Introduction

.. _Two-special-features:

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:

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'.

.. _Renaming-many-titles:

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.
