An extension allows you to change the template to support additional feature(s) implemented in the extension. Extensions files must be placed under the subfolder "extensions" of the installation folder.

Notes

An extension is NOT a project template, do not try to select an extension as a template for generation. All extensions are only provided as examples on how to extend the template with your own code or your own implementation of third party tools, all third party tools used in them are not developed by the author of PHPMaker and are not part of PHPMaker, NO TECHNICAL SUPPORT WILL BE PROVIDED. Also see Third-party Tools for more information on the third-party tools. All third-party tools require implementation and will NOT automatically work with PHPMaker without extensions.
