How do I limit the number of categories listed on the top navigation bar

purechemicals Total Posts: 23 Joined: 2010-08-18 Ignore user	This is the one issue that I have always had with magenta. I know this the issue is template specific but surely the developers must realise that people do want control over the number of categories displayed at the top. Anyway on my site I have about 20 top level categories that I wish to use. I wish to have these all displayed on the left hand side but only about six of our top selling categories at the top. I have tried various codes like the one in the link below but I can’t seem to get any to work. http://www.magentocommerce.com/boards/viewthread/79139/ Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
