Remove categories from dropdown menu.

[skolos]

Hi there.
I have a question in regards to dropdown menu customization.
I would like to remove the product type categories from my dropdown menu under "Shop by Brand", ie. Toners, Cleansers, etc. but would like to leave brands intact. The reason why I want to do this is because I placed product types in one of the sideboxes.
I am using zencart 1.3.9 h
Also I have CSS Flyout header menu installed.
The website is nkfacial dot com

Any help would be appreciated.

this will be in your template header file.

you need to modify tpl_header.php file

[skolos]

Can you please elaborate a bit more? I looked into tpl_header.php but not really sure which line to modify. I can post my tpl_header if that makes it easier to pinpoint the solution.
Thank you.

yes if you can ...
