Going through the posts, this is my .tpl in 4.3:

<h1>{$lng.lbl_manufacturers}</h1>
{capture name=dialog} 
{include file="customer/main/navigation.tpl"}
{assign var="tmp" value="0"} 
{section name=mid loop=$manufacturers} 
  {if $manufacturers[mid].manufacturerid}{assign var="tmp" value="1"}{/if} 
{/section}
<ul class="manufacturers-list list-item">
  {section name=mid loop=$manufacturers} 
  <li>
    <a href="manufacturers.php?manufacturerid={$manufacturers[mid].manufacturerid}">
     <img src="image.php?id={$manufacturers[mid].manufacturerid}&type=M" /><br />
     {$manufacturers[mid].manufacturer}</a>
  </li>
  {/section} 
</ul>
{/capture} 
{include file="customer/dialog.tpl" title=$lng.lbl_manufacturers content=$smarty.capture.dialog noborder=true}

Then just style the list.
