Thanks Telefirma;
I'm really new to xcart so I hope you can help me a bit more.
I've added the code to a new categories file - categories_type.tpl and added the include to customer/home.tpl. When I did that all my content disappeared except the products menu which still contained the "type" list as well.
New code:
categories_type.tpl
{* $Id: categories.tpl,v 1.26 2005/11/17 06:55:37 max Exp $ *}
{capture name=menu}
{if $active_modules.Fancy_Categories ne ""}
{include file="modules/Fancy_Categories/categories.tpl"}
{assign var="fc_cellpadding" value="0"}
{else}
{if $config.General.root_categories eq "Y"}
{foreach from=$categories item=c}
{if $c.order_by gt 900}
<font class="CategoriesList"><a href="home.php?cat={$c.categoryid}" class="VertMenuItems">{$c.category}</a></font><br />
{/if}
{/foreach}
{else} {foreach from=$subcategories item=c key=catid}
<font class="CategoriesList"><a href="home.php?cat={$catid}" class="VertMenuItems">{$c.category}</a></font><br />
{/if}
{/foreach}
{/if}
{/if}
{/capture}
{ include file="menu.tpl" dingbats="dingbats_categorie.gif" menu_title=$lng.lbl_categories menu_content=$smarty.capture.menu cellpadding=$fc_cellpadding}
Then I added this to customer/home.tpl
<td class="VertMenuLeftColumn">
{if $categories ne "" and ($active_modules.Fancy_Categories ne "" or $config.General.root_categories eq "Y" or $subcategories ne "")}
{include file="customer/categories.tpl" }
<br />
{include file="customer/categories_type.tpl" }
{/if}
Any help would be great!
