Hello
Iam trying to add a new side box to display the top categories as seperate side boxes. I started the testing on one Categorie on my site www.coolcarpartsonline.com Categorie "Performance Parts" ID 239. I was able to get hide the category from the categories sidebox. and Now trying to add content to the New Sidebox to display the Performance parts Categorie. The code I added in the performance_sidebox (I changed the name of the blank_sidebox)
PHP Code:I edited the following files:PHP Code:<?php

while (!$categories_ap->EOF) {
$id = $categories_ap->fields['categories_id'];
$name = $categories_ap->fields['categories_name'];
$add_content .= '<li><a href="index.php?main_page=index&cPath='.$id.'" class="category-top">'.$name.'</a></li>' . "\n";
$categories_ap->MoveNext();
