[TYPO3-dam-devel] RFC #10015: dam tries to load $TCA['tt_news'] without checking whether the ext is loaded

[Uschi Renziehausen]

Hi,

perhaps these lines should not be in dam, but can we please postpone further reorganisation to 1.2? If I remember right there was an issue with dam_ttnews, but I do not know whether or not these lines 
have to do with it.
