[ic] How to create [same name] subcategories

[Gina K. Anderson]

John,

|Have "Dog Products" be the area, and "Food" be the category...

Well, that's actually how I have it (or had it), there is no link to either Dog
Products or Cat Products, they are only headers for the categories. But I still
don't think that helps me because I still have only one category "Food" when I
need Food for dogs and Food for cats seperated. I need the admin to show two
Food categories (Dog Food and Cat Food) so the client can just choose which
category to put it in, however, the store needs to dsiplay only "Food" under
each 'area'.
