insert individual side box code where I want it

I am working with a template that I need to create custom backgrounds for some side box’s, So I was hoping I could find the individual side box code to insert where I want it, for instance the categories in it’s own table, then under that it will still bring up the defined side box’s.
I think this is possible as the column_left.php would have the ability to show defined side box’s, I just need to find code to force displaying a particular side box.

I will work on it now but any suggestions will help.

Now trying to find out how to incert <?php require(DIR_WS_MODULES . 'sideboxes/categories.php'); ?>
following this http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=94780

I seem to be able to insert it in the right column without doing anything special, but does not work when I do the same thing with the left column... ?

template main php:

<?php require(DIR_WS_MODULES . 'sideboxes/categories.php'); ?>

I should have put this in the first post "each side box background needs to be different". Perhaps someone can suggest a way to do that with css.

You can do that with the stylesheet. Simply set the desired background for the id associated with the box you want to change.

problem is that div tags dont wrap the side box titles.

As you may see it would be harder to do this with css
