Would like to split up my menu (using STS)

[Boom]

Hey all,

 

I manage an OSC site here at www.woodwerks.com.

 

I use STS and found the file that handles my main menu on the left.

(includes/sts_templates/template name/boxes/infobox_categories.php.html

 

This is a shot of the file opened in Dreamweaver.

 

The problem is... I have no control over the category list. I just have "$content" where the list shows up. This wasn't a problem until today, when we decided we wanted to add a second set of top level categories. (They're going to be specialty stores)

 

Currently, when you click on the "search by brand" button, it takes you to a page of all of our brands. The problem is, I need to add subcategories to the brands, to organize them better. (some brands have 1500+ products) To do that, I need them to be actual categories. So I plan to make a category of each brand we want to feature, and organize their products properly.

 

This means I need some of the categories so "by application" can be listed in one spot, while the other categories "by brand" are listed in another spot. Like this:

 

 

So I don't know if I can simply have a "$content1" and "$content2 somehow, or maybe just modify the source, and put my separator graphic inbetween them wherever the $content is created.

 

How do I edit what shows up where the $content is?

 

Thanks so much in advance.
