[TYPO3-dev] how to get complete TCA after extending a table?

You may want to take a look at extension "examples" which - amongst 
others - extends table fe_users. If you look at file ext_tables.php you 
will see that the new fields are first defined in an array 
($tempColumns) and are then added with the 3 following steps:

t3lib_div::loadTCA('fe_users');
t3lib_extMgm::addTCAcolumns('fe_users', $tempColumns, 1);
t3lib_extMgm::addToAllTCAtypes('fe_users', 
'tx_examples_options;;;;1-1-1, tx_examples_special');

HTH
