Hey there.
I just stumbled across some changes in 6.1 that feel pretty nice but are not
completely documented.
One of them is the new way of creating TCA.
Some online resources [1] tell ne to create files like
EXT:{extkey}/Configuration/TCA/{tablename}.php and make them return the tables
TCA.
This makes adding new tables via ext_tables.php obsolete, as well as the
dynamicConfigFile.
Well, I cannot find any official documentation about this. Instead, the current
Core API [2] tells me to use ext_tables.php.
Using the TCA/{tablename}.php file that returns the TCA for that file works
pretty well and looks nice. So I would like to stick to that.
But what’s the current way of extending existing tables?
My first idea was to just create e.g. a file called “pages.php” that returns
only a part of pages TCA. I was hoping that the core mechanism would
array_merge_recursive. But that seems to be not the case, the result reduces
the pages TCA to my column only.
So, what to do now? Should I create TCA/{tablename}.php files for my very own
tables without ext_tables.php on the one side but add extending code to the
ext_tables.php on the other side?
