hypes057 Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 I changed the title of the manufacturer's tab in the language/english.php file to wholesale members and that was fine. When I went to put in the links for the new items they do not open anywhere, they just link to a product box. I could put the info as a new product, but dont want it to show up under the products navigation. How can I force the links to go to the pages i specified in the manufacturer admin?
spooks Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 the link in manufacturer is for use within product info, it does nothing elsewhere precisly what are u wanting to do?

hypes057 Posted July 3, 2009 Author Posted July 3, 2009 If i get u right, u want the manufacturer drop down action to be totally changed such that it will open new custom pages regarding same ? Correct. At the very least just go to another _top webpage instead of pulling the info from a product listing.
spooks Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 OK, as u said u could direct to a disabled product for this as the simplest option. I'm sure there is no contrib (too specific a need) so u have to write your own code. look at how drop down are constructed first, studying Date of Birth PullDown http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/3778 or Reciprocal Links http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/6099 should give u ideas Sam Remember, What you think I ment may not be what I thought I ment when I said it.

Thanks for all your help!
hypes057 Posted July 4, 2009 Author Posted July 4, 2009 The links did not help they actually confused me more than anything. But I still appreciate the responses. In the admin for the manufacturers, what is the point of having the option to add links if they dont work?

In the admin for the manufacturers, what is the point of having the option to add links if they dont work? As I stated link in manufacturer is for use within product info, if u look at a product page u will see the manufacturers info box, the link in that is what u have put!! The links i gave are for u to look at the code so u can learn and adapt the drop downs, clearly there will be nothing u could use directly where u put the code is up to u!!!
