[TYPO3] // Show disable RTE checkbox

Yes, of course. The TCA-Options which are set in the core can be over-... 
uhm. overrided? - can be altered by any extension. TCA options that are 
set in an extension, however, can only be altered by extensions that are 
included AFTER the original extension. The order of the inclusion is, as 
far as I remeber, set in localconf.php in the 'ext_list'-Key of the 
Config-Array.

Just loadTCA('tt_content'), debug($TCA['tt_content']) and search for the 
field in question. Override it by setting the new value in the array.

By the way, it just occured to me that there are TWO checkboxes to 
disable the RTE in the backend. I am speaking of the checkbox that's 
located right below the RTE itself in the TCEform.

The other box, which is located *beneath* the form, just below the option 
"Show field descriptions", is a completly different story, I guess...

Why do we need two similar checkboxes in two different places anyway?

For the field that's located in the actual form, it can be done by PHP in 
the ext_localconf.php file of any extension.

This can be done as described above, since those are all fields in an 
TCEform.

Who doesn't? ;-)

As I said, no TS, but PHP. I guess you know how to set up a minimal 
extension and how to set values in an array, so you can take it from 
here.
