[TYPO3-core] RFC: new function loadTcaAdditions in t3lib_div

[Franz Holzinger]

This is a SVN patch request. 

Type: 
library enhancement

Branches: 
4.x,trunk

User writes: 
When someone writes an extension of an extension e.g. using XCLASS then
the extending TCA fields to the original table are not used. Someone
would have to call tslib_fe::includeTCA(); but this would include all
possible TCA files when only one additional was needed.

Solution: 
Add a new function to t3lib_div which loads the extending TCA files
(ext_tables.php) of the extensions given as parameter array.
This code has been provided by Vikram Mandal.

Test:
This function has been used successfully within tt_products since many
months. It is needed for the next version 2.0.1 of static_info_tables
and its translation extensions which I want to upload asap.
