Manufacturers List Instead Of Categories

[Emily.P]

Hello everyone!

 

I am trying to set up my own clothing fashion store, and I love how the menu displays the categories on the side of the page, but I need it to display Manufacturers instead of Categories.. So that the users can select which Brand or Designer from the left..

 

Is there anyway to make it list the manufacturers instead of the product categories?? This is the layout I am trying to copy! :

I am desperate to get this up and running so I would appreciate your help!

 

Thanks!

Its pretty simple I think.

 

(this is based in a standard installation)

 

in your catalog/includes/column_left.php

there is a line

 

if ((USE_CACHE == 'true') && empty($SID)) {

echo tep_cache_categories_box();

} else {

include(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'categories.php');

}

 

change that to

 

if ((USE_CACHE == 'true') && empty($SID)) {

echo tep_cache_manufacturers_box();

} else {

include(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'manufacturers.php');

}

 

 

and see if that helps

 

this will show a drop down box, so you will want to change it to show as a list.

Is it possible to make a horizontal Tab Menu in the header so you can choose which manufaturers (charactures) you want ?
