is there a way to limit the subcategories to 10? or even better just make the subcategories become two rows if say they are over 10.

display of category can be set by

Code:

{if $categories[cat_num].order_by lt 500}

this refers the the category position list.

Steve,

Please check your PM as I have updated the code a bit, but just need to resolve one slight issue.

Thanks.

Yes I realize that is how you limit the main categories but I want to limit the subcategories to a limit of 10 or so.

I am guessing here but you could try changing categories to subcategories

Code:

{if $subcategories[cat_num].order_by lt 500

Worth a try. I might be wrong.

use

Code:

{section name=cat_num loop=$categories max=10}

I can limit the main categories. That's no problem. Just change the {if $categories[cat_num].order_by lt 12} line to whatever number you want.

My situation is that I want to limit the subcategories that show up under the main category.

Check this out. It spreads my site out huge. http://www.kcautosound.com/store/home.php?cat=2 I need to limit the subcategories down to like ten. Sure I can just create another main category to pick up but would like to keep them all in the same main category.[/url]

Code:

{if $subcategories[sub_num].order_by lt 500}
<A href="home.php?cat={$subcategories[sub_num].categoryid}" class="submenuitem">
{$subcategories[sub_num].category}
</a>{if not %sub_num.last%} |{/if}
{else}{/if}
