"section" is the way to go.

If you are writing a FE-Plugin try:
$link = $this->cObj->typoLink( $category, $conf );

If you want to call the typoLink method from a "subclass" of you extension
just pass the $this pointer to an ->init() method of the subclass:

$subobj->init($this);

function init(&$parentObj) {
	$this->pObj = &$parentObj;
}

in you subclass then create the link with:

$this->pObj->cObj->typoLink(...);

if you REALLY need to instanciate your own cObj you will have to set some variables
in it so it works correctly (AFAIK is valid for everthing :)


If everything fails have a look if $pageID is really set. If 'parameter' is set at least
a link to the correct page should get generated.
