Categories Dressing

[Berserker]

"Apart from hard-coding it in the tpl_categories.php, is there other way to have a group of links (around 10 manufacturer links) to show as a category sidebox without creating the folders in admin?"

You can code the links into a "heading" for a category or link in categories_dressing_defines.php, or hard-code them in tpl_categories.php.

You might be able to use the manufacturers sidebox, remove its heading, and make it stick tight to the bottom of the categories box so it looks continuous (all with CSS), or put the mfr links in the ez-page sidebox and do the same.

We wont be able to use the manufacturer sidebox as we have over 50 manufacturers and we are only picking the top 10 most popular to show on a sidebox.

Im not sure how to code the links into a heading in categories_dressing_defines.php. Could you please give me an example. I thought all the headings are just static. Below is what we have in the categories_dressing_defines.php

define ('CAT_BOX_HEADING_309','1|0|||Popular Phone Brands|1||');
define ('CAT_BOX_HEADING_19','1|0|||Popular Series|1||');

Thanks...
