[TYPO3-bugs] open bug #19739

[Benjamin Mack]

Hey Franz,

I really don't see this "required" for the core. This are the reasons why:

1. If you need to ship custom TypoScript code based if an extension is
loaded, this should be done in ext_localconf.php with certain
conditions. Why? Adding a lot of TypoScript conditions (even shipped
with an extension) leads to a lot of multiple caching, thus I'm against
using TS condition a lot.

2. Checking for an extension should be done at ext_localconf.php time.
E.g. A lightbox extension ships an adaption for tt_content and tt_news,
adding TypoScript as static includes, for each extension. This is how
most people do it these days, or with options in Constant Editor.

3. I have - seriously - quite some TS conditions that are great for our
projects. But: I can register my own now, in a very nice way and ship it
as an extension, which I do.

I hope the ext_localconf.php solution works for your needs.

All the best,
Benni.
