Hi,

I have the same problem. Therefore, I try to assign the catUid from the 
URL with:

shopcat = TEXT
shopcat.data = GPvar:tx_commerce_pi1|catUid

lib.shopnav = HMENU
lib.shopnav {
         special = userfunction
         special{
                 userFunc = user_tx_commerce_catmenu_pub->init

                 # Kategorie fuer Startebene

category < shopcat

                 # zeige Producte
                 showProducts = 0

                 # PID fuer die Anzeige der Seite
                 overridePid = {$plugin.tx_commerce_lib.overridePid}
         }

But anything goes wrong, because this runs in a 'No category defined in 
TypoScript: lib.tx_commerce.navigation.special.category'.

What is the problem and how can I fix it?

regards,

Robert
