Remove Manufactuers Drop List

[Guest]

if you visit my store www.junelle.com.au/shop i have this section in the middle under the flower but before the products that is a blank white back. this is where the manufactuers used it be. it was the words manufactuers: in bold and then a drop list to select from. i dont have differnt manufactuers so this unction is useless. i went into my admin and deleted all the temp manufactuers names 1 2 3 and 4. now it has deleted the wording and drop list but left the white space. if i go back into admin and enter a manufactuer back it, it reappears. i am not going to be using this so where do i edit the code to remove this white square that referances this manufacturers in the admin? i thought i found it in application_top but when deleted it i got a error on line 428 message. i can send my code through to anyone that can help me!

 

secondly, if this is not an option is there a way to change the work manufactuers to something like new arrivals. i tried in my languages english but nothing could be found?

You need to remove the code in the includes/column_left.php (or right) file that has to do with that box. It is only a few lines and should be obvious by the name.

It is probably reading from cache. Disable this line too

echo tep_cache_manufacturers_box();

Or just delete that whole section of code.

i just took the diable off the line above where i am looking and i think i may be in the wrong spot with the coloum. when i turn it off it put a section of info in the left coloum under the categories box. as this is in the middle of the page, it just be getting it from somewhere else. what file does oscommerce referance for the centre of each page?

[Jack_mcs]

If you are using a template or a bts based shop, the manufacturers are probably not loaded from there.

After you modified the file did you save and upload it to the webserver? :-"

Yeah i did, but i am convinced that is not the right area as anything else i do in there, only changes the left hand column not the middle bit. i must be missing something somewhere else.

We are having the same problems. We are using a template and cannot get the manufacturers box to delete. We have tried all the deletes that Jack suggested as well. Any other options?

[Jack_mcs]

Templates generally load the manufacturers from the includes/header.php file. You will have to search there, or elsewhere, to see where they are calling the code.
