But there must be a way to put an image there without a plugin.
Which file should i edit? whats the name of the file that the left menu is in?

if you want a sIMPLE image without <a href> and htmll code, JUST image, edit default.css file on template folder, then find :#menu{position:relative;float:left;width:160px;height:376px;padding:0;margin:0p x 0px 10px 0px; background-color:#34ccf1; }
<watch! some margin, color are different from standard css file, because its from my css> After background-color:#34ccd1; add line background:ur("images/mb.gif"; now line shuld be like this: {position:relative;float:left;width:160px;height:376px;padding:0;margin:0px 0px 10px 0px; background-color:#34ccf1; background:ur("images/mb.gif";} images/mb.gif thats a path for image file you can put there own path ex. img/menubackground.gif. Note. This image will bee seen under menu categories too (on left side) not just beyond menu. You can fix it making long image with transparency place under menu and content image below. Or define own menu colors on CSS. ITS a primitive method but for free. Note:This method is JUST SIMPLE image without a link or html code.

Hey i solved it!
In the templates/default folder i edit the categories_menu.tpl
This is how it looked like before:
<!-- BEGIN LIST_FOOTER --> <tr> <td class='menu_left_line'></td> </tr> </table> <br /> <!-- END LIST_FOOTER -->
Some trubles on GQ 1.2 because bit different file structure. On nwe GC 1.2 there are no tables but Div.: here a small fix for version 1.2 , in the same file categories_menu.tpl in templates folder. <!-- BEGIN LIST_HEAD --> <div id="menu"> <dl>
<!-- END LIST_HEAD --> <!-- BEGIN LIST_LIST --> <dt><a href="?p=productsList&iCategory=$aList[iCategory]">$ ;aList[sName]</a></dt> <!-- END LIST_LIST --> <!-- BEGIN SUB --> <dd><a href="?p=productsList&iCategory=$aList[iCategory]">$ ;aList[sName]</a></dd> <!-- END SUB --> <!-- BEGIN LIST_FOOTER --> </dl>
<!--here you can insert code for advert !!!!!-->
<a href="?p=productsList&iCategory=2"><img src='http://your.file.here./*jpg ' alt='' style='vertical-align: middle; padding: 0px;' target="_blanc"/></a> <!-- this was a simple code + link but for nowworking only a static link for a href=http://. inside pages makes an error ;/ -->
</div> <!-- END LIST_FOOTER -->

I have tried this in Quick.Cart.Loaded_v1.3 and get this error:
No block: NO_PHOTO in file: templates/categories_menu.tpl
Here is the code from categories_menu.tpl -
<!-- BEGIN LIST_HEAD --> <div id="menu"> <dl> <!-- END LIST_HEAD --> <!-- BEGIN LIST_LIST --> <dt><a href="?p=productsList&iCategory=$aList[iCategory]&sName=$aList[sNameUrl]"> ;$aList[sName]</a></dt> <!-- END LIST_LIST --> <!-- BEGIN SUB --> <dd><a href="?p=productsList&iCategory=$aList[iCategory]&sName=$aList[sNameUrl]"> ;$aList[sName]</a></dd> <!-- END SUB --> <!-- BEGIN LIST_FOOTER --> </dl> <br /> <br> <br><center><a href="?p=p_12&sName=help#ways_to_pay" target="_blank"><img src="$config[dir_files]/img/secure_payments.gif" width="80" height="80" border="0"></a></center> <br><center><a href="?p=p_12&sName=help#delivery" target="_blank"><img src="$config[dir_files]/img/delivery_info.gif" width="80" height="80"></a></center> <br> <br> </div> $sOnlineStatistics <br> <!-- END LIST_FOOTER --> <!-- BEGIN SELECTED --> <!-- END SELECTED --> <!-- BEGIN PHOTO --> <!-- END PHOTO --> <!-- BEGIN NOT_FOUND --> <div id="menu"> </div> <!-- END NOT_FOUND --> <!-- BEGIN NO_PHOTO --> <!-- END NO_PHOTO -->
I have also tried it with the '$sOnlineStatistics' before the </div> inside the <LIST_FOOTER> and the same thing happened.
Anyone know what to do? Thanks

Also, I didn't mention - the error message keeps disappearing sometimes but after a few times refreshing the page it comes back.

i got it to work in the ver 1.4.
in <!-- BEGIN LIST_FOOTER --> <tr> <td class='menu_left_line'></td> </tr> </table> <br> <br> <center> <img src='$config[dir_tpl]$config[dir_template]img/gratis.gif' alt='' style='vertical-align: middle; padding: 0px;' /> </center> <br> <!-- END LIST_FOOTER -->
