hi, hope you can help,

basically I've been trying to : create a basic menu system of categories with sub-categories. 3 main categories, about 4 sub-cats in each category. from the index page only main categories should be visible as links.

From what I can see the best way to do this seems to be to hard code your links to all your categories and subcategories. Fine. But if I am in the 'about' category section I only want the subcats for the 'about' section to be visible, so I need to create new templates for each of my main category sections.

How do i do this and tie the url link to the category(or subcategory) with its new 'about' section index template?

so for my 'about' category link I want it to load the 'about' category template, for 'resources' the resources template etc.,

that way I think I can build the entire nav by hard coding all the links in the right templates.....

hope you can help!!
