[TYPO3] timtab: sidebar still shows all the news categories

[Bing Du]

Hi,

Typo3 V4.0.4
timtab: 0.5.11
ve_guestbook: 1.12.1

I've read through all the threads dated back from October 2005 in the
typo3-project-timtab archives.  I've found quite a few tips and tricks
that were not available in the timtab manual to fix my problems.  Some
threads were about how to limit blog categories to show in the sidebar.  I
tried the following suggestion I found in a thread,

- set the tt_news extension settings in the EM to use the General Record
Storage Page (GSRP)
- In your blog main page, set the GSRP of that page to your storage
folder of your blog entries.
- add your categories to this storage folder too.

However, the Categories section in the side bar still shows all the news
categories.  At this point, I'm clueless where I should go to check what
might be wrong.  I'd greatly appreciate any help.

Here is my tt_news config in timtab setup.

plugin.tx_timtab.displayCatMenu.targetPid = 2831

plugin.tt_news {

  templateFile = {$page.file.template_tt_news}

  singlePid = {$plugin.tx_timtab.blogPid}
  pid_list = {$plugin.tx_timtab_pi2.pidStorePosts}
  backPid = {$plugin.tx_timtab.homePid}

  displayList.date_stdWrap.strftime = %B %d, %Y
  displaySingle.date_stdWrap.strftime =  %A, %B %d, %Y at %I:%M %p

  dontUseBackPid = 1
  catTextMode = 3
  newsAmenuUserFunc =
  useHRDates = 1
  useHRDatesSingle = 1
  useSubCategories = 1
  limit = 10

  displayCatMenu {
    mode = timtab
    catmenu_stdWrap.wrap = <li><h2 class="news-catmenu">Categories</h2>|</li>
  }

  _LOCAL_LANG.default {
    archiveHeader = Archives
  }
}

[globalVar = GP:tx_ttnews|year > 0]
plugin.tt_news.limit = 100
[global]
[globalVar = GP:tx_ttnews|ps > 0]
plugin.tt_news.limit = 100
[global]

temp.list < plugin.tt_news
temp.list {
  code >
  code = LIST
}

temp.single < plugin.tt_news
temp.single {
  code >
  code = SINGLE
}

temp.archives < plugin.tt_news
temp.archives {
  code >
  code = AMENU
}

temp.categories < plugin.tt_news
temp.categories {
  code >
  code = CATMENU
}

Thanks much in advance,
