For now, I made mine in HTML - down and dirty in a content block. I'm not the best at code of any kind, but it works and I don't need to change it often.

I think what you're asking for should be a must for BVC6 - or a sympathetic forum participant.

Hi Joe,

That would be awsume if I could get it to work like that.

I'm not sure exactly how to do it.

1. I set up a category, selected 'Category with Subs'

2. I made a subcategory of that one, and also selected 'Category with Subs'

3. I created a Category Rotator, then selected the categories above, but only 1 shows up still.

I need it to appear as a grid, like the ProductGrid function.

Any help?

Thanks, ps, Mitch, I made a nice grid like yours using HTML, but my client is not html savy and he wants control over when he can arrange different category pics/links on the front page.... ahhh the headaches of working freelance

I think Mitch has the best idea. The problem with grid with subs is the display format not being all that customizable without tampering with all other cats using the same setup. Hard coding it into the html is probably the route we are going to go as well.

If you create an HTML block above and below your category grid and just start and end a DIV statement with a unique ID you can then carefully reference that CSS using the parent name as well as the child class... example:

HTML BLOCK 1:
<div id="NewDiv">

IN YOUR CSS:
.decoratedbox is everywhere, and if you make reference to it, you change it everywhere. But if you do this:

#NewDiv .decoratedbox
{
/* Make sure to overwrite each property you don't want to inherit */
}

HTML BLOCK 2:
</div>

You can now have a custom area.

The only uglyness is if you ever remove those HTML blocks this will break, and remember that Free Text Box tries to close your DIV statements if you open them again.
