[TYPO3-ect] mergeExtendingTCAs

[Elmar Hinz]

Hi Franz,

I hope I understand the problem. Here comes the information you demand:

    tx_div::loadTcaAdditions($ext_keys);

   /* loadTcaAdditions($ext_keys)
    *
    * Your extension may depend on fields that are added by other
    * extensios. For reasons of performance parts of the TCA are only
    * loaded on demand. To ensure that the extended TCA is loaded for
    * the extensions you depend on, you apply these function.
    *
    *  @param array     extension keys of TCA additions to load
    */

hint{
  In lib/div we treat acronyms (TCA, PHP) like normal words in
  camelCase, to prevent long chains of uppercase and to have a clear
  simple way to handle it all.

  wrong: myPHPXMLParser();
  right: myPhpXmlParser();
  right: loadTcaAdditions();
}
