturers_name from " . TABLE_MANUFACTURERS . " order by manufacturers_name");

if ($number_of_rows = tep_db_num_rows($manufacturers_query)) {

?>

<!-- manufacturers //-->

<?php

//$info_box_contents = array();

//$info_box_contents[] = array('text' => BOX_HEADING_MANUFACTURERS);

 

//new infoBoxHeading($info_box_contents, false, false);

 

if ($number_of_rows <= MAX_DISPLAY_MANUFACTURERS_IN_A_LIST) {

// Display a list

$manufacturers_list = '';

while ($manufacturers = tep_db_fetch_array($manufacturers_query)) {

$manufacturers_name = ((strlen($manufacturers['manufacturers_name']) > MAX_DISPLAY_MANUFACTURER_NAME_LEN) ? substr($manufacturers['manufacturers_name'], 0, MAX_DISPLAY_MANUFACTURER_NAME_LEN) . '..' : $manufacturers['manufacturers_name']);

if (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['manufacturers_id']) && ($HTTP_GET_VARS['manufacturers_id'] == $manufacturers['manufacturers_id'])) $manufacturers_name = '<b>' . $manufacturers_name .'</b>';

$manufacturers_list .= '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT, 'manufacturers_id=' . $manufacturers['manufacturers_id']) . '">' . $manufacturers_name . '</a>';

}

 

$manufacturers_list = substr($manufacturers_list, 0, -4);

 

$info_box_contents = array();

$info_box_contents[] = array('text' => $manufacturers_list);

} else {

// Display a drop-down

$manufacturers_array = array();

if (MAX_MANUFACTURERS_LIST < 2) {

$manufacturers_array[] = array('id' => '', 'text' => PULL_DOWN_DEFAULT);

}

 

while ($manufacturers = tep_db_fetch_array($manufacturers_query)) {

$manufacturers_name = ((strlen($manufacturers['manufacturers_name']) > MAX_DISPLAY_MANUFACTURER_NAME_LEN) ? substr($manufacturers['manufacturers_name'], 0, MAX_DISPLAY_MANUFACTURER_NAME_LEN) . '..' : $manufacturers['manufacturers_name']);

$manufacturers_array[] = array('id' => $manufacturers['manufacturers_id'],

'text' => $manufacturers_name);

}

 

$info_box_contents = array();

$info_box_contents[] = array('form' => tep_draw_form('manufacturers', tep_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT, '', 'NONSSL', false), 'get'),

'text' => tep_draw_pull_down_menu('manufacturers_id', $manufacturers_array, (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['manufacturers_id']) ? $HTTP_GET_VARS['manufacturers_id'] : ''), 'onChange="this.form.submit();" size="' . MAX_MANUFACTURERS_LIST . '" style="width: 100"') . tep_hide_session_id());

}

 

new infoBox($info_box_contents);

?>

<!-- manufacturers_eof //-->

<?php

}

?>

 

 

Bascially which lines should i strip out from the above? Thanks in advance

It is hard for me to see what you are doing. I took my own manufacturers.php and removed it from the box and I put it in a table. But I couldn't get onChange="this.form.submit(); to display in my page source. When I selected a manufacturer it did nothing so I added a submit button. Thats all I could do so far. Have a look at my code and see what you can do with it. What I did was, I pulled the information out of an array so it will dispay on the page(best I can do).

Just what i was looking for thankyou!!!!

[stephena]

I am trying to the same with the search box (last one i promise) i have tried to adapt the code as you did for the manufacturers menu but i am still unable to remove the box style around the form.

 

Any guidance greatly appreciated

You almost have to comment out everything. You have to pull the information out of the $info_box_contents array and format it to echo. Otherwise the "new infoBox($info_box_contents);" will format it to display in a box. I don't know if that will make sense to you.
