So there's no way for them to figure out the correct menu item based on the category? Don't worry if that's the case, I can put something else in with similar functionality.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.")* Ther eis already a system to figure out the correct menu item based on the category. And you can see it used on the left categories listing module of your shop. The catch though is that for it to work, you need to select a main menu item in the "menu" option of the category listing module, and that main menu item must have directly into it one menu item per category. So I'm not sure if it doesn't work because you didn't select the menu item in the "menu" option of your module or if it's because your menu structure is not compatible with that feature. So check that "menu" option of your module and if it is already correct, then I'm afraid that there is no solution. Otherwise, setting it properly like you have for your other module might actually be enough.
