[TYPO3] No .expAll for HMENU .Special = UserFunc - any workaround ? [commerce]

[R. van Twisk]

Amiran,

as far as I can see is that the function as shown in setup.txt doesn't
return sub categories but only the first category.

It does return pages under a subcategory which is weird... But that 
might have
something todo with the way commerce works... I am not sure.

I also did notice that using there function it looks like that processing
the data is really slow.

I am currently writing my own getCategories function. For now it ony returns
the the array with parent_category. Will that works for you (so no MM 
relations).


cheers,
Ries
