You have no content specified. What do you want to show? If you want to show the category name and link, you need to type it: <a href="{CATURL}">{CATNAME}</a>.
Hi Paul, I need to show ALL the categories in a list so I can place it on the side as a navigation tool. What you typed prints the current categoy only.
Go to Admin -> Customizations -> Toplist Generator. At the bottom there's this box saying "Type the content of what you want displayed for each item here:" http://www.webmastersite.net/screenshots/22878.jpg
If you don't type anything there, nothing will ever show. You need to type in there the way you want each item displayed. In this case you want to type <a href="{CATURL}">{CATNAME}</a> there.
Thanks Paul! any way to do main categories only? I searched on scripts.webmastersite.net/w...s/wsnmanual/link.php?id=11 and tried some but I can't find. I thought about doing it via HTML only but I rather have it change language too like they do on the main page. Looking at main.tpl I didn't see a difference between cats and subcats.

I need to show a list of current categories, linked and everything, on the template (sitewide).
I tried creting a toplist, but it isn't working.
-- BEGIN TOPLIST 5 -->
<CONFIG>categories,name,50,ascending,,,,0,0,0,0,0,0</CONFIG>
<!-- END TOPLIST 5 -->
Any suggestions on what I am missing?
thanks,

I Use the following to produce a "menu"...
categories,name,50,ascending,parent='0',,,0,0,0,0,0,0
the parent=0 produces just the top level
