Displaying <%$categories%> on a custom page

[echo@]

Hi

I want to display the category folders on a seperate page, this page would be a custom one created in indexu.

The file would be called directory.html, and the url would go like this "page.php?id=directory"

After reading a prior post relating to this, it seems the only method of displaying <%$categories%> would be through the index.php page only..

O.k so custom pages are html only and from what i gather indexu does not create an assocsiated php file to accomodate the html file.

So could i just copy the index.php and rename to directory.php and point the php file to the new directory.html.

The reason im doing this (or want to ) is because i have 230 or so categories that I want in a page of its own called "directory".

Im aware that you could configure the .htacsess file to redirect to another page ( as an index ) then use the original index.php as the directory page.


I this still the method,

You could use the code from the categories block and place it on the custom page. And yes, you could copy the index and remove everything except for the categories.
