I have used this method many times with no problem, however, now I come to set it up with v.5 series I just cannot get it to work!
I have my usual toplist showing toplevel categories as a menu - no problem there. However, I want that to also show on non wsn pages so I do the following for javascript export...
To generate: export-menu|categories,priority;name,50,ascending,parent='0' ,,,0,0,0,0,0,0,,0
to file: menu.js
I call it: <script language="javascript" src="http://www.123photographs.co.uk/javascript/menu.js"> </script>
My export-menu.tpl...
<!-- BEGIN TOPLIST --> <CONFIG>categories,priority;name,50,ascending,parent ='0',,,0,0,0,0,0,0,,0</CONFIG> <li><a href="{CATURL}" title="{CATNAME}">{CATNAME}</a></l i> <!-- END TOPLIST -->
I also tried giving the toplist a number, but that didn't work.
I actually tried this for you and was getting the same thing as you. Then I looked at Paul's settings and noticed that his template name is exportmenu not export-menu. Took out the - and it worked for me. Give it a try see if that helps.
Oh, and I also noticed you have a semi-colon and not a comma after priority. Not sure if that makes a difference, but I've only seen commas in toplists.
Taking the hyphen out made it work! Obviously v.5 no longer likes that. I didn't think of that because Paul had said he had cut and pasted what I had put.
The semi-colon tells it that there are two sortings - first by priority and then by name.

Try changing
if ($template) $template = new template('custom/'. $template .'.tpl');toelse $template = new template('javascript_export.tpl');
if (!$template) $template = new template('javascript_export.tpl');in exporter.php.Expert

Well, all I can say is that these settings produce this result.

not for me!
I noticed that you didn't have all the commas and zeros after parent='0' so I removed them in case that was the problem, but it wasn't.
My menu.js file just shows...
document.write('');

Ah. The - character is a directory separator for custom templates, same as /. Should never have worked.
