Removing "Manufacturers"

[raybeam]

I really don't need the manufacturers drop-down. There seem to be hard to obtain information about how to do remove manufacturers, I've searched for it.. There seem to HAVE been a guide on http://www.oscommercehowto.com/remove-manufacturers/ , but it's not working now..

 

Help someone?

in includes>column_left. php, comment out the following:

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

 }

 

Thanks, that seemed to work fine, thanks.

Now, I also want to remove the "Manufacurer info"-box on the product_info.php , the page wich shows up when I click a product.

Any clues?

And then I discovered that manufacturers are still left in "advanced search", and the "Let's see what we have here" product listing..

try includes>column_right, and look for the reference to the manu_info box. comment it out - in mine its around line 31

I just deleted all the manufacturers and most of the problem was gone..

 

Now it's just in the Advanced Search that Manufacturers still haunts me.
