Exclude Certain Categories From Category List

I saw this thread in the 4.1x forums
http://forum.x-cart.com/showthread.php?t=23766&highlight=Exclude+Certain+C ategories+From+Category+List

But I tried it, and it did not on 4.2.2. Basically you assign a category you want to exclude with a high Category ID, like 500. Then you add an "if statement" to the categories.tpl file saying if category ID is > 500 then exclude.

Does anyone know how to do this?

Here is my categories.tpl

Code:

{*

$Id: categories.tpl,v 1.33 2008/11/06 16:53:53 max Exp $

vim: set ts=2 sw=2 sts=2 et:

*}

{capture name=menu}

{if $active_modules.Fancy_Categories}

  {include file="modules/Fancy_Categories/categories.tpl"}

  {assign var="additional_class" value="menu-fancy-categories-list"}

{else}

  <ul class="nav_list">

    {foreach from=$categories_menu_list item=c}

      {if $c.avail ne "H"}

<li><a href="home.php?cat={$c.categoryid}" title="{$c.category|escape}">{$c.category}</a></li>

{/if}

    {/foreach}

  </ul>

  {assign var="additional_class" value="menu-categories-list"}

{/if}

{/capture}

{include file="customer/menu_dialog.tpl" title=$lng.lbl_categories content=$smarty.capture.menu}
