When a store has dozens or hundreds of manufacturers, a long plain list quickly becomes difficult to browse. Customers may have to scan many names before finding the brand they need.
Alphabetical Manufacturers List for JoomShopping 5+ organizes manufacturers alphabetically and helps customers find the required brand faster and open its products in the catalog.
Turn a large manufacturer list into clear navigation.
Brand names can be grouped by individual letters or alphabet ranges, keeping even large manufacturer catalogs easy to browse.
Find manufacturers by the first letter
The module is designed to structure the JoomShopping manufacturer list alphabetically.
Instead of one long list, customers see logically grouped manufacturer names and can reach the required brand more quickly.
After selecting a manufacturer, the customer is taken to the corresponding list of its products in JoomShopping.
Several grouping methods
The module allows the alphabetical navigation to be adapted to the number of manufacturers and the design of the store.
Individual letters
Manufacturers can be grouped by the first letter of their name: A, B, C, D, and so on.
Letter ranges
For a more compact layout, several letters can be combined into groups such as A–D, E–H, or other ranges suitable for the catalog.
Both approaches can be combined when needed, allowing the structure to match the actual manufacturer list in the store.
Alphabet navigation bar
A separate output option allows you to use a compact alphabet navigation bar.
This format is especially useful for catalogs with many brands: customers first select a letter and then quickly find the required manufacturer.
For example:
instead of scrolling through a list of one hundred manufacturers, a customer can select the letter S and immediately jump to brands beginning with that letter.
Custom character set
The character set used for grouping can be configured in the module settings.
This makes it possible to create the required alphabetical sequence according to the store catalog and manufacturer names.
Number of blocks per row
For the list layout, you can configure how many manufacturer blocks should be displayed in each row.
This allows the module to be adapted both to a wide main content area and to a more compact template position.
For stores with many brands
The module is most useful when the standard manufacturer list has become too large to browse comfortably.
Typical examples include:
- auto parts stores;
- electronics and home appliance catalogs;
- cosmetics and perfume stores with many brands;
- fashion and footwear catalogs with multiple manufacturers;
- B2B catalogs with dozens or hundreds of suppliers and brands.
The larger the manufacturer catalog becomes, the more useful alphabetical organization is.
No manual manufacturer duplication
The module works with the JoomShopping manufacturer list, so there is no need to create a separate Joomla menu and maintain brand links manually.
Navigation is built from the manufacturer's data already stored in the catalog.
