[TYPO3-english] How to hide fields in BE forms from extensions for all users ?

[Christoph Stadler]

Thanks for your help Tomas,

i have tried to use tcamanipulate but cannot figure it out, there is not 
much in the documentation to help ... as i understand you have to 
install the extension and then use the user page TSconfig ? WHat would 
be the syntax for hding those fields ?

just to clarify my first message, i modified the TCA by going to the 
Configuration backend module, selected $TCA from the popup, and then 
navigated my way to the field i was looking for. Following your 
suggestion i have modified the values [0] and [1] in the Types section. 
Here is the extTables.php file that is generated by typo3 after i 
clicked the 'Write to configuration' button:
<?php
/**
  * Overriding $TCA
  *
  * The TYPO3 Configuration Array (TCA) is defined by the distributed 
tables.php and ext_tables.php files.
  * If you want to extend and/or modify its content, you can do so with 
scripts like this.
  * Or BETTER yet - with extensions like those found in the 
typo3conf/ext/ or typo3/ext/ folder.
  * Extensions are movable to other TYPO3 installations and provides a 
much better division between things! Use them!
  *
  * Information on how to set up tables is found in the document "Inside 
TYPO3" available as a PDF from where you downloaded TYPO3.
  *
  * Usage:
  * Just put this file to the location typo3conf/extTables.php and add 
this line to your typo3conf/localconf.php:
  * $typo_db_extTableDef_script = 'extTables.php';
