How do I add a setting to templates?

[Harmster]

Hey,

I am looking for a good way to add a setting to a template using code only. 

Like a checkbox in the template options... 

Thanks

I haven't had an answer yet so I figured I post some more details.

I want a setting that enables MVC for my Module on template level, i want this to be a checkbox. How do I approach this? Can this be done with code lets say in the ___install() method of my module? 

Much appriciated

Have a look at mindplay.dk's Template Decorator module. It's a good example of doing this by hooking into ProcessTemplate::buildEditForm and ProcessTemplate::executeSave.

it looks like ProcessTemplate::buildEditForm  is a good example lets you create your own settings tabs, but is there any way to add or modify the "settings" of a page to add your own custom status, or would those have to go in their own Tab?

Check out this post from Ryan where he explains how to use: ProcessPageEdit::buildFormSettings
