##  Define your sub categories here ############
##  | Cat Dir Created | | Ref to above main Title | | sub cat Title |
##    antiques1 =>         '<!--antiques-->           Glassware',

%category = (

       antiques1 => '<!--antiques-->General Antiques',
       antiques2 => '<!--antiques-->Antique Prints & Artwork',
       antiques3 => '<!--antiques-->Asian Antiques',

etc

You should note that the categories are built in two tables as shown above (your actualy table will be much bigger).

As an example.

Pretend that you have no installed categories and that you wanted to add the antiques category. You would first need to create the main category which would look like this:

antiques => 'Antiques',

You would then need to add the sub-categories (in the next table) which would look like

antiques1 => '<!--antiques-->General Antiques', 
antiques2 => '<!--antiques-->Antique Prints & Artwork',

Note that each line starts with a new number and all words are lowewer case EXCEPT the sub category.

Simply follow the above principle to create your category tree.

Alternativeley,  Members can contact support to request that their category structure be changed for them.  This service costs £14.99.
