Manufacturer list - Change order

[Guest]

Hi

 

I have 2 questions:

 

1. How do you change the order of the manufacturer list? At the moment it is alphabetical and i want to sort into another order.

 

2. When you click on a manufacturer and bring up the list of products in the main page there is a drop down box named show: (center top). The first in the list is "All Categories". Where can i find this wording to change the word Categories?

 

Thank you in advance for your help :)

1. You can change the order by altering the query on top in the includes/boxes/manufacturers.php file.

2. Text is located in includes/languages/yourlanguage/index.php

Hi

Thanks for the response.

 

1. I have found the section that needs altering in manufacturers.php......" order by manufacturers_name" but how do i change this so that i can put them in my own manual order?

 

2. Thank you, sorted with number 2 query.

1. You would have to modify the manufacturers table and add a new ordering field, in the admin you would have to make a possibility to add/edit the ordering number to the manufacturer and finally in the includes/boxes/manufacturers.php you would have to alter the top query to sort by your new ordering field.
