Luxletter - Email marketing in TYPO3. Send newsletters the easy way.

Tech corner or extending luxletter

There are some possibilities to extend luxletter. All HTML-Templates (and Partials and Layouts) can be overwritten by your extension in the way how templates can be overruled in TYPO3. This fits the own content element Teaser and the rendering for the FluidStyledMailContent elements as well as the templates for the backend modules of luxletter and the NewsletterContainer.html.

If you want to manipulate the PHP, there are a lot of signals added to the extension itself. Just search for signalDispatch. You will find a lot of methods where you can stop mail sending, manipulate values, etc...
