Display categories in main section on front screen

[launcap]

Hi,

 

I have managed to remove the "new products for month" box on the front screen and replace it with the top-level categories view (ie the same as the default 'Categories' box at top-left).

 

Sadly my boss is now asking if it is possible to have some extra text in this copy of the categories box - I've copied the categories.php as categories-frontpage.php and pointed the index.php at it but then I'm stuck.

 

Does anyone have a php script that does a category overview but includes the category image and some brief text?

 

Cheers,

Phil

I'm trying to figure out how to do this...Can you point me in the right direction? What files do I edit? Thanks!

Edit the main index.php and change the following:

 

<td><?php include(DIR_WS_MODULES . FILENAME_NEW_PRODUCTS); ?></td>

 

to:

 

<td><?php include(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'categories.php'); ?></td>
