Introduction¶
Two special features!:¶
- TCA manipulation through pageTS. This way you can change extensions into other uses. Example: Change the title of a record type like this:TCA.tt_news.ctrl.title = Idea.Another example:TCA.tt_news.ctrl.canNotCollapse = 1If set, then the "Show secondary options" check box will not affect this table - no matter what, all fields and palettes are displayed in the main form at all times. Just like if the check box was always set
- Include your own libs for the backend:tx_tcamanipulate.includeLibs.yourkey = fileadmin/scripts/mylib.incI guess there are many uses. One example is if you wanted to use the label_userFunc field in the ctrl section in the TCA.
- It's also possible to rename many fields at once in the tceform. For more information on this look in the Administration section.
Why should I ever change the TCA and field titles?¶
Well, in my case I use the tt_news extension for several purposes. In conjunction with the mbl_newsevent extension I use it as a calendar for a church. In this case I would rename the text-field to "Sermon text". This way, it makes more sense for the BE-users which fields are used for what purposes.
Screenshots¶
In this example you see the tt_news news record. Here the title for text field is replaced with 'Sermon Text'.
Administration- TSconfig¶
Renaming many titles:¶
If you wish to rename many titles, this is the easiest way. Make a copy the language file and place it where you like(for example in uploads directory or in the same as the original). Then make the changes to the language file.
tx_tcamanipulate.renameFields.tx_cal_category = LLL:uploads/locallang_db.php:tx_cal_category
where tx_cal_category is the tablename.
