Ok then this is a template problem, cause i have tried this and I still get the template look.

 

If there is anyone that can help, what code do i need to show here for reference?

Ask the template provider

Ask the template provider

 

Well that is an option, however was hoping someone here may be able to help as it would be a lot quicker and probably more help friendly

[Jack_mcs]

Template makers routinely cut out, or change, pieces of standard oscommerce code. That make's it very difficult for anyone here to help with it since the problem is specific to your shop. But if you ask the template maker, they probably won't do anything for you unless you pay to have it changed. It is one of the downsides to using such a template.

Thanks Jack

 

I appreciate that it is hard with a template. Problem i have is that not 100% sure who they are, but some of the coding would suggest they are german.

 

How many files could effect the manufacturers list?

 

I have looked at and replaced the following with the original OSC ones

 

manufacturers.php

manufacturers_info.php

column_left.php

I looked at the problem again and realised that the left menu's are the only place to include a particular image, so i have searched thru files and found this, which i believe relates to the problem i have.....

 

<?   // ---- MANUFACTURERS STRING OUTPUT


 $manufacturers_query = tep_db_query("select manufacturers_id, manufacturers_name from " . TABLE_MANUFACTURERS . " order by manufacturers_name");
 if ($number_of_rows = tep_db_num_rows($manufacturers_query)) {

  $manufacturers_array = array();
  while ($manufacturers = tep_db_fetch_array($manufacturers_query)) {
	$output .= $output ? '<tr><td height=1></td></tr>' : '';			 
	$output .= '<tr><td><img src=images/m12.gif width=19 height=19></td><td bgcolor=#E7DCCB width=220 height=19 class=ch5><a class=ml2  href=';
	$manufacturers_name = ((strlen($manufacturers['manufacturers_name']) > MAX_DISPLAY_MANUFACTURER_NAME_LEN) ? substr($manufacturers['manufacturers_name'], 0, MAX_DISPLAY_MANUFACTURER_NAME_LEN) . '..' : $manufacturers['manufacturers_name']);
	$output .= tep_href_link('index.php', 'manufacturers_id='.$manufacturers['manufacturers_id']). '>'.$manufacturers_name;
	$output .= '</a></td></tr>';
  }

echo $output;
 }

?>

 

I have looked the original header.php (where I found the code) but cant see anything similar to swap it with

[toyzonline]

I have deleted this section from the header.php and it certainly loses the menu in question, what would I replace it with to insert the basic manufacturers dropdown?

[toyzonline]

When i deleted the code it removed the entire menu with its header in place. So its just the a bit of code i need to pop in there to bring the drop down menu in.

 

I tried inserting the code from the manufacturer.php and although it messed the table setting up slightly and the drop down menu only had please selct in it, it was there.

 

 

Any php dudes that could help me out i would be much appreciated

[toyzonline]

Heres hopin the fairies (or some php guru) will have left something for me when i woke up...lol
