[TYPO3-dev] PATCH: Preserve link parameters in HMENU with special=language

[Aulis Telle]

Hi,

I'm developing a new website for our university institute and we  
needed a language selection menu with flags. I wanted to code as  
little custom code as possible so I used the integrated HMENU with  
special=language. This works really good except that link parameters  
for the current url are not preserved. But this is important, e.g.,  
if you are on a news page and want to read this news item in another  
language.

So I dived into the core typo3 code and found a place to fix this.  
With the attached patch (against typo3 3.8.1) to the file  
class.tslib_menu.php I introduced a boolean configuration parameter  
"preserveLinkParameters". If it is unset, the behavious is as before.  
If it is true, link parameters are preserved.

What do you think of the attached patch? It works great for me. It  
would be really great to see this (or something else with the same  
functionality) in typo3 4.0.

Regards

Aulis
