Manufacturer List

Just trying to get a site configured up and have a problem with the manufacturer list.

I have a long list of them which all appear on the front page followed by a "View All" link. Is it possible to restrict this list to, say, 10 and see the rest only when the View All is clicked?

It'll require some customization. Look at \Modules\ManufacturerNavigation.ascx.cs control and replace

var manufacturers = ManufacturerManager.GetAllManufacturers();

with

var manufacturers = ManufacturerManager.GetAllManufacturers().Take(10);

P.S. Don't forget to recompile your application

Thanks, I'll take a look.

has this .take(10) been removed in 1.9?

Ensure that System.Linq namespace is added at the top at the file ("using System.Linq;")

In this case you need to copy only NopCommerceStore.dll

Very stargly i dont have
var manufacturers = ManufacturerManager.GetAllManufacturers();

var manufacturers = this.ManufacturerService.GetAllManufacturers();
