[TYPO3-dam] categories for pages

[Martin Baum]

hello
currently I'm working on the same problem - connecting the DAM  
categories with pages. You can find my solution below.

I placed this inside my tables.php file It's a part of the tx_dam  
$TCA definition, written by Rene Fritz:


/**************************************
  *
  *
  * Adding the category browser to the page - TCEForm
  *
  *
  */
$tempColumns = Array (
	"tx_testdamtree_dam_cats" => Array (  // your mm - table!	
		"exclude" => 1,		
		"label" => "LLL:EXT:test_dam_tree/ 
locallang_db.xml:pages.tx_testdamtree_dam_cats",		
		"config" => Array (
			'type' => 'select',
			'form_type' => 'user',
			'userFunc' => 'EXT:dam/lib/ 
class.tx_dam_tcefunc.php:&tx_dam_tceFunc->getSingleField_selectTree',
			'treeViewBrowseable' => true,
			'treeViewClass' => 'EXT:dam/components/ 
class.tx_dam_selectionCategory.php:&tx_dam_selectionCategory', //  
don't work here: $GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['EXTCONF']['dam'] 
['selectionClasses']['txdamCat']
			'foreign_table' => 'tx_dam_cat',
			'size' => 4,
			'autoSizeMax' => 30,
			'minitems' => 0,
			'maxitems' => 2, // workaround - should be 1
			'default' => '',
			'MM' => 'pages_tx_testdamtree_dam_cats_mm' // your mm - table!
		)
	),
);
t3lib_div::loadTCA("pages");
t3lib_extMgm::addTCAcolumns("pages",$tempColumns,1);
t3lib_extMgm::addToAllTCAtypes("pages","tx_testdamtree_dam_cats;;;; 
1-1-1"); // your mm - table!

Now a DAM - Category tree should be rendered in the TCE Form of the  
page record. hope this is helpfull.
if you have any suggestions about this, feedback whould be nice

Kind regards
