Limit content of drop down catagorie side box to one catagorie?

I downloaded the Drop down catagorie on this site https://www.coolcarpartsonline.com.
I want to limit the content to one catagorie....In this case the Make, So The drop down menu will contain a list of the car makes such as Acura, Bmw etc.

You can add this test for the current top category being equal to the "Make" category id (77):

if ((int)$_GET[cPath] == 77) {
...code to be executed if 77...
}

or the converse:

if ((int)$_GET[cPath] != 77) {
...code to be executed if not 77...
}

Since I don't know the code for that mod, I can't tell you exactly where to put it. In a standard tpl_categories.php, you would add just

(int)$_GET[cPath] != 77 or

in this linephp if (zen_get_product_types_to_category($box_categories_array[$i]['path']) == 3 or ($box_categories_array[$i]['top'] != 'true' and SHOW_CATEGORIES_SUBCATEGORIES_ALWAYS != 1)) { // skip if this is for the document box (==3) } else { to get this```php
if ((int)$_GET[cPath] != 77 or zen_get_product_types_to_category($box_categories_array[$i]['path']) == 3 or ($box_categories_array[$i]['top'] != 'true' and SHOW_CATEGORIES_SUBCATEGORIES_ALWAYS != 1)) {
// skip if this is for the document box (==3)
} else {

This is the code for the tpl_catagorie_select.php

'Content') . '" class="sideBoxContent centeredContent">'; $content .= zen_draw_form('categories_form', zen_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT, '', 'NONSSL', false), 'get'); $content .= zen_draw_hidden_field('main_page', FILENAME_DEFAULT); $content .= zen_draw_pull_down_menu('cPath', zen_get_categories_no_sub(array(array('id' => '', 'text' => PRODUCT_LISTING_SEARCH_TEXT_ALL_CATEGORIES)), '0' ,'', '1'), (isset($_GET['categories_id']) ? $_GET['categories_id'] : ''), 'onchange="this.form.submit();" size="1"') . zen_hide_session_id(); $content .= '</form>'; $content .= '</div>'; ?>

I did disable the sub-catagorie for the drop down menu so I will have to go in and change it back to the original function file so it will open sub-catagorie in the drop down box.

If you can figure out how to edit this code to list the sub catagories of the catagorie 77 so it will list the makes in the drop down menu.
Thanks in advance!

For this mod, the category limitation will have to be done in a class function. If you don't know where the mod function files are, use the Developers Toolkit to search for zen_get_categories_no_sub. It would be easiest for the original mod creator to locate the place for the test.

The developer have Included a code to limit the display to the top catagorie. That code can be added to the function/catagories.php I know how to reverse that.

The question is How can I limit the content of the drop down box to the catagorie-77 "Make"
I could then go into the code and limit the display to Catagorie level 2 which is a Subcatagorie for Make.

Also If you could answer my other question regarding the removal of SQL Patch.
