[TYPO3] A few questions on data structures and TYPO3

[Daniel Smedegaard Buus]

Okay, so I'm examining code generated by the kickstarter and some API
functions regarding database communications.

Regarding the kickstarter generated code, please tell me if this is
correctly concluded by me:
- The way the content that a given plugin sports is edited and presented in
the backend is not controlled by the plugin per se, but by the *structure*
of the tables that the plugin creates, as instructed by the TCA. Meaning
that, I cannot, for instance, put in customized fields in an editor that
are based on pure PHP, for instance, or some calculations on data from
other sources. In the kickstarter generated code there are php functions
for frontend plugins, but not for backend presentation. Correct?

Regarding the API, in this case t3lib_befunc, it seems clear that there's
absolutely no way to get around using uid fields for primary keys without
doing heavy modification on core code. Correct?

Thanks in advance,
Daniel
