Thread: Help with -Manage Manufacturer-

Just bought ML package and we're setting up a new product. Under "Manufacturer" there is no default selection of "Generic". Per manual "Every product must be assigned to a manufacturer, but if you do not want to enable browsing by manufacturers on your website, you can leave them all assigned to the default "Generic Mfg" that comes preloaded in your admin site.", however there is no selection of "Generic" and we don't want to create/use a manufacturer.

Thank you in advanced!

Sounds like you just didn't install the demo data (Install Demo Website Data.sql file in the DB) folder. If you don't run that, you'll have to create a generic manufacturer to use yourself.

Hello again -

We decided to create a generic manufacturer to use, however once we created the "generic" manufacturer, it appears on the left column of home page as a selection link. We don't want this link to appear, is there a way to do this? We checked not to "Publish" this manufacturer but if we do, it will not let us choose "generic" when we're adding a Product.

Thanks again in advanced!

Just remove that element from your skin. If you're on the default 8012 skin you're looking for something like this:

Code:

                <div class="navHeader">Browse (!StringResource Name="AppConfig.ManufacturerPromptPlural"!)</div>
                <div class="leftNav" id="manufacturers">(!XmlPackage Name="rev.manufacturers"!)</div>
