Modifying Purchased Add Ons
Permalink
Umm I dunno if this is a dum question but I can't seem to find the answer. If I purchase an Add On from the Marketplace am I able to modify it? For instance add extra fields to a form or an extra text area to a slideshow. As opposed to just re-skining it.
Thanks

That being said, I'm sure many add-on developers would cringe at the thought of anyone modifying their add-on then asking for support if/when something goes wrong.
My advice would be to contact the author FIRST and see if what you're doing can be done (or will be done in the near future), or if they're nice enough AND the modification is minor to simply give you the supplemental code themselves.
Forgive me if you're already an experienced add-on dev, but simply adding form fields in the block's add/edit files will not make the block save said data. Each block typically has a database table associated with it that corresponds in some shape or form to the fields on the block's add/edit window. Any changes to one should be reflected in the other and can be rather complex (depending on what type of user-inputted data is being added).
