[TYPO3-english] Hiding a tab from a content element in backend

[Kay Strobach]

Hello Enrique,

easiest way to get table names and fieldnames is to install firebug in
firefox (or use any other inspector your browser has)

-> hover the field and rightclick -> inspect element
-> each form field has an attribute called name e.g.:
   data[pages][65][shortcut_mode]
         ^^    ^^       ^^
      <table> uid    <field>

Open the first page in the rootline, where the fields should be hidden
and write the following in the options field:

   TCEFORM.<table>.<field>.disabled = 1

Having this options the fields should disappear.
Important, as mentioned before, you need to disable all fields of the
tab you wanna hide.

Additionally you may change the fieldorder directly in an extension via
ext_tables.php in the tca.
