Multistore and Block top menu

[Artx]

I`ve upgraded PS 1.3 shop to 1.5.6 and activated multistore, and added three more shops, and csv-imported in those 3 shops categories and products.

 

For all of the 4 shops I`ve created 4 root categories, respectively. Now, when I go to top horizontal menu module I see only categories from the first shop(witch I upgraded from PS 1.3).

If I select any of other 3 shops in top menu module, there are no options to select and add to menu categories to Top menu from those shops.

 

I allready discovered that if i go to \modules\blocktopmenu\blocktopmenu.php and change:

		// BEGIN Categories
		$this->_html .= '<optgroup label="'.$this->l('Categories').'">';
		$this->getCategoryOption(1, (int)$id_lang, (int)Shop::getContextShopID());
		$this->_html .= '</optgroup>';

the shops root category id manually from 1 to respective shops root category id

// BEGIN Categories
		$this->_html .= '<optgroup label="'.$this->l('Categories').'">';
		$this->getCategoryOption(555, (int)$id_lang, (int)Shop::getContextShopID());
		$this->_html .= '</optgroup>';

, then the needed categories are showing up. Why is that so ?

I`ve setup another installation and tried to reproduce that (thistime without upgrading anything) and everything goes well, without any hacks. Am I missing some setting/have incompleate database ?

OK. I did solve it like this:

		// BEGIN Categories
		$this->_html .= '<optgroup label="'.$this->l('Categories').'">';
		$this->getCategoryOption((int)Category::getRootCategory()->id, (int)$id_lang, (int)Shop::getContextShopID());
		$this->_html .= '</optgroup>';

I`d like to hear an approvement that it`s OK and will not cause furtcher probems somehow, somewhere.
