This neat tip was shared with me by Mike Beebe.

Browse to search.php or .asp, view the page source in the browser.
Look for <option value=""> just below that will be the section id's. Make note of these as we will be using them next to define which category to display for best sellers.

If you are using the vsadmin/includes for best sellers add the parameter there.
PHP - $crosssellsection="284";
ASP - crosssellsection=284

If you define the best sellers directly on a page you would add the parameter on the page like
<?php
$crosssellaction='bestsellers';
$crosssellsection="284";
$csnobuyorcheckout=TRUE;
$csnoshowdiscounts=TRUE;
$csnoproductoptions=TRUE;
?>
<?php include "vsadmin/inc/inccrosssell.php" ?>

ASP
<%
crosssellaction="bestsellers"
crosssellsection=284
%>
<!--#include file="vsadmin/inc/inccrosssell.asp"-->

Its possible to display more than one section by separating them with a comma 15,20,30 you can also have different multiple sections on the home page for best sellers.

I have had fun with it I hope you will also - Thank you Mike
