[Typo3] Creating an extension

[Joshua Preston]

René,

In your class.tx_myplugin.pi1.php source file, you should have a couple 
lines that look like:

...

class tx_myplugin_pi1 extends tslib_pibase {
    var $prefixId = 'tx_myplugin_pi1';        // Same as class name
...

If you want to add that plugin to your Template, you'll need to set the 
variables either site-wide in your constants, in instance wide in your 
setup.

If sitewide, add something like the following to your template constants:

plugin.tx_myplugin_pi1 {
  color = blue
  option = left
  wrap = <b> | </b>
  ...
}

Then, in your setup, add:

whatever.mapping < plugin.tx_myplugin_pi1

If you want a separate instance, unrelated to the rest of your site, 
which I personally prefer:

temp.myplugin < plugin.tx_myplugin_pi1
temp.myplugin {
  color = blue
  option = left
  wrap = <b> | </b>
}

whatever.mapping < temp.myplugin

Either route, you should have no problems.

Thanks!

Joshua Preston.
