Hi efi-revivo,

I'm not absolutely clear on what you want to do but it you are using the built in category-to-menu feature of cmsb then you can use the following to create the menu:

          <ul>
            <?php foreach ($allCategories as $category): ?>
              <?php echo $category['_listItemStart'] ?>
              
              <?php if ($category['_isSelected']): ?>
                <b><a href="<?php echo $category['_link'] ?>"><?php echo $category['name'] ?></a></b>
              <?php else: ?>
                <a href="<?php echo $category['_link'] ?>"><?php echo $category['name'] ?></a>
              <?php endif; ?>
          
              <?php echo $category['_listItemEnd'] ?>
            <?php endforeach; ?>  
          </ul>

This uses the array created by the following:

list($allCategories, $selectedCategory) = getCategories(array(
    'tableName'            => 'product_categories', // put the category table name here
    'categoryFormat'    => 'onelevel', // showall, onelevel, twolevel, breadcrumb...
  ));

Which should be placed above the menu in the code (normally at the start of the page).

If this isn't what you're looking for please do let me know - if you can provide a link to the site and attach the code you're using that would be helpful.

Hope this helps,

Tom
