In 4.1.8, if you want manufacturers in alphabetical order, just change all of the ORDER BY to "0" in admin. It then defaults to alphabetical.

This works nicely but how do i make it alphabetical ?

Hello
Any possibility to see this working on someone's site. I am looking for a type of sort/search/drop down but I have not been successful in which key words to search for.

Thanks

Hello
Yes that looks good. It is part of what I would like to do. The dropdown menu side. Ultimately I would like to have 4 search buttons like you have for manufacture with the drop down options, that people can fill in all 4 or just 1 to sort what they are looking for.

Let me see, if I can explain better; Each search box has is a drop choice.

1st search box - say choose - spa's (other categories for drop down available)
2nd search box - Country names - others listed choose 1
3rd search box - state names - as per above
4th search boox - men only - as per above
After all or some of the fields have been entered the search comes up with the customers answers.

I suppose its similar to a 4 flyout menu but as a drop down as I prefer drop downs to flyouts.

Hope this makes sense. Not being a tech, the info tech language confuses me.

Thanks

That is a lot more indepth from the manufacture drop down i would suggest posting this in a seperate thread asking if someone can do for you.

You may be quoted as it looks to be a custom code which you require.

Basically what you are after is something like what ebay offers ?

I am going to have a cart that sells videos ... and I would like all of the actors to be listed in a pull down menu for easy access.

It will be a supplemental item on the site ... not the main navigation.

Since I dont have more than one manufacturer in the cart (and never will), I was going to enter each actor as a manufacturer and use this very handy pull down menu code.

My concern is that over the next couple years, i will have hundreds of actors.

That doesnt bother me that the list will be ridiculously large ... but I'm planning ahead and wondering if this is too much for Xcart.

Will it slow down the system in any noticeable way?

is there a better way someone can help me with? I'm not really too savvy when it comes to smarty and php. Just html.

Thanks,
Sharon

The only flaw in your logic is that videos have more than one actor and a product can only have one manufacturer.

yeah .. I thought of that as I was closing my eyes last night to go to sleep. I feel kind of silly for thinking of it in the first place.

Ok ... so if I used a drop down menu with html links instead ... and there were hundreds of them ... would that have an impact on the speed of my site?

Hello
Does this code work on 4.1.9?

Thanks
