Hello
I think if you go to MODULE SETTINGS/manufacturer list limit in the admin area you can increase the limit from 10 to whatever number you want.

Yes mrbiggles you are right . That was simple enough.
That should of hit me. It's amazing how something so simple can slip by.

THANK YOU THANK YOU.

Nice to finally find this answer!!!

_now setting it to a really high number_ :)

here is my version of the Drop Down Menu for Manufacturers:

Code:

{* $Id: menu_manufacturers.tpl,v 1.4 2004/06/22 05:38:52 max Exp $ *}

{if $manufacturers_menu ne ''}

{capture name=menu}

<FORM NAME="formManufacturer"> 

<SELECT NAME="listManufacturer" onchange="window.location=this.options[selectedIndex].value">

<OPTION VALUE="">- select -</OPTION>

{section name=mid loop=$manufacturers_menu}

<OPTION VALUE="manufacturers.php?manufacturerid={$manufacturers_menu[mid].manufacturerid}"><font  class="VertMenuItems">{$manufacturers_menu[mid].manufacturer}</font></OPTION>

{/section}

</SELECT>

</FORM>

{if $show_other_manufacturers}






{$lng.lbl_other_manufacturers}




{/if}

{/capture}

{include file="menu.tpl" dingbats="dingbats_categorie.gif" menu_title=$lng.lbl_manufacturers menu_content=$smarty.capture.menu}






{/if}

Under v4.0.12... goto: Web Admin -> Modules -> General Settings -> Modules Options... then edit value for "Manufacturers list limit" to something high obsurd like 250.

Doing so will allow a complete list of Manufacturers to be shown.
If you go over this "Manufacturer List Limit" value... then the "Other Manufacturers" link will show up... just up the "Manufacturers list limit" value higher again!

Hello:

This is the most useful topic! I have another twist to this drop down menu business:

I need a drop drown menu for the subcategories of just one of my categories: Number 5. In on sentence, the form will have all the subcategories of category 5 as options.

How would I code this?

This code is great.
Thanks to all the contributors. :D

Moving dropdown box into manufacturers box

I have applied the above code to create a drop down box for manufacturers. However, I cannot seem to get the dropdown box to move inside the menu box with label Manufacturers, and to be the same width as the box. Can anyone please help me with achieving this? I have searched and searched with no results. I created a file called manufacturers.tpl and called this in customer/home.tpl as below.

Code:

<TD width="150" valign="top">

{if $categories ne "" and ($active_modules.Fancy_Categories ne "" or $config.General.root_categories eq "Y" or $subcategories ne "")}

{ include file="customer/categories.tpl" }






{/if}

{if $active_modules.Bestsellers ne "" and $config.Modules.bestsellers_menu eq "Y"}

{ include file="modules/Bestsellers/menu_bestsellers.tpl" }

{/if}

{if $active_modules.Manufacturers ne "" and $config.Modules.manufacturers_menu eq "Y"}





{ include file="customer/manufacturers.tpl" }



{/if}

this is just a portion of it as its quite long. If anyone could please help me it would really appreciated!! Thanks!

Is there anyway to make the first MENU item on the dropdown menus not clickable?

and does anyone know why when the pages load the categories menu jumps up one place?

thanks

I love this mod. :D

One problem. I did the manufacturers and catagories but the catagories verticle box got wider by about 20 pixels. How do I adjust it back down to normal?

style="width:70%"
or
style="width:120px"
Add or modify this in the <select> tag
