display zencart menu in a non-zencart page?

I have integrated CMS Made simple template with zencart,
But now I would like to integrate zencart menu with CMS Made simple template.

Or if I could just display the zencart menu in a non-zencart php file this would work.

example:

If I wanted to echo zencart menu into the zencart template I would use something like

<!--bof-drop down menu display-->
<?php require($template->get_template_dir('tpl_drop_menu.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'common'). '/tpl_drop_menu.php');?>
<!--eof-drop down menu display-->

But my attempts display the menu out of the zencart template have failed.

What the the ultimate end goal??

If to use ZenCart as the backend to your other script and allow buying etc from outside of ZenCart then security issues will break your attemtpts

Hello,
I use little bits of code to add the header and footer of My main CMS to a zencart install. Zencart admin is not changed. Just add blocks of code to the frontend.. Info: studio-owens.com/blog/CMS-Made-Simple-and-Zen-Cart-Template-Integration.htm

So it adds a header from CMS Script system.... where client can add pages to an information menu

Zencart has a good categories menu editor
And I am going to use CMS Script system for the information menu.

Like www.moontree.com.au

If I can echo the categories menu in my other template and direct the links to /zencart install

I don't know if this will be of any help http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&products_id=79

Assuming that Moontree is just an example and not your site, I hope you are not going to do as they did and make everything javascript so that visitors without that are forbidden to navigate the site...

Perfect :-) !!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks so much.
compatibility issue with 'cms made simple' system for some reason (working on it), but I have tested with direct PHP file and it works.
