Unable to create TYPO3 tt_news category tree for news input

Question

I am using the extension tt_newswith my TYPO3 v7.6.18 (just updated from 6.2.31) and I have problems with the category tree. I did a bit more debugging for rendering categories tt_news, and this is the problem so far:

the old one is tca.phpas follows:

'category' => Array (
    'exclude' => 1,
    'label' => 'LLL: EXT: tt_news / locallang_tca.xml: tt_news.category',
    'config' => Array (
        'type' => 'select',
        'form_type' => 'user',
        'userFunc' => 'tx_ttnews_TCAform_selectTree-> renderCategoryFields',
        'treeView' => 1,
        'foreign_table' => 'tt_news_cat',
        'autoSizeMax' => 50,
        'minitems' => $ confArr ['requireCategories']? 10,
        'maxitems' => 500,
        'MM' => 'tt_news_cat_mm',
    ),
),

And this gives me the wrong results, which means that I do not get the tree, but I select multi. Now, when I change the type to user, I get this error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined method TYPO3 \ CMS \ Backend \ Form \ Element \ UserElement :: addSelectOptionsToItemArray () in /home/portal/typo3project/typo3conf/ext/tt_news/lib/class.tx_ttnews_TCAform_selectTree. line16ree

I checked the line in the class tx_ttnews_TCAform_selectTreemethod renderCategoryFieldsandand looks like this:

$selItems = $fobj->addSelectOptionsToItemArray($fobj->initItemArray($this->PA['fieldConf']),$this->PA['fieldConf'],$fobj->setTSconfig($table,$row),$field);

$fobj : function renderCategoryFields(&$PA, &$fobj) , - , addSelectOptionsToItemArray FormEngine, UserElement.

tca like tx_ttnews_TCAform_selectTree->renderCategoryFields, , .

, ?
