Creating Elements¶

to create your own element all you need to do is extend your element (MyElement) with the core class (Element)

<?php

class MyElement extends Element {

}

By default Elements are rendered with ClassName - template (IE MyElement.ss)

this behavior can be changed by overwriting Element::forTemplate()

Eg:

function forTemplate() {

    return "Hello World";

}

You can add custom cms edit fields by overloading Element::getCMSFields() (same as Page::getCMSFields())
