    Okay, the lightbulb is starting to glimmer. Remove the instance of
    <mvt:item name="category_tree" /> where ever it occurs and replace it with
    your own HTML?

      Yes. You can't use tokens in the html because there is no parser like
      the openui parser. At this point, I wouldn't change every page because
      there is hope that Miva Corp will make that category tree more
      granular. There are some technical reasons they opted to hide the
      code. Perhaps they are looking for a safer way to open that up that
      will not cause a store to fail. There are a lot of things a store owner
      can screw up on other pages and those pages will still run. But when
      you get to the recursive mechanism for rolling through parent and child
      categories, the code is a bit tricky.

        LOL - thank goodness I don't have a webcam...I look pretty silly in my
        floppy hat and sweater...they have the AC down to 65 trying to cool off
        the other side of our office. But what does this have to do with a silly
        roaster and cats in trees?

          YES. You must remove every instance rather then in just one place.

            It is already on the wish list. During my template development in the beta
            stage I made this request and it was escalated to development. Its on its
            way I suppose. But don't quote me on that until you see it in front of you.

            Many of the items have editable configuration screens. The cat tree is
            not currently one of them. Send you desires to their wishlist.

              And here is a trick for that. When you modify your page templates include in
              your layout whatever you would normally put in your global footer. This
              leaves the global footer free. Put your desired replacement category tree
              into the global footer area. Now use your category tree anywhere you want in
              your templates by calling the category footer item. ;-)

              Everything in one place. Need to make a change to your replacement category
              tree? Make the change in global footer and hit update. Updated on all pages
              that use it.

              I did this with the non-product menu on my demo so I didn't have to go
              through all the pages whenever there was a content change.

                [t5c] Morph Strings and Snippets



                Does anybody have a list of all of the template strings yet with brief
                descriptions? Maybe even a wad or two of code snippets?

                Come on Bill & Bill help a guy out will ya. I could compile it but there is
                only so much time in the day. I keep wishing there were about another 8
                hours in the day, but then I realized that would just be longer that I had
                to work. Geesh.
