Thnx Balinor, using the webmaster mode I have found that it is either of the 2 files:
customer/main/subcategories.tpl
customer/main/subcategories_t.tpl
But if I added the code to either of these then it would show up on every subcategory page. So I assume I need to use if and else etc but im ok at click and paste and editing files but not at coding
so if anyone could advise it would be great..... this is an example of the code for the featured product manager that I want to add to specific subcategory pages:
{include file="customer/fts_featured_products.tpl" group="group_name"}
