[TYPO3-commerce] moving commerce folders out of typo3 root causes problems

but I can move the DAM folder without any problems. Maybe you should not 
check for a folder in the rootline but for a folder marked with a 
special flag like "contains plugin -> commerce sysfolder". You now might 
say that you would have to do some recursive searches to get the lowest 
folder - but that's not the fact, as the lowest folder also has the 
lowest UID ;) So you can determin the correct main folder also with 1 
single SQL call (SELECT * FROM pages WHERE pages.module='commerce' ORDER 
BY pages.uid LIMIT 1).

Thought so - but my little suggestion might do the trick?
