How to add a list of categories to a custom page?

[Rinner]

Hi! I want to add  a list of categories to a custom page(as it looks like on a main page), how it can be done?
I have tried to do it in this way, but it doesn't work.

Code: [Select]

{if categories}
{categories}
{if msg}
{msg}
{endif msg}
{endif categories}

... the tags will work if you use a template like "custom.html" in this way ...
... http:/ /www.example.com/4images/index.php?template=custom ...

... see at FAQ : http://www.4homepages.de/forum/index.php?topic=4996.0 ...

and what i should do if i am using custom.php page? (addcat.php from this mod)

... then you must insert the function / segment "--- Show Categories ---" from index.php as a copy in your addcat.php ...
