[TYPO3-commerce] Confirm order before payment

[Rik Willems]

Hi Ralf,

Thank you for thinking along. I did a quick search but can not find 
anything about the hidden triggers. It is too bad, I can not change the 
iDEAL template either.

Now I made a small extension that changes the behaviour of commerce, 
although it is a little bit of a hack. But it does work. In case anybody 
needs it they can contact me.

Greets, Rik
