TYPO3 Additional-TCA by coding.ms
The TYPO3 Additional-TCA Extension keeps TCA configurations clean and maintainable. It provides reusable methods for tab labels and common fields such as language and visibility, plus practical Form Engine fields for currency, percent, time, weight, phone numbers, notices, date and datetime values, badge suggestions, and collapsible textareas.
