// Prepare tab

$tab = new Tab();

$tab->active = 1;

$tab->class_name = "AdminBlockCategories";

$tab->name = array();

foreach (Language::getLanguages(true) as $lang)

$tab->name[$lang['id_lang']] = 'BlockCategories';

$tab->id_parent = -1;

$tab->module = $this->name;

hello

you if it isn't positioned as you want - there are two possibilities:

- modules is "far away" from your slider on disaplyTopColumn modules list. go to modules > positions and search for modules list named displayTopColumn and move block manufacturers module  right after the slider module.

- you have to use correct css styles for your manufacturers block. 

 

in some cases problems are also related to construction of blocks (both of the manufacturers and slider) - in this case - modification will be a bit more complicated (modification related to slider files and other related modules)

[krane]

-( you have to use correct css styles for your

manufacturers block.)

 

 

So how exactly do we do this? where is the CSS for manufacturer block found?

Cheers
