[TYPO3-commerce] Building navigation menu using itemArrayProcFunc

[Jeroen Visser]

Hello Franz,
The reason I tried it like this is because the commerce menu is added
inside my normal menu. For example the menu looks likes this:

HOME	ABOUT US	CATALOGUS	CONTACT
	submenu		cat1		submenu
			cat2		submenu
			cat3

So when ($menuArr[0]['pid']==404) is true came at CATALOGUS and all the
cat1, cat2 and cat3 should be added to CATALOGUS. Otherwise the normal
procedure should take place to build the menu.

Filling the $conf array like you suggested at least got writ of the "No
category defined in TypoScript" error. But I still remain with "Error in
the typoScript configuration" which is displayed like the menu in the
end should look like:


I hope that this clarifies something about my reason to do it in this
way. Of course I'll be open for suggestions.

Thank's in advance.

Kind regards
Jeroen Visser
