I am working on setting up an online bead shop for my wife. Website is jewelryfindingsandbeadsupplies.com and I would like to know if it is possible to have more than one category box in CS-Cart? In other words, instead of having just the single category box titled Categories, I’d like to have a box for Beads, a box for Findings, and a box for Jewelry. I was looking at the blocks and was thinking that I could just add 2 other blocks for categories and name them what I want, but I don’t know how the appropriate categories and products would be assigned to those blocks.
So I’d want the top block as:
Beads
Glass
Crystal
Gemstone
etc.
Second Block:
Findings
Split Rings
Crimp Beads
Clasps
etc.
Third Block:
Jewelry
Jewelry Sets
Necklaces
Earrings
etc.
How would I set up these blocks and have those categories assigned to the proper block?
Go to design/blocks and add new block and select:
block content: categories
filling: manually
group:left column
app. type: text links:
wrapper: sidebox important
next, go to the new block in the left column and fill it with categories.

Colortone, I tried this but all I get is the categories listed 3 times.
Any other ideas?
Check the image, you have to add manually the categories you want for that particular block.
Thanks colortone, that helped so much and makes the site look much better.
