[TYPO3-english] extension without adding plugin

Hi,

As you got no answer yet...

> An example of an extension that works this way is kj_imagelightbox2
> After installing the extension you do not actively have to add it to the

1) Analyze what does kj_imagelightbox2
2) Give a bit more information about what you want _exactly_ to achieve because I must say that I do not understand what you want to do. Some ideas you may have:

    a) Add some javascript in header
    b) Process text to do some changes (e.g., replacing some words by others)
    c) "Automatically" adding some plugin that shows, let's say bank quotes, on each page of your site

You may add a given plugin on each page using 1-2 lines of TypoScript in your template. See for example macina_searchbox to add a search form on each page. Or the same to add some icons to let user 
bookmark each and every page in some well-known community bookmark manager.

What are you looking for?
