 ## Usage
 ### Registering your Extension 
 
-To make sg_mail available for your extension, you have to register it inside your **ext_localconf.php**
-by supplying a path string to an implementation of **SGalinski\SgMail\Service\RegisterInterface** with:
+To register your extension with sg_mail, you need a **Configuration File** for each template you want to integrate.
+It needs be a *.php* file and has to be inside the Configuration folder **typo3conf/ext/{your_extension}/Configuration** of your extension.
+The naming of the file should be in upper camel case, matching your template name. 
 
-* your extension key
-* a name for the template
-* the path to your default template files (template files should be named *language_code*.template.html. Example: en.template.html)
-* a brief description of the template (when is it used ?)
-* the template markers(placeholder variables)
-* the subjects for all templates. Here you have to use an associative array language_code => subject
+sg_mail will automatically parse valid configuration files of all extensions within your TYPO3 instance.
 
-**Example** :
+Inside the file you have mandatory and optional settings you can define:
 
-A fully working example class can be found here: **SGalinski\SgMail\Example\Register**
+**Mandatory**
 
-All you need to do to get the example to work is registering your class in **ext_localconf.php** with:
+- extension_key
+	Needed to associate this template with the appropriate extension,
 
-	\SGalinski\SgMail\Service\MailTemplateService::registerByFile('SGalinski\SgMail\Example\Register');
+- template_key
+	A unique identifier of your template.
+
+- description
+	A short description of your templates usage, displayed in the backend template editor. This should be a **language label**
+	
+- subject
+	The default mail subject used for this Template. Here you can also provide a language label.
+	
+- markers
+	An array of placeholder variables. Are dynamically replaced by the appropriate values. If you don't want any markers, provide an empty array.
+	
+	A marker needs to be structured as follows:
+	
+		- marker
+			The variables name used in your templates.
+		
+		- type
+			Here you can specify the variable type by using one of the constants in the **\SGalinski\SgMail\Service\MailTemplateService** class.
+		
+		- value
+			An example value of this marker. Also used for previewing your mails in the backend module.
+			
+		- description
+			A short text describing the purpose of this marker.
+		
+	
+**Optional**	
+	
+- template_path
+	You can provide a path to your mail template that differs from the default path with this setting.
+		
+
+
+**Example:**
+
+Your configuration file for the template "confirm_mail" should be **../Configuration/ConfirmMail.php**.
+
+A possible ConfirmMail.php file could look like this:
+
+	return [
+		'extension_key' => 'sg_example',
+		'template_key' => 'confirm_mail',
+		'description' => 'LLL:EXT:sg_example/Resources/Private/Language/locallang.xlf:mail.confirm.description',
+		'subject' => 'LLL:EXT:sg_example/Resources/Private/Language/locallang.xlf:mail.confirm.subject',
+		'markers' => [
+			[
+				'marker' => 'username',
+				'type' => \SGalinski\SgMail\Service\MailTemplateService::MARKER_TYPE_STRING,
+				'value' => 'max.mustermann@example.org',
+				'description' => 'LLL:EXT:sg_energieportal/Resources/Private/Language/locallang.xlf:mail.marker.username'
+			],
+			.... // more markers
+		]
+	];
 
 ### Send an email with the MailTemplateService

-2. Set all desired fields (i.e. setLanguage, setToAddresses, setTemplateName, setExtensionKey etc.)
-3. Invoke the **sendEmail()** function
+2. Provide the **template_name**, **extension_key** and marker array in the constructor
+3. Set or override all desired fields (i.e. setLanguage, setToAddresses, setTemplateName, setExtensionKey etc.)
+4. Invoke the **sendEmail()** function
 
 Example: 
 
 	// get an instance of the service

-	
-	// set the extension key & template name (mandatory!)
-	$mailService->setExtensionKey('your_extension_key');

+	$mailService = $this->objectManager->get(MailTemplateService::class, 'confirm_mail', sg_example', ['username' => $username]);
 	
-	// set all the custom fields, these fields all have fallbacks from your configuration or the code
 	$mailService->setFromName($this->settings['fromName']);
 	$mailService->setFromAddress($this->settings['fromEmail']);
 	$mailService->setToAddresses([$emailAddress]);
 	$mailService->setIgnoreMailQueue(TRUE);
-	$mailService->setMarkers(['link' => $uri]);
