As Franz mentioned earlier in this topic, the author of nsb_cat2menu posted 
an example for tt_products (see Franz's post for the address). There are a 
couple issues with that example:

(1) First of all, the author asks to modify some class in tt_products. In 
the current version of tt_products, the class was exactly the same as what 
the author asked to be modified. This could either mean that tt_products 
authors made that change in their later releases or I was not able to get 
the difference. In each case, it is not a good idea to write a plugin which 
needs another plugin to be modified.

(2) The example that the author provided could only generate the products 
categories in the menu and not the products in each category (I did try 
adding the 2nd and 3rd levels as it is given at the end line of the TS 
example). If anyone manages this to work it would be good to have a working 
example.
