Hi all,
I'm currently modifying home.tpl to fit a custom design. No problems so far with the css, xhtml...

However, one of the things I'd like to do is only show the "more important" categories on the home page.
By more important, I mean categories whose weight>0, and/or categories which have a picture assigned to them.
How should I go about accomplishing this task?

*** update ***
just realized that I can use the SRC of the default image to filter, like this:
{if $data[td]<>"" && $data[td].image<>"templates/MYSITE/images/folder.gif"}

I beleive you will have to edit the underlysing script to work with the weight, do you have the developer version?

Hi Larry,

Thanks for replying!
I got the developer version but would rather not mess with the core files as they tend to be overwritten during updates. Considering that this is a one-time job for a client who is not too web savvy, I prefer to keep stuff as simple as possible..
As I already mentioned, I managed to resolve the issue by filtering the default image url.

Thanks anyways,
Cheers

PS. Respect for all the helpful posts you made throughout these forums!
