Im currently trying to implement a shop by brand section in a drop down menu.

<FORM action="home.php" method=GET name=cat_form>
<SELECT name=cat onChange="javascript: document.cat_form.submit()">
{section name=cat_num loop=$subcategories}
<OPTION value="{$subcategories[cat_num].categoryid}"{if $subcategories eq $subcategories[cat_num].categoryid} selected{/if}>{$subcategories[cat_num].category}</OPTION>
{/section}
</SELECT>
</FORM>

but the above once into a category it will then list the subcategories, but i just want the subcategories to be displayed under the specific cat.
what I require is for the main cat i created (ie. shop by brand) just to display the its subcategories subcategories

I have tried to include a if statement

{if $config.general.root_categories eq "351" loop=$subcategories}

in the form
but that just gives me a smarty php error of an unexpected $


any help would be grateful.

many thaks

Need to separate the two bits:

{if $config.general.root_categories eq "351"}
{section=sub_cat loop=$subcategories}
Your loopy bits
{/section}
{/if}

I know this is previous cos you have drop downs on your site now - but as these were hardcoded this might help.
