hideCategories

[getyler2]

This is a great add-on if I could just finish merging the two /includes/templates/mytheme/sideboxes/tpl_categories.php files I have. My original version from a template I'd bought, and the new Hidden Category version. Replacing the original file with the Hidden version strips out the formatting of my Category menu, but hides the hidden category. Using the original version gets my styling back but obviously the hidden category is shown. When a fix attempt doesn't work, all that gets shown is the top banner.

I downloaded the 1.10 version because I built the cart in 1.3.8a with tons of edits I didn't keep track of, so I'm stuck in 1.3.8 for now. I've tried for 4 days cutting and pasting here and there to no avail. Tried going from the new version to the old, and vice versa. Anybody have any guidance? The two php files are zipped. My php capabilities suck and I'm out of ideas. Many thanks!

The hidden version turns the Categories sidebox formatted text into Times Roman, single line breaks, flush left... no formatting.
