What does it do?
Adds an extra tag called {exp:categories} that, unlike {exp:channel:categories} can get category information without being tied to a channel.
This way you can let a client edit categories (lists basically) which you use in form dropdowns, etc.
Parameters
* category_group_id (required) the group id of the category to get
* url_title (optional) if specified the tag will only get information about a specific category (with that url_title)
Variables
* {category_name}
* {category_url_title}
* {category_image}
Usage example
This example will populate a dropdown list using the categories in group_id 4:
{exp:categories category_group_id="4"} <option value="{category_url_title}">{category_name}</option> {/exp:categories}
And this will populate a form with some hidden values pointing to category images:
{exp:categories category_group_id="4"} <input type='hidden' name='{category_url_title}_logo' value='{category_image}'/> {/exp:categories}
