News categories in sidebar

[eddyR3]

Hey guys, hope you are well.

I need to display the categories from the News module in a sidebar, but cant seem to find out how to simply, show the categories in a list, in the sidebar.

For example :

Category 1
Category 2
Category 3...etc.

Is this possible with the standard news module? If not, any suggestions to how i can achieve this?

many thanks,
Eddy

From the News module's help:

(optional) action="default" - 'Override the default action. Possible values are:

"detail" - to display a specified articleid in detail mode.
"default" - to display the summary view
"fesubmit" - Deprecated to display the frontend form for allowing users to submit news articles on the front end. Add the {cms_init_editor} tag in the metadata section to initialize the selected wysiwyg editor. (Site Admin >> Global Settings)
"browsecat" - to display a browseable category list.

And of course that action has it's own customizable template(s).
