Description

Trying to create a new content based on the content type "special menus / content element for selected categories", I realize that I need to modify /typo3/sysext/frontend/Configuration/TCA/tt_content.php and more problematic, the function getCategoryFieldsForTable() of the file typo3/sysext/core/Classes/Category/CategoryRegistry.php.
My goal is to create a content like "special menus / content element for selected categories" that displays the full contents instead of the header.
Have I missed something ?
If there's no other way, that's a pity to modify the core files just to do that.

The rendering of selected content elements is driven by TypoScript, so you should have all the flexibility you need. Check the following property:

tt_content.menu.20.categorized_content.conf.tt_content

By default, it is a simple TEXT object, but you could make it a COA for more complex needs or just let it copy "tt_content", so that you would have a full rendering.
