[TYPO3-dev] Copy files to fileadmin after installing an extension?

[Richard Davies]

Hi,

To automatically insert records into the database, you create a file called
'ext_tables_static+adt.sql' and put insert queries into it line by line.
This creates a line in the extension manager for 'import static data for
{tablename}'. Heres a truncated example:

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS tx_dietitians_status;
CREATE TABLE tx_dietitians_status (
    uid int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
...
...
    PRIMARY KEY (uid),
    KEY parent (pid)
);
INSERT INTO tx_dietitians_status VALUES (1....
INSERT INTO tx_dietitians_status VALUES (2...

As for the creating files/moving them, I've never done it myself, I guess
you could add a one off function to be called as a user function typoscript
in ext_typoscript_setup.txt. Typo3 documentation is pretty bleh, I found
this on the net which might help :
