I'm usig x-cart gold 4.0.13 and ths script works fine.

{* $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}

Just replace everything in /modules/Manufacturers/menu_manufacturers.tpl with the above code and make sure to make a backup copy of the original file just in case you need to revert.

Defiantly an improvement than the default menu list, but I wanted all of the mfr's listed and the other mfr. link removed. I also truncated long mfr names to keep the drop down menu small.

kudos!

{if $manufacturers_menu ne ''} 
{capture name=menu} 
<FORM NAME="formManufacturer"> 
<SELECT NAME="listManufacturer" onchange="window.location=this.options[selectedIndex].value"> 
<OPTION VALUE="">Select Mfr.</OPTION> 
{section name=mid loop=$manufacturers} 
{if $manufacturers[mid].manufacturerid ne 0}
<OPTION VALUE="manufacturers.php?manufacturerid={$manufacturers[mid].manufacturerid}"><font class="VertMenuItems">{$manufacturers[mid].manufacturer|truncate:25:"..."}</font></OPTION> 
{/if}
{/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}

anyone managed to do a drop-down search for the subcategories?

[idesign123]

I'm using the code listed two posts before mine (Boomer).

There seems to be a minor bug though...

- Go to http://www.southernhotrod.com/store/
You will see manufacturers in a dropdown. Works Great.

- Now click on "About Us" (top menu).
The manufacturers menu is now blank.

* the manufacturers menu is blank on all pages in the 'help' section.

Can someone please suggest a fix?

Try changing any instance: $manufacturers to $manufacturers_menu

[idesign123]

That did the trick

Thanks Boomer!

This is great - any chance there's a way to manipulate this so it shows all of the manufacturers/products in the drop down but the standard 10/20 categories beneath it?

I've already combined the two into my menus so the drop down appears above the links. Just looking for that little added bonus.

<form name="form_cat" method="get" action="home.php"> 
    <select name="cat" onChange="document.form_cat.submit()"> 
      <option value="0" selected>Search By Category</option> 
      {section name=cat_num loop=$categories} 
      <option value="{$categories[cat_num].categoryid}">{$categories[cat_num].category}</option> 
      {/section} 
    </select> 
</form>

X-cart 4.1.1
1. Create manufactures.tpl in skin1/customer (blank file)

2. Now drop this code:

{* $Id: menu_manufacturers.tpl,v 1.5 2005/11/17 06:55:47 max Exp $ *}
{if $manufacturers_menu ne ''}
{capture name=menu}
<form name="form_manuf" method="get" action="manufacturers.php">
<select name="manufacturerid" onChange="document.form_manuf.submit()">
<option value="0" selected>Search By Manufacturer</option>
{section name=mid loop=$manufacturers_menu}
<option value="{$manufacturers_menu[mid].manufacturerid}">{$manufacturers_menu[mid].manufacturer}</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}

3. Save

4. In the skin1/customer/home.tpl change this line:

{ include file="modules/Manufacturers/menu_manufacturers.tpl" }
for this one
{ include file="customer/manufacturers.tpl" }

5. Done (works with php and html catalog)
