I'm looking for a way to create a tabbed list that displays both Categories and Manufacturers.

For a perfect example, see the "Categories/Brands" tab on the left of this page:

How can this be done on 4.2?

It should be a matter of making "buttons" that if "categories" is clicked the categories menu is displayed, and if "brands" is clicked the manufacturers menu is displayed.

if "brands" {include manufacturers.tpl} /if
"cats" {include categories.tpl}

Hi JWait,

I was going with that same logic. I'm just stumped on how to implement it.

Just make a .tpl that has the options you need, "brands" and "cats" that has "buttons" for each. You can call it brands-cats.tpl. Make the "brands" button call the skin1/modules/Manufacturers/menu_manufacturers.tpl, and the "cats" button call the skin1/customer/categories.tpl and put brands-cats.tpl in your menu.
