Customization of Specific categories...
Is it possible to do a completely different modification in one category?

For example, I want all categories except for shopping to be plain text links like: http://animenation.net/...mercial_Pages/Japan/

but the shopping category would look like: http://www.affiliatefirst.com/...rtainment/index.html allowing for the use of banners and images.

Thank you....

You could use an if statement in your category.html templalte

<%if ID='12'>
Do your exciting shopping category formating here
<%else%>
Do your normal boring layout here
<%endif%>

I would have to check the ID= bit... can't remember off hand what tag is available in that template. But '12' would just be substituted for whatever category ID your shopping category is.

Thanks Ian,

I do not program Links at all -- just designing and producing the project. What would it entail to have this done? Are you available?

Regards...

Yup, ID would be the right tag. However, you can also define a different template for each category ;) Take a look when you add/modify the categories, there is a field called Category Template
