Hi

I am trying to change the behaviour of the archiving of tt_news, so that 
archiving works with both time and date, instead of only the date.
If I change the relevant entry in typo3conf/ext/tt_news/tca.php from 'date' 
to 'datetime' it works perfectly, but when I tried to make an extension, to 
do it the more 'correct' way, it does not work at all.

I looked at Zack's article on his website 
http://castironcoding.com/resources/typo3-tricks/single-typo3-tricks/

I created the extension and the ext_tables.php file only contains the 3 
lines below, but when I install the extension the listing of tt_news items 
don't show their title, and editing is not possible, ie. When I press edit, 
I get a new page but the tt_news content is not shown on the page.

Does anyone know how to do this, or can point me to the relevant docs ?


if (!defined ("TYPO3_MODE")) die ("Access denied.");
t3lib_div::loadTCA("tt_content");
$TCA['tt_news']['columns']['archivedate']['config']['eval'] = 'datetime';




Hi Allan. Maybe because you load the TCA for tt_content instead of tt_news?

Try changing

t3lib_div::loadTCA("tt_content");

to:

t3lib_div::loadTCA("tt_news");
