You may also customize your categories by using custom graphics for each of your categories. You may upload these custom graphics via the "Upload New Images". You may upload two different graphics for each category.

To upload a new graphics file, you must click on the "Upload New Images" link on the upper left-hand corner of the category's "Edit" page. Click on the browse button and locate the file, on your computer, click on the file then click "OK". Then click on the "Upload my Images" button, and your image will show up under the "existing images" section on the upload page. The upload page will automatically rename the graphic file you just uploaded but, it will not resize the photo at all.

1) In the main admin area, click on the "^ ALL configuration variables" Link located under the "Configuration Area" section.
2) Set the "Config_EnableManualCategoryListOrder" variable to "Y".
3) Click on the "Categories/Sub Categories". Then click on the "VieW ALL" tab. Use the "Category Order" field for each category to define the order in which the items will be displayed on the navigation menu, using any numbers. Lesser numbers will be displayed before greater numbers.

NOTE: Navigation menu links are controlled by the Categories table. "Navigation menu promotions" are an additional way to insert customized links and promotions into your navigation menu.

In order to add unlimited flexibility to your navigation area, we've created the "Specials" table. You may add promotional messages such as "Save over 30% during December only!". Let's take a look at some things you can do...

1) Creating a simply text promotion with link to an article for further details:

The previous promotion example would be displayed after all of the main navigation menu, but before the QuickLinks Menu. This is because we set the "Special Order" field to "25". The existing navigation menu items have the following pre defined order placemarks:

Search box = Position 10
Nav Menu 1 = Position 20
Nav Menu 2 = Position 30
