kb_kickstarter

This extension allows you to easily create new tables and all their fields, so TYPO3 can handle them.

Usually when you want to have new tables for your own extensions, you can create them using either the extension kickstarter, or set up the tca.php, ext_tables.php and ext_tables.sql manually. Using this extension, you can simply create new TCA-Tables by creating a few records which define the table structure.

You simply create a sys-folder containing a record for each table and each field. You make a relation between the created table and field records, and tell the kickstarter to generate the ext_tables.php, tca.php, ext_tables.sql file for you. And there you are with your own custom tables.

This extension works very nicely together with kb_display. Using kb_display you can easily create list/detail views of your newly created tables without coding boring "_pi1" plugins.
