Category display on home page
Hi There,

I think this should be fairly easy... but not sure where to start... I would like to show the category list on the home page so that I have two seperate category displays, each building from a top level sub category.

There would be a section: "View by Destination" with all the subcats below that being shown, followed by some content and then the section "View by Type" with all the subcats below that.

Does this make sense?

Many Thanks
Jan

If you still need this - you could do it with a global.

Thanks for the reply... If you have the time would be great if you could explain whats involved here.

I am faily new to linkssql, but have managed to customise it in a few simple ways, so I might be able to get this up and runing with an overview of whats involved so I dont take up to much of your time.

Just to recap, I am basically trying to duplicate the whole category display on the home page. Then I want to set the top level category that each will build from. E.g.

Main Category 1
-------------------------------
Subcat 1 Subcat 2
subsubcats... subsubcats...

Subcat 3 Subcat 4
subsubcats... subsubcats...

Main Category 2
-------------------------------
Subcat 1 Subcat 2
subsubcats... subsubcats...

Subcat 3 Subcat 4
subsubcats... subsubcats...

Many Thanks
