Goals

  • I know about the different sections of the TCA (ctrl, columns, palettes, …).
  • I know how to configure rendering of a table in backend forms.
  • I know how the TCA controls information processing by the TYPO3 core (DataHandler).
  • I know how the TCA is compiled from different extensions and cached.
  • I can create a compliant TCA for my extensions.
  • I can extend the TCA of existing tables from the core or other extensions.
