  • 1.17. Extension Development
    • One of the most useful features of Simple Slideshow 2, is that it's designed to be extendable. If you have an idea for a slideshow effect that you want to implement, then you can use the documentation in this chapter to realise your idea. You'll need to have reasonable proficiency in AS3, and a good understanding of creating Typo3 extensions.
    • In this chapter, I'll be using the extension simpleslideshow2_static  as an example, so you'll need to make appropriate changes in the appropriate places. I'd suggest having its sources open in your IDE as you read this, for reference.
