Manufacturers not showing on home page

karentown · #21 01-16-2008, 05:21 AM

Grrr ... I am doing something wrong. The whole section currently reads:

<td class="VertMenuLeftColumn">
{include file="customer/categories.tpl" }

{if $main ne "catalog" or $current_category.category ne ""}
{if $active_modules.SnS_connector && $config.SnS_connector.sns_display_button eq 'Y'}
<div style="width: 100%; text-align: center;">
<br />
{include file="modules/SnS_connector/button.tpl"}
</div>
{/if}

Does it become:

<td class="VertMenuLeftColumn">
{include file="customer/categories.tpl" }

{* if $main ne "catalog" or $current_category.category ne "" *}
{if $active_modules.SnS_connector && $config.SnS_connector.sns_display_button eq 'Y'}
<div style="width: 100%; text-align: center;">
<br />
{include file="modules/SnS_connector/button.tpl"}
</div>
{* /if *}

??

That's the SNS connector code, not the manufacturer's code. What are you trying to hide?

I am in the home page template. I am trying to get the manufacturers to show up on the home page like they do on the inner pages.

balinor · #24 01-16-2008, 05:43 AM

Oh, ok...comment out the first piece like you did, but the closing {/if} statement you want to comment out is the one AFTER the manufacturer code. Post your whole left column code and I'll show you.

OK, here it is:

Ok, so comment out this line as you did:

{if $main ne "catalog" or $current_category.category ne ""}

But the closing one is down near the spacer. So replace this:

{/if}

<img src="{$ImagesDir}/spacer.gif" width="180" height="1" alt="" />

with this:

{* /if *}

<img src="{$ImagesDir}/spacer.gif" width="180" height="1" alt="" />

WOO-HOO!!! Thank you so much Padraic ... once again you have saved my bacon. You deserve a big ****hug****.

karentown · #28 01-16-2008, 08:05 AM

OK, just noticed something (sorry). It has now duplicated the special and help templates. Do I need to comment them out somewhere as I like them in the bottom section where they are with the fashion template.

balinor · #29 01-16-2008, 08:07 AM

Surround them with the {if} statement you commented out.

karentown · #30 01-16-2008, 08:16 AM

Perfect, thanks
