Manufacturer Link

[wn6]

Hiya,

 

Everything is going great with my install and skinning. Anyway I have put a Manufacturer in and put the web link in, anyway when I click to go to there site I get the site address prefixed with the shop address so it doesn't work.

 

Any ideas anyone

 

Plus is it possible to change just the front end presentation of the word 'Manufaturers' to 'Suppliers'

 

Any help would be really great

 

Dave :thumbsup:

This sound close to what you are describing:

Also, you can change Manuf to Supplier in the file:

catalog/includes/languages/english/index.php

Find where TABLE_HEADING_MANUFACTURER is defined as 'Manufacturer'.

Cool, yeh that sounds like the one - nice one I'll have a go.

 

Cheers

Hiya the link bit worked really well, but still having probs changing the Manufacturer bit to Supplier. Changed the index.php bit but no change at all. Any ideas, I don't obviously want to mess with the database elements only want to change the bit the customer sees so Supplier would be better.

 

Any ideas

Depends on where exactly you are talking about then. Do you mean the heading when a customer first comes to the site and it says "Featured Manufacturer"' or something to that effect? That is in the same place: /catalog/includes/languages/english/index.php

 

define ('HEADING_TITLE', 'CHANGE_IT_HERE');

Hey thanks for helping with this. To be really specific I'm trying to change the word Manufacturers that sits in the box on the left hand column not matter where you are in the shop. And to be exact, in the top left of the page there's the logo first, then a box that says Top ? Catalog, then one that says Categories then one that says Manufacturers - below that box it says what's new. It's that box I would like to change to say Supplier if possible. Like I say it's only an aesthetic/clarity thing in for my customers and suppliers to see that they aren't being represented as an actual Manufacturer.

 

Hope this helps and thanks once again for you help.

 

Cheers

catalog/includes/languages/english.php

 

define('BOX_HEADING_MANUFACTURERS', 'Manufacturers');

// whats_new box text in includes/boxes/whats_new.php
define('BOX_HEADING_WHATS_NEW', 'What\'s New?');

 

also for manufacturers info box

 

define('BOX_HEADING_MANUFACTURER_INFO', 'Manufacturer Info');

 

also check the catalog/includes/languages/english/index.php as teh manufacturer is mentioned in there.

 

You might also wish to change the admin side to be the same

Rock and roll, close the thread and crack on - wicked.

 

Problem solved cool.

 

So if you want to change the Manufacturer heading to something else - edit that file!!

 

Thank you to everyone who helped.

Help! Please don't close the thread! I've been trying to exactly the same (and also with the "Categories" Label in the first box. I have edited the files mentioned and can change any box heading I like except for Categories or Manufacturers.

 

Sorry to make my first post a plea for help but if you've solved this wn6 these please tell me exactly how. Or if anyone else can help, I would be so grateful.

Hiya,

 

Yeh it did work, but I'm not sure how to change the catagories perhaps in the same way you change the Manufacturers bit.

 

Anyway this is how I did it.

 

I download the the file

 

- catalog/includes/languages/english.php

 

Opened it and edited the line

- define('BOX_HEADING_MANUFACTURERS', 'Manufacturers');

 

Changing the word Manufactures the bit in ' ' to Suppliers and kept eveything else the same.

 

Saved the file and uploaded it back to the same location from where it came from.

- catalog/includes/languages/english.php

 

And that was it - I've just had a mooch at that file and found a line that says

// categories box text in includes/boxes/categories.php

define('BOX_HEADING_CATEGORIES', 'Categories');

 

I guess if you change the Catagories bit in that line it should do what you need.

 

Hope this helps

 

Dave

Thanks for your help. I have done exactly the same thing a dozen times and it works with anything except for Categories or Manufacturers! Except I have noticed that Categories changes when the second-level sub-pages are loaded. I've deleted cookies, cache etc just in case and searched all the files I can think of but it just won't work for me. It's really wierd so can anyone be as kind and helpful as wn6 please?
