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:
Code
          <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:
Code
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
