I wanna create a vertical menu that contains all of the categories of my gallery. Any code tips?

You need to query the database to get the categories. Something like

Code: [Select]

$result = cpg_db_query("SELECT * FROM {$CONFIG['TABLE_CATEGORIES']}");
$categories = cpg_db_fetch_rowset($rowset);
mysql_free_result($result);should return you the whole categories table.

And how can I call it, if the template base is an .html file, and don't supports php?

I suggest that you start to read the docs now to understand how the template system works in Coppermine.

Ok, that way the categories table is stocked. How to 'echo' it? How would stay the php code?

Something like

Code: (http://de2.php.net/manual/en/control-structures.foreach.php) [Select]

foreach ($categories as $key => $category) echo $category['name']should work (not tested).

Did this using html to show an static categories menu. No problem at all as there won't be a new categorie.
Thanks for the help.
