you're welcome!

Here's another tip when working with CMSBuilder's fields and settings. Add this to your pages:

<?php if (array_key_exists('debug', $_GET)) {
<div style="text-align: left;margin-left: 150px; max-width: 950px; padding-top: 300px; padding-bottom: 100px;">
<hr>selectedRecord<hr>
<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap; font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace"><?php print_r(@$selectedRecord) ?></pre>
<br><br><hr>categoryRecords<hr><br>
<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap; font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace"><?php print_r(@$categoryRecords) ?></pre>
<br><br><hr>$SETTINGS<hr><br>
<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap; font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace"><?php print_r(@$SETTINGS) ?></pre>
<hr><hr>
</div>
} ?>

This way you can simply add &debug at the end of any urls to output all the category records fields and CMSBuilder's settings. Take care with this as it diplays your MYSQL username and password. Remove it as soon as you are done developing the site.

Try adding the code in red. Post back if it doesn't work, I know I have solved this before (.. or Jason will for sure :)

list($categoryRecords, $selectedCategoryRecord) = getCategories(array(
'tableName' => 'categories',
'defaultCategory' => 'first', // Enter 'first', a category number, or leave blank '' for none
'categoryFormat' => 'showall' // showall, onelevel, twolevel
));
