[TYPO3] engineering a module

[Ricardo Pereira]

    Hello Kamp,

    Have you tried the Kickstarter extension 
(http://typo3.org/extensions/repository/view/kickstarter/0.3.8/)? It 
generates code for new extensions based on selections you make on a very 
nice web user interface. It is really a great tool for creating 
extensions and learning about Typo3 as well.

    So, after you install it, go to the Extension Manager in Typo3 
backend and select the option "Make new extension" on the menu on the 
top of the page. Click the plus button on either of the following 
options "New Database Tables" or "Extend existing Tables". Then select 
the type "Textarea with the RTE" when adding your new field.

    Even if you don't end up using the code generated automatically by 
the Kickstarter, it is often useful to inspect it to learn how to do 
things "the right way".

    I hope this helps.

    Cheers,

Ricardo Pereira
