Hey guys, I just got the code working with DSEFU's , v 4.0.17 Pro and figured it would be of use here since both seem to be a popular mod and I had seen at least one request in this thread.

Notes:
* This is the entire code for subcatecories.tpl
* Modified per Balinor's post on page 8 to use file system for images instead of a call to the database
* This code uses 4 columns. You have to set n in "div by n" to the (number of columns + 1). I also changed the width of the table to work with four columns, thus the "25%". Just change that value to the appropriate number for your number of columns (33% for 3, 20% for 5, etc).
* I used an image height of 50, so you may need to change that to your needs as well.

Thanks for this mod, it's definitely a good one. And thanks for this forum in general. I've found lots of good stuff here and figured I'd give something back with this post.
