hi bernd, thanks a lot for your help! it seems the whole thing isn´t that easy! Or in other words really a bad idea! Do you know if it´s possible to build a new extension based on an existing with the extension kickstarter? i never used it before. maybe its much easier to take a similar extension like nicosdirectory and change this for my needs. (the third way extending nicosdirectory for two funktionalities seems to be very hard, and a lot of php programming). thanks a lot for your help + happy new year! freitag _______________________________________________ TYPO3-english mailing list [email protected] http://lists.netfielders.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/typo3-english
