[TYPO3-community] Using external extensions for community extension

[Michael Knoll]

Hallo Falk,

it was only an idea, how to integrate external plugins into a community 
extension. For me integrating plugins is one of the central point, which 
I don't know how to solve properly yet. By having those sysfolders, you 
could seperate the records for each user by putting them into different 
folders and you could use the plugin itself to show its contents. I have 
no other solution yet, how to do that. You could easily write a function 
that devides the folders into subfolders, so that you never have more 
than 100 folders to be displayed in the BE. As folders are only 
DB-Entries, 10.000 folders should be no problem.

If you have a better idea how to integrate external plugins into the 
community extension without having to write code for each extension you 
want to integrate, I would be happy, if you let me know about it.

So far

Michael
