I am trying to set up my Manufacturer/Brands Navigation the Right, with Individual Product Nav on the Left.

Basically I have a list of Companies on the right and want to set it up so when a customer clicks on a Manufacturer name, the link takes the customer to a page with just that Manufactuter's products. Simple, right?

Basically what I have tried to do is edit the links in the static HTML file in the Manufacturer Nav, and link them Absolute URLs to the ProductCart manufacturer page. However I can't find a solid Manufacturer URL (even though I have already added Brands on the control panel).

So I put in http://www.website.com/store/pc/viewbrands.asp - www.website.com/store/pc/viewbrands.asp , and then I see a list of the brands. I right click on a brand to "copy shortcut" (to make my links in the nav) but all it gives me is a search results page. So, if you click on a Brand, it takes you to a page that says

"Your search returned the following results..."

please help

The manufacture or brand searches are handled by the search functions of the cart. I hired a company to list my brands in a drop-down menu. The brands are handled similar to the generate categories but the list still uses the search function of the cart to display the brands. You can see what I mean at my site, www.knifepro.com.

The company I used was NetProfits. They are listed as developers for ProductCart. There work is fast and very reasonably priced.

hmm, so the only way to view a Brand page is to have it go through search results?
