Adding special functionality

Now that we've created a custom skin, we can still put more of our TemplaVoila and TypoScript skills to work. We might still need a lean, table-based page template for our e-mail newsletter, and we still might want to add another language to our site. Luckily, the TemplaVoila Framework is just a framework, and we still have all of the power of TemplaVoila and TypoScript at our disposal. We can create our own template objects in TemplaVoila to handle the newsletter, but this time we can use field names from the core data structure XML files so we don't need to remap anything. We can still add our own data structures fields as well. We can also plug in any of the TypoScript that we really need in the main template or create custom FCEs for advertising or product display. The workflow of our special functionality can all stay the same, or we can try to build on some of the standard features that the framework makes available. In either case, we're probably going to want to do some custom TypoScript and TemplaVoila coding using what we've learned, and the framework will get out of our way for that kind of development.
