[TYPO3-dev] sys_categories: API conflicts with core

[Caspar Stuebs]

Hi André,

> But is this really usefull?
> To have a file /Configuration/TCA/table_name.php and also
/Configuration/TCA/Overrides/table_name.php for just one table?
I think it is the correct way to do add categories to own tables.

> But as /Configuration/TCA/table_name.php just returns the array, it is
not possible to add the call to the catagory-api in THIS file. Ist hat
right?
That is right, as far as I know.

Regards
Caspar
