The system provides you the possibility to add your own PHP scripts and to extend in this way the available functionality. The mechanism of doing this is simple - the first step is to upload the corresponding PHP files in the ROOT/extensions. You have then the choice to use your files for your custom defined tags or to set them as extension for a selected page. To set a file as extension of an existing page you have to set this from Website->Management. If there is a script set as extension of a page, it will be executed when the page is rendered and its output will be shown in the main content area. Additionally you may set your scripts to be executed for a custom defined tag. The tag should be defined from Extension-> Custom tags and then inserted in the template or in the page content. When the page is rendered all the custom defined tags will be replaced by the content generated by the script you set.
