Do you still need the manufacturers if you have a band names dropdown? If not, just change the text of the BRANDS to BANDS and you're good to go, using the manufacturers as bands
To change the text open /catalog/language/english/module/manufacturer.php and change the text in there

In that case you've got quite a bit of work ahead of you, you'll need to duplicate all of the code for the module, as well as the editor for the manufacturers, lots to duplicate!

Basically what you need to do is duplicate all files entitled "manufacturer" and rename them "bands". It's actually quite an easy job but maybe a bit tedious. The files you want to find/duplicate are in these folders:

Code: Select all

admin\controller\module
admin\controller\catalog
admin\language\english\module
admin\language\english\catalog
admin\model\catalog
admin\view\template\module
admin\view\template\catalog
catalog\controller\module
catalog\controller\product
catalog\language\english\product
catalog\language\english\module
catalog\model\catalog
catalog\view\theme\default\template\product
catalog\view\theme\default\template\module
As you go through and duplicate the files, I'd suggest doing a find+replace on each file, replacing any mention of 'manufacturer' with 'bands'.

The key file to look out for (in terms of style and creating a list of the entries for the visitors) would of course be in template\module.

Hope that helps (and I hope I listed all the folders you will need).
