The site_generator extension is highly customizable, this chapter describes the basics of the extension and explain how to extend it in order to fit your own needs :

  • add customs states
  • add specific data to forms
  • change wizard steps

The site_generator wizard is based on State Design Pattern :

class SiteGeneratorDto { } class StateBase { } class SiteGeneratorWizard { # setNextWizardState() __ protected data __ #StateBase currentState #BaseDto siteData } class StateCopyModelSite { + process($context:SiteGeneratorWizard) } class StateCreateFileMount { + process($context:SiteGeneratorWizard) } class StateCreateFolder { + process($context:SiteGeneratorWizard) } class StateCreateFeGroup { + process($context:SiteGeneratorWizard) } SiteGeneratorDto --* SiteGeneratorWizard SiteGeneratorWizard o-- StateBase : currentState StateBase <|- StateCreateFeGroup StateBase <|-- StateCreateFolder StateBase <|-- StateCreateFileMount StateCopyModelSite -|> StateBase note left of SiteGeneratorWizard::currentState States comes from TypoScript Setup end note class SiteGeneratorDto note right: Data Transfer Object From forms wizard

The wizard get states from TypoScript Setup and form data through SiteGeneraorDto.

For full customization, I suggest to create your own extension, this is how it is suppose to be in following section, the tree structure looks like this :
