[TYPO3-commerce] Some little suggestions for the wiki page and some whining...

[Ian Solo]

Those are some little suggestions for the wiki page (please, correct me 
if i'm wrong):


1.
---------------------------------------------------------
This installation procedure is loosely based on: 
http://www.sk-typo3.de/Shop-aufsetzen-mit-commerce-Quickt.286.0.html
---------------------------------------------------------

The word "loosely" made me think that the wiki tutorial was worst than 
the quicktut one.

It should be better to write it in the way you answered me:
---------------------------------------------------------
This installation procedure is a translation (with some differences) of 
the german quick tutorial: 
http://www.sk-typo3.de/Shop-aufsetzen-mit-commerce-Quickt.286.0.html
---------------------------------------------------------


2.
The "Create a page tree" section should be more clear in this way (i 
added some "insert plugin" stuffs):

Shop        <-- shop root site
   Products  <-- insert plugin "Commerce: Product Listing"
     detail  <-- product detail view (not in menu)
   Basket    <-- insert plugin "Commerce: Basket"
     empty   <-- page that is shown if the basket is empty (not in menu)
   Checkout  <-- insert plugin "Commerce: Checkout" - this page shows 
the final overview for the purchased items (not in menu)
     empty   <-- page that is shown if the checkout is empty (not in menu)
   Invoice (not in menu)
   Address management <-- insert plugin "Commerce: Address Managment" - 
address management for returning customers
   Addresses          <-- container for address records (SysFolder)
   User               <-- container for customers (SysFolder)


3.
Is this page "detail  <-- product detail view (not in menu)" really needed?
Isn't the product's detail shown in the Products page by the "Commerce: 
Product Listing" plugin?


4.
Isn't the plug in "Commerce: Invoice" needed in the Invoice page?
If it is, the line:
   Invoice (not in menu)
should be changed in:
   Invoice  <-- insert plugin "Commerce: Invoice" - (not in menu)


5.
In the "Create a TypoScript ext Template for commerce" section, in the 
"Setup" subpart an "m" is missing, line:
	templateFile = {$templatePathCommerce}checkout.tpl
should be
	templateFile = {$templatePathCommerce}checkout.tmpl


6.
Same former section, but "Constants" subpart, a reference to the 
manual.sxw should be useful to help understand what every constant is.
Something like:
---------------------------------------------------------
Please, check the extension manual for more info about the former constants.
---------------------------------------------------------


7.
Add some typoscript examples of categories/products navigation menu. 
Like those in the german quick tutorial.


Well, atm, after 1 day of experiments, I'm able to navigate the 
catalogue, put items into the basket and see the checkout but if I fill 
the form and then I click on "Continue" I get back to the form empty.


Indeed you guys did a great work with this extension, I thank you very 
much for this.

But, put a so wanted and complex extension in the repository without a 
good documentation (and without a clear warning) is like to say "Hey! 
HERE you can date Jessica Alba!" without explain that HERE is the Moon 
and you got to reach she crawling. ;)

I don't want to be mean, I'm just expressing (friendly) my little 
disappointment because I see a big uncontrolled potential in this 
extension. I'm happy that finally Typo3 can have a complete e-commerce 
extension :)

I'm mainly a web designer with some knowledge of PHP, I speak italian 
and a little of english. I would like to give my help in this project.

Please, help us to help you.

Thanks again!ian
