Add an Extension Template Record

  1. To add an Extension Template record, begin by using the List Module and select the page on which you want to install the Extension Template Record. (This page is typically the one where you will place an extension's plugin.)
  2. Use the Template Module to install an Extension Template record.

  5. Your Extension Template record is available immediately and you can chage settings using the Constant Editor, add static templates, or add TypoScript to the Constants or Setup fields as needed.
