Default New section with popular categories

Hi Folks,

I need some help and I know how good most of you are at hacking to bits xcart.

We are looking to add a new section just above the categories on the left sidebar.

I have figured out that you can just include a tpl file and it will display it.

What i'm trying to do is add a section with our 5 most popular categories, these will be static and not dynamically generated.

Our site is www.robertsonpackaging.com

I tried editing the manufactures module but it doesnt show the same as a category would, ie its just shows a list of products.

I also tried just using html but not sure how to sort the css to look the same as the categories below which use fly out menus.

We need to have some existing categories listed above the existing categories list and then removed from the categories below. How would I go about this?

I have some limited php/html knowledge so can hack some bits together to get what i'm looking for but just can't seem to get my head round this smarty stuff just yet.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

D-A
