[TYPO3-mvc] Backend Dispatcher available!

[Xavier Perseguers]

Hi there,

I know many of us wanted Extbase for backend modules too. We just did it 
in our extension ext_mvc_samples [1] though I must admit there is still 
no ExtJS involved there yet ;-)

Our backend dispatcher extends Tx_Extbase_Dispatcher with a single 
method callModule() that is called from famous typo3/mod.php dispatcher 
which had to be _very_ slightly modified to support Extbase.

No more conf.php file to be created, a simple module registration in 
ext_tables.php and that's it:

Tx_MvcExtjsSamples_Utility_Module::registerModule(
	'MvcExtjsSamples',
	'BlankModule',
	'index',
	array(
		'access' => 'user,group',
		'icon'   => 'EXT:mvc_extjs_samples/Resources/Public/Icons/movie_add.png',
		'labels' => 
'LLL:EXT:mvc_extjs_samples/Resources/Private/Language/locallang_mod_blank.xml',
	),
	'user',	// Make Blank module a submodule of 'user'
	'blank'
);

As you see, information from conf.php is now given as parameter during 
the registration. That's it!

There is still a lot to be tested because we only show a "Hello World" 
message as indexAction of the BlankModule controller but it's enough for 
you to make some tests and give us feedback!

Cheers
