Removing Manufacturers

[AmyDesigns]

Hello!

 

I need help with removing the "Manufacturers" box and the Manufacturers dropdown menu. Can someone please help me with this? I went into the index.php under Define Lanuages. I tried to remove the define('TABLE_HEADING_MANUFACTURER', 'Manufacturer'); but it did nothing.

What you did is to remove the language definition. You can put it back

 

What you need to do is

1) Go to file catalog/includes/column_left.php

2) Find this

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

3) Replace it with this

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

 

You should stop right now to use the filemanager of the admin panel. Not only that your files can be corrupted, it's also a big security risk and should be deleted at all. Find a proper php editor and a ftp program, download all files, alter them locally and then upload them to the server
