Hallo,
I want to extend the kirbytext class with my own function but ist doesn’t work.
I use exactly the examble on [http://getkirby.com/blog/kirbytext](http://getkirby.com/blog/kirbytext) .
I put the kirbytext.extended.php in site/plugins.
In the panel I include the tag: (wikipedia: Twitter text: Lookup Twitter on Wikipedia language: de)
As result on my output-site I got only
(wikipedia: Twitter text: Lookup Twitter on Wikipedia language: de)
```
(wikipedia: Twitter text: Lookup Twitter on Wikipedia language: de)
```
What can be wrong?
Thanks Tom

Oh, you are trying to follow old descriptions (Kirby 1). The new way of creating custom kirbytags (Kirby 2) is described here [http://getkirby.com/docs/advanced/kirbytext](http://getkirby.com/docs/advanced/kirbytext)
