[TYPO3] "Connecting" comments extension to fe_users

[Søren Malling]

Hej Dmitry,

Thanks for the great answer, I'm glad to hear about the hook.

I've found the function processSubmission() in
EXT:comments/pi1/class.tx_comments_pi1.php, but if i understand your reply
(and the whole conecpt of hooks) that's not the file for me to edit? Instead
i should turn my head to the ext_localconf.php file in the root of the
specific extenstions folder (EXT:comments/)(?). Right now I've inserted a
line like this


if (t3lib_extMgm::isLoaded('tt_news')) {

$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['EXTCONF']['tt_news']['extraItemMarkerHook'][$_EXTKEY]
= 'EXT:comments/class.tx_comments_ttnews.php'
}

But how do I declare the extra field "group". Will I have to extend the
table through "kickstarter" (or maybe directly thorugh phpMyAdmin) and how
to I add the specific value to the field, from this hook?

This is my first try on using the hook function, and unfortuantely
http://typo3.org/development/articles/how-to-use-existing-hooks/page/4/didn't
give me much help.

Thanks very much for your help on this one!

Best regards

Søren
