Default Adding new categy box on left side

Okay, I am wanting to have 2 or 3 different category boxes on left side.

lets say one for "Dry Goods" one for "Livestock"... This way it would look abit nicer and seperate them from each other.

Is this possible? I thought I saw this on a site before, but could not remember.

Then have it where I can tell it which categories go in which category box.

Please let me know if this is possible. if not, any ideas on how to make this close to how I want it.

Thanks in advance,

Easiest way is to hard-code them, otherwise you are looking at a bit of code to try and break up the automatic category listing as you would like.

okay, how would I go about getting something like this done? and who?

Sounds like hard coding is difficult, so I guess I need to find someone that can do this...

Any ideas?

So what, exactly are you looking to have done? Do you want the categories to automatically split up into multiple menu boxes, or do you want to just create menus manually and add the links in there?

I would rather have it set up to have certain cats in certain menu boxes. and be able to change the names of the menu boxes (does not matter where I change them, cause it will only be done once).

This way I could setup different boxes. i.e. "Dry Goods" "Livestock" "Garden Ponds", etc...

thanks in advance,

I would get a quote from X-Cart for doing this for you.

You would need to move the code that displays the subcat name out of the cell next to the image and under the image itself. Tough to give you exact instructions, as you have obviously customized that template. Here's a thread that might help:
