    Isn't that already your site? It is in your signature file?

    Where would you want these made? I assume on a Zen Cart install?

    Yes, this is the site that I was recently tasked to re-produce in Zen Cart. I am not a programmer, and my boss knows that. I have been able to reproduce most of the site, but am having problems creating a similar menu structure.

    You could create a header graphic like the ones on your sample site in photoshop or any other graphic program.

    unzip the following attached file. upload the two graphics to:

    includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/images.

    make the following changes to your stylesheet.css

    .leftBoxHeading, .rightBoxHeading {
    margin: 0;
    background-image:url(../images/sidebox_header.jpg);
    background-repeat:no-repeat;
    padding: 0.5em 0;
    }
    .sideBoxContent {
    background-image:url(../images/sidebox_content.jpg);
    background-repeat:no-repeat;
    background-position:bottom;
    padding: 0.3em 0.3em 1em 0.3em;
    font-size: 1em;
    }

    open you admin -> configuration -> layout settings

    adjust the following:

    column width - Left boxes set to 200
    column width - Right boxes set to 200

    Column Width - Left set to 210
    Column Width - Right aet to 210

    Hope this helpsAttachment 1936

    Have a Drink Re: Make Side boxes look like this?

    THANKS Clyde, I got the header graphic trick (thanks). I guess my original question was not really clear.

    What I really was trying to accomplish is two fold.

    1) change the graphics <THANKS><DONE>
    2) change the display of categories and sub-categories.

    I have sub-categories that go 3 or 4 layers deep so I need to limit the "Visible Menu Display" to just two layers. Primary categories and the next layer of sub-category.

    What I am looking for is a side box that will:

    Create a separate (tabbed box?) for each "Top Level Category" then list the "Second Level Category" within that box, each spaced within a (box) or horizontal line. Then the following layers of sub-categories can either be Drop Down or Fly Out type. (I prefer fly-out with a plain square backgound).

    Like www.worldclassflags.com the "FLAGS" - "FLAGPOLES" and "BANNERS" are Top Level Categories. Inside listed are the Second Level Categories.

    The problem with the old site is there are NO subsequent sub-category levels so EVERY American Flag is listed in a column.

    Thank You all for your help. I would be lost (and out of a job) without this forum.

    Pulling the categories/sub-categories is dynamic and they are called from the database. It would take some extensive custom coding to accomplish what you want to do.

    You could try the fly out mod in the downloads section.
