[TYPO3-dev] Custom enablecolumns/enableFields for pages?

thanks for your feedback. Nice idea that would for sure work for less 
complex setups, but that's unfortunately no option here. It wouldn't be 
easily manageable by editors.


Until I find a better solution I now hook into the "getPage" function of 
class.t3lib_page.php and append my restricting clause to 
$GLOBALS['TSFE']->sys_page->where_hid_del. That seems to work for now, 
but doesn't feel right and is probably quite error prone. At least the 
menu rendering issue was fixed by this.

If somebody knows the reasons why it's currently done as is, I'd be glad 
to hear the story - just for my understandings. Thanks.
