Hi,
before I start coding, I wanted to ask, how best practice is to extend a
3rd party extension - in my case it's Powermail2.
I want to add functionality to add a PDF with all user data to the
double opt-in mail, if the user sending the form is still under 18.
I first thought about to extend the class that contains the methods I
want to override and symlink all files of powermail2 to my extension,
but that makes no sense at all. If this would be the solution I could
also add my code directly to the powermail2 extension - it wouldn't be
updateable anymore.
Could you please help me, how to do this? I'm using Typo3 6.2.x and
Powermail 2.
Because I use powermail2 not only for a membership form, but also for a
contact form, I need the possibility to set a flag, whether to use the
new functionality or not.
Thanks and best wishes,
Dirk
