Would like a second category menu in footer

[jhdesign]

I'd like to add a simple horizontal menu above my copyright.

 

This menu will take out my category items.

 

IE: Category 1 | Category 2 | Category 3

 

I search the contribution but found nothing.

 

I wonder if there is a simple script out there to do this, or if someone that did this already can share the code.

 

Thanks

Jacob

 History: 1.1 Creation
          1.2 Modified query for compatibility with older databases
          1.3 Query in 1.2 was wrong for older databases
          1.4 SHOW_COUNTS test corrected
          1.5 Added COMPACT_CATEGORIES option to display all sub-categories on one line
          1.6 Removed COMPACT_CATEGORIES option
              Corrected the cpath generation
              Bold categories "path" to selected category, an idea from Peter F?rsicht
     1.7 Cleaned the way in which the categories are displayed - bold for the path, 
        ">" to indicate the current category, removed link to current category,
       only indent subcategories (top level are flush left)

Save this file in includes/boxes as categories1. This puts all your categories in a horizontally formatted style, and you can call it in your footer by adding this line:

 

<?php require(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'categories1.php'); ?>

Thanks worked great.

 

Anyway to not make it use the infobox css?

 

I noticed it uses the $info_box_content variable. Can that be changed to something else?

 

Thanks!
