[TYPO3-dev] conditional TCA changes

[Dirk Wenzel]

Hi Philpp,
and thank you.
I wanted to stick to the existing field in order to be able to use the 
existing functionality. (sorting news records by date - to be more 
precise: Sort by year and handle years before 1970).

Unfortunatly I found out that the controller doesn't process negative 
timestamps as expected. Therefore I decided to switch to another - much 
less elegant - solution: Years as predefined categories. Urgh!

Just to state it clear: this is not tx_news' fault but a result of the 
handling of DateTime values by unix timestamps.

Cheers
Dirk
