How do I move the categories to 'da top?

[lrfowler]

Please see http://www.2muchfunclub.net/2muchfun...index&cPath=33
At the bottom are the categories 'Kawasaki, Harley Davidson' Honda..etc.
I would like to have these categories at the top of my 'Your Source for Hard Saddlebags' introduction...

Please help....

You can edit /includes/templates/your_template/templates/tpl_index_categories.php.
Move the section (lines 64-76) starting with

<!-- BOF: Display grid of available sub-categories, if any -->

to just above

<?php if (DEFINE_MAIN_PAGE_STATUS >= 1 and DEFINE_MAIN_PAGE_STATUS <= 2) { ?>

(line 34).

the sub-categories are no longer at the bottom..but they're not at the top either.....

I did exactly like you said...

Post the section of your tpl_index_categories.php with the subcategory listing and a few lines above and below it. If you misplaced it by even one line, putting it inside another section, it could be disabled.

OK, that entire area of the file only executes on the homepage.
Move that code block to just below

<?php } else { ?>
<h1 id="indexCategoriesHeading"><?php echo $breadcrumb->last(); ?></h1>
<?php } ?>

You should not be changing the /template_default/ version of any file. Copy it to the corresponding location under /your_template/ and edit that copy.
