Okay... I finally came up with something that will work. But now after spending two days on this I find that an X-Cart user with the username TeleFirma had already done something very similar in this post:

Sure wish I had found that sooner! But here is what I did for anyone that wants to know:



I put this code into a file called quick_links.tpl

{* $Id: quick_links.tpl,v 1.00 01/12/2005 22:53:29 max Exp $ *}

{capture name=menu}
<form style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0" method="post" action="search.php" name="productsearchform1">
<input type="hidden" name="mode" value="search" />
<input type="hidden" name="sort" value="price" />
<input type="hidden" name="sort_direction" value="0" />
<input type="hidden" name="posted_data[price_min]" value="0.00" />
<input type="hidden" name="posted_data[price_max]" value="9.99" />
Under $10.00
</form>

<form style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0" method="post" action="search.php" name="productsearchform2">
<input type="hidden" name="mode" value="search" />
<input type="hidden" name="sort" value="price" />
<input type="hidden" name="sort_direction" value="0" />
<input type="hidden" name="posted_data[price_min]" value="10.00" />
<input type="hidden" name="posted_data[price_max]" value="20.00" />
$10.00-$20.00
</form>

<form style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0" method="post" action="search.php" name="productsearchform3">
<input type="hidden" name="mode" value="search" />
<input type="hidden" name="sort" value="price" />
<input type="hidden" name="sort_direction" value="0" />
<input type="hidden" name="posted_data[price_min]" value="20.00" />
<input type="hidden" name="posted_data[price_max]" value="40.00" />
$20.00-$40.00
</form>

<form style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0" method="post" action="search.php" name="productsearchform4">
<input type="hidden" name="mode" value="search" />
<input type="hidden" name="sort" value="price" />
<input type="hidden" name="sort_direction" value="0" />
<input type="hidden" name="posted_data[price_min]" value="40.00" />
<input type="hidden" name="posted_data[price_max]" value="1500.00" />
Over $40.00
</form>
{/capture}

{ include file="menu.tpl" dingbats="dingbats_yarrow.gif" menu_title="Quick Links" menu_content=$smarty.capture.menu }

And then I put this into customer/home.tpl where I wanted it to show up.

{ include file="customer/quick_links.tpl" }

That's it....
