== Add your template(s) to Extra Files processing ==
Please note that a template file for Cumulus to process (local name in the following) can have any file extension you want. Some example show ".txt" being used, others show ".cum" being used, but some ready made templates might use ".php". It really does not matter what the file extension is, but obviously what you enter in the local name "slot" must match the actual file you are referencing.
Similarly, a file that you are going to include in other scripts can have any extension you like, it makes no difference to the PHP parser. Thus what you put in the remote name "slot" must also match what you are going to use in your "include" (or "require") statements. One convention is that the extension should be ".inc" to make it clear it is an include file, not a web page as might be implied by using ".php". It is the "<?php" at the start of the file that the PHP parser will recognise when it brings the contents of the uploaded file into another script.
