I am trying to create a widget or Plugin that will allow me to format the list of categories for the section that I am currently in. However I can not figure out how to get a list of categories for the section that I am in. Can you help?

Did you look in the existing files that create the categories? packages/vbcms/widget/category*.php

What I was doing was trying to modify the already existing categories widget, and was editing the selectionnavext.php file. However once I changed the <ul></ul> structure of the links to just a list of <a></a> links then the contents of the widget was no longer displaying.

It looks like there was some Javascript that was trying to phrase the html, because the newly formatted list of links did show up when viewing the source of the HTML enclosed in <noscript></noscript> tags.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
