Guide 5: Creating Your First Stand-Alone Extension

  • 587 Accesses

Abstract

Guide 3 explained the extensibility of TYPO3 using extensions, and in Guide 4, we built custom content types to extend TYPO3’s content element rendering. A lot of TYPO3’s flexibility comes through the extension API, which allows you to add functionality without changing the core.

This is a preview of subscription content, access via your institution.

Notes

  1. 1.

    At the time of writing, extension builder does not yet officially support TYPO3 v10, but the development branch is already being used with TYPO3 v10, so we expect this to change soon. Find out more at https://github.com/FriendsOfTYPO3/extension_builder.
