Featured catagory php require(*)

[ssmith.cp]

Are your categories going to be constantly changing in their display order? (This would be a very bad idea for customer familiarity.) Or are you going to be frequently making new categories which would display at the top of the list?
If not, by far the simplest solution would be to make a link in tpl_header.php with your desired text, pointing to <a href="index.php?main_page=index&amp;cPath=23"> where 23 is replaced by the cPath to the desired category.

I didn't think about customer familiarity. I am using the cPath link right now...

Thanks for your input gjh42... I think I am going to do it this way
