[Typo3-dev] Configuring tables/fields for listing in Web > Page

[Kasper Skårhøj]

Yes, that is the way.

We cannot provide an API for this in extMgm because the key ...[cms]...
and format of what is in there is defined by the extension "cms". There
is no laws officially for that content, hence we can make no meaningful
API in extMgm.

You did it the right way, but if you did not specify the two tables in
an array as you did you wouldn't remove other extensions definitions and
there would be no problem as you descibe.
