[TYPO3-english] Config backend layout with custom database tables

[Jan Bednarik]

Hi,

there are a few things I don't understand. So you create a page and data 
is stored into tt_content by itself? Or you mean you create content on 
the page and the content goes to tt_content (which is the usual thing).

About that custom table, you want to insert a row when student page is 
created? Like a log? That can be done via TCEmain hook (just google it).

Or maybe, you want your content to be created in the new table rather 
than tt_content? Well, that's not possible. I could imagine you would be 
creating content in a special column for that (colPos) and then instead 
of table, you'd have a view which would select only content from this 
column.

Regards

Jan
