[TYPO3-shop] specify category id for products:list on a page; mbi_categories

[Andrew Davis]

So placing
defaultCategoryID = 12
must happen in template setup, not in page TSConfig.

yes it is a little awkward to have template for each product page, but i 
only have 6 or o so i might do that since i sont want category menu on 
those pages.

thanks,
andrew
